Some fraction of those black bloc people are usually agent provocateurs. At least here in germany the far right and left is subverted by payed informants and undercover police to the extend that it wasn't feasible to prosecute the most prominent far right party because a significant fraction of their leadership had been police informants for years.
- tptacek 12y agoIf by "agent provocateurs" you mean "assholes who are not good-faith protestors but instead seizing on the opportunity to revel in mayhem with the protection of a big crowd of people to disappear into", sure, I absolutely believe that's the case. If by "agent provocateurs" you mean "the police sent people in as agents to incite violence", you've lost me. In any case: none of that could possible apply to the Edelweiss restaurant incident with Hammond.
- e12e 12y agoThere's certainly room for interpretation, but when I look at stuff like: http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2012/05/terr-m21.html http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2012/05/terr-m21.html from Norway, I'm not thinking: great way to support the right to peacefully assemble and protest.
