44. they show up at every protest of any kind and have for many years
Primarily they're young teenagers. They aren't anarchists any more than you are I are. They just like to take advantage of any situation where they can destroy stuff without the likelihood of getting caught. They just discovered anarchy and blak bloc on the intertubes and used it to hang their hats on in order to give themselves some sense of legitimacy.
Some people here like to think they're "agents provocateurs". Pfffttt. They're kids. Stupid, criminal kids that like any excuse to cause damage to anyone's property not their own and are too cowardly to do it while not taking advantage of a crowd that provides them a sort of cover. Police know who they are (as a group anyway) and what they're about... they've arrested plenty of them over the years and had to call their mommies and daddies to come bail their crybaby asses out.
There really isn't much of anything one can do about them. They're bound to show up regardless just as they've been doing for ages. The only thing I can think of that might help is to always be on the lookout for them, and when seen making mayhem sit on them until the police show up. The only way they'll go and stop showing up is to make them so uncomfortable about being stopped and caught the entire reason for showing up at all becomes more trouble than they think it's worth. Of course, doing anything about them can bring unwanted problems to peaceful protesters, but I'm not seeing how ignoring them does anything but embolden them either.
This post is as close to the truth as you'll get from a primitive. A few things wrong: they are anarchists and black bloc, that's not really in question so for this primitive to say otherwise was just dumb. And trying to stop them won't work because they'll start calling those trying to do so agent provocateurs. These libs have painted themselves into a corner on this one.
When I used to hang out at SF Indymedia, these anarchists were forever talking about the black bloc and how they'll eventually be the spark that lit the coming revolution. They would plan and plot what they called the "breakaway march" which is when a group of them would leave the designated march area so they could create their own mayhem.
Of course, anything destructive that happened they would claim it was agent provocateurs placed by law enforcement within their ranks who did things to make them look bad. But it was all too obvious that was their excuse, because the next announced protest date they'd be back planning their next breakaway march.
It's only natural that the primitives would be stupid enough to believe agent provocateurs are making them look bad. Bring it up and they start crying "COINTELPRO! COINTELPRO!" like the robots that they are. It's like trying to talk to the 911 toofers. Not worth the effort.
