Yeah, I'd throw a a rotten salad or brick myself. I just don't want to give those that take pleasure in other people suffering (convicted or not) an excuse to go wallow in it like a pig in mud.

A: Look, he screwed hundreds of workers out of their hard earned money, lets throw a half composted pile of potatoes at him as he deservers to be humiliated and then locked, I'm OK with that.

B: Look, he screwed hundreds of workers out of their hard earned money, lets throw a half composted pile of potatoes at him so I can feel better about my drunkard wife, my incompetent children and my ability to not get myself promoted because I have no spine to get anywhere in this world... I am soooo not allowing that

I've seen too much of that public feel-good-about-myself mockery in my hometown
