Seems to be the latest strategy as people become more and more frustrated with a system that rewards criminals that operate from within the system. I think it's time to organize protests at the homes of those Bush administration officials who were recently indicted in Spain on charges of torture.
http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/1525503,CST-NWS-cophouse14.articleNearly two dozen people held a silent protest Monday night outside the Bridgeport home of police detective Joseph Frugoli, according to WMAQ-Channel 5.
Some protesters said they believed that Frugoli was receiving special treatment because he is Chicago cop.
On Sunday, Cook County Judge Donald Panarese Jr. set a $500,000 bail for Frugoli, charged with killing two men in a drunken-driving accident. Some of the victims' friends and family members said the bail was too low Sunday -- a complaint echoed by protesters Monday.
Frugoli was freed on bail Sunday afternoon.
Protesters said they plan to return to the Frugoli home.

Working Families spokesman Bryan Collinsworth says the people on the bus will not be "stereotypical radical activists" -- just regular folks facing hard times looking to give AIG a piece of their minds.
At each executive's house, the bus will stop and attempt to deliver a letter detailing working people's problems.
