Banksy โข Tesco Petrol Bomb Poster, by jakek on May 4, 2011 14:34:10 GMT 1, I wonder what the headlines would be if the Tescos got petrol bombed next week  Banksy funds Petrol Bomb attack 
I think you've missed the point Silky.
Police raided the squat opposite tesco (just down the road from the bookfair) 2 weeks ago because people were preparig firebombs to use against it.
Banksy is raising funds to help those affected in the various ways.

Banksy โข Tesco Petrol Bomb Poster, by gnobziw on May 4, 2011 14:40:42 GMT 1, there never were any 'petrol bombs' . a few bottles of piss maybe , but no petrol bombs. that 'petrol bomb' rumour was started by the private security firm hired by tesco to protect their shop. the police jumped on it as an excuse. the riots started because of police using excessive violence against squatters and passers by , nothing to do with tesco. though tesco are naturally a target, so when it does kick off they , along with other nearby shops and cars got damaged.

Sorry, i should have said "allegedly preparing" rather than "preparing" but that was the reason why the police moved in and the whole thing kicked off.

Banksy โข Tesco Petrol Bomb Poster, by Goooogle Male on May 4, 2011 15:50:07 GMT 1, Ok its a quick 2 mins in photoshop, but IMHO this is more of what he should have gone for - "soup thrower!"
A knowing nod to previous iconic image, edited for the occasion. There's no humour or intellectual 1-upmanship in the tesco value petrol bomb (as opposed to Love is in the air / og soupcan).
Petrol bombs kill and maim people indiscriminately, and a 'postive' view of this is the overwhelming message this new banksy poster gives out. Very un-banksy.

merchants of their own destruction maybe ?
providers of the fuel to feed the fire of anger against them ?
they make their own bed ..
suffer consequences of their own actions
this bomb is not 'literal' but an allegory.
do you seriously think people will see this poster and then be inspired or influenced to make a petrol bomb of their own to use against persons or property.

PRSC are salt of the earth people. seriously take a proper look at their website. you will not find them advocating any form of violence, hatred or confrontation. you say the website shows confrontation ? i dont see any evidence of that . perhaps there are scenes of a confrontational nature in their documenting photographs of life in stokes croft. but that would be all.
from their website:
"Our modus operandi is to work with the nature of the built environment.
To improve through painting, to act gently.
To care for the fabric of the area. "
