Anarchist psychos like Sadena just use the term "Direct Action" as a euphemism for "Vandalism, violence, looting, and rioting," because they know that if they expressly state their purposes (i.e. on a website, or in fliers they distribute), there's an excellent chance they could get arrested for incitement, and Anarchists fear nothing more than having to face the consequences of their actions. That's why they're always wearing those stupid bandanas over their faces, to make it harder for the cops to identify them when they throw a brick of a Molotov through a random store window.
Downtown Hound is an idiot. Those groups he claims he won't condemn such as ALF and the black bloc freaks have no problem using violence and threats of violence against people to achieve their goals. Animal rights psychos such as the ALF send death threats to the families of people who are involved in animal testing, or even just do business dealings with companies involved in it (as in, say you're a medium- level executive at some science company that has some level of business dealings with a separate research- lab company that has been known to engage in animal testing: Chances are, if the ALF psychos find out about it, you, your spouse, and your children will all be targeted for harassment, death threats, and possibly even a mail bomb from them). The black bloc Anarchist psychos who descended on St. Paul for the 2008 Republican National Convention had no problem terrorizing and at times physically attacking women, children, the elderly, conservative counterdemonstrators, and anyone else who they saw as disagreeing with them (And that's not even counting their attacking police officers). A couple of them dropped sandbags and bags of concrete off overpasses onto passing buses filled with delegates, which could have easily killed someone. They probably would have hurt even more innocent people and even killed some of them if it weren't for the fact that the St. Paul police did a freaking awesome job doing pre- emptive raids against the Anarchists' safehouses in the days before the convention, arrested many of their leaders on valid charges, and confiscated a ton of their stockpiled weapons. Brandon Darby, a liberal activist who became a police informant when he realized how truly dangerous the black bloc Anarchists were, helped foil a plan by them to attack police officers with firebombs during the convention, and has since received numerous death threats from the Anarchists' buddies for his role in the sting operation.
These are the people that this fool Downtown Hound is defending, and refusing to condemn.
