Look -- it's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. You don't have to agree but I think it's a crappy thing to do.
ETA: And since this all started with the article Hank posted on the FB, let's just see how quiet and respectfully these demonstrators you don't think are jackasses are behaving:
Shouting at night and putting a tent in someone's driveway -- that should be jackass per se.

I agree that the mere fact that someone is a government official (or an abortion provider, for sure) doesn't make their home fair game.
But I disagree with respect to someone like Officer Pepper Spray. When you assault a group of people who don't threaten you, then you or your cohorts lie about it publicly to blame the protestors, and then go on paid leave and retreat to your home, well, fuck it. All bets are off. He's lucky the crowd didn't rush his fat ass.
