Prove it or shut the fuck up.

As to your follow up post, perhaps if you stopped asking questions with obvious and well-discussed answers, you wouldn't get modded down.
The reason the guy resorted to such measures is simple. Inaction to stop the practice from the usual legal and / or technological channels.
Inaction to stop a practice that most of the people in the society he lives in deemed legal doesn't give him the right or privilege to impose his will on others without their consent and in violation of the law. You do understand that is what he was doing, right? He disapproved of other engaging in legal behaviors and broke the law to force them to not engage in said legal activity. What would you call it when people you like are doing something you deem legal and are forced to stop by someone with the means but no authority?
The human species overall is pretty stupid.
And, you proved that with your post.
Government has failed to act to address these safety issues.
But, sacdelta, you did have a comment when a government tried to act to address one of these safety issues:
Please! Take action so we don't have to take responsibility for our own lives. Heaven forbid we ever have to think for ourselves.
A better solution may be to force anyone who complains about how this type of thing negatively impacts them to take a class in self control.

You mean like when someone jams your call?
