Civil, or uncivil.

The irony is likely lost on "anonymous" who attends Occupy events wearing their ironic Guy Fawkes masks while at the same time bemoaning and demeaning autonomous actions.

99.9% of the black bloc is not uncivilized.

All it takes is one.

This video comes off as pro-capitalist libertarian nonsense that has no place in Occupy.
