Poetic?!
More like oxymoronic. "Pacifist Assassin" jumps to mind. It depends a lot on bias. You see the underdog. I see terrorists exploiting the popularity of their cause.

"not with the intent of hurting anyone"
Disagree. Deliberate violent intent. I'm sure the owners of the boat were hurt, especially at insurance settlement time.
As far as technically non-violent protest - what would have been wrong with writing letters instead of obstructionism?
