(11,065 posts)They're just obnoxious kids and always have been. They aren't anarchists either as they wouldn't know an anarchist if one bit them on their ass. They're nothing but obnoxious kids in their teens and very early 20's, both male and female, and middle to upper middle class who found out about black bloc tactics from the internet or one of their equally obnoxious friends who found out from the internet and decided to use it as nothing more than a means to make mayhem with the likelihood of not getting caught. That's IT. They do it for NO other reason than they think it's fun to overturn cars, smash windows, tip over trash cans, ram into innocent people or even beat some up, etc. They don't even KNOW what any particular protest or sizable crowd is about and don't give a shit. They show up at any sizable protest or any sizable crowd for any other reason for the SOLE purpose of creating havoc with the likelihood of not getting caught because they can so easily melt into a crowd and lose the black bandanna or ski mask and appear a second later as Joe or Jane Average. Not a damn one of them would have the guts to do the shitty things they do during protests or in any sizable crowd because that would mean likely getting caught, and mommy and daddy might take away their computer, not let them watch tv or use mommy and daddy's credit cards at the mall.
