I'm not sure who was breaking windows the other day but when I speak of anarchists, I'm talking about self-perclaimed, screw-heads who are looking for trouble. When you see them you know who they are. Masked, throwing things, confronting the police, basically doing the things that real demonstrators shake their heads at (or should).
There was a link early on in this thread where one of the raids netted a number of things that included Wrist Rockets, knived, caltrops, buckets of urine, etc. There were more items mentioned, but some/most of them 'might' be common to a home. Demonstrators, at least legitimately peaceful ones, don't need weapons. On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 9:52 AM, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I heard about the "anarchists" who were breaking windows.
