In this report we see a bunch of so-called “anarchists” disrupted a peaceful demonstration about immigrant rights. These a-holes took what was good rally and purposely destroyed property and assaulted the police. This is not the first time these morons have done this in Seattle and other places, usually during the G8 conferences.
They don’t like businesses or capitalism in general? Fine. Do your march, wave your signs and shout your slogans. But don’t fuck up someone else’s legitimate rally or destroy property. And definitely don’t assault the police. That just makes you an asshole.
Yup. Invariably these are suburban brats going to high-cost schools who think they way to stick it to the man is to go into cities and wreck stuff that is used or belongs to working class people.
Same assholes that started the 1999 WTO shit. If I were a conspiracy nut I’d believe they are agent provocateurs paid to give the SPD an excuse to gas & club labor protestors, college kids, moms picking their kids up from daycare, etc; but my opinion of the SPD is low but not that low.
Of course. But challenge any of them on it and they will chalk it up to the mythical “black bloc”, which, for a group of anarchists, sure is very well-funded and organized since they seem to get around to every incident of violence at a protest on Earth.
Your opinion of the SPD may be too high. They (or any local/state government agency) would never be hide the hiring of “agent-provocateurs” in a budget without someone noticing or someone leaking it to the press. (Nowadays, at any rate)
And think of all the paperwork that’s gonna come with all this clubbin’. Incident reports out the ass. Depositions for the inevitable lawsuits. Internal affairs investigations. Ugh, the whole nine yards. What’s the upside here?
