The homeless close to where I work lost their tent to a police officer who chose to on his own time take a knife and rip it to shreds. Of course, they were trespassing so they really don't have any recourse.
But we have a recourse. Saul, the greatest tyrant to ever live, was transformed into the Apostle Paul, a lowly tent mender. He would beseech us not to complain to the authorities about the evil act of destroying the tent, but to have the courage to mend the damaged tent.
While the solution of tyranny is to thoughtlessly reproduce the tent, God's Will is to repair the damaged tent.
So, God's creation focusses more on mending than on reproduction.
