Back in the day there was the Spartacist League (cists, anyone?). The revolutionary anarchist group with nothing better to do than try to validate their own existence, while drawing police action that gets headlines.They, and others always showed up at demonstrations and rallys to disrupt and draw attention to themselves as they caused violence to justify their martyrdom. Today, there are those provoking confronatation who are emboldened by the swift crackdowns at the uviversities. The issue at hand is lost in the media coverage.
Who, exactly, they are and funded by today, is not known at this time. The live news last night on MSNBC stated that NYPD was aware of the identities of several who were not students and had been known to them for a while. Similar to what I was told by SFPD in 1991 when I was the liason with the police department as the San Francisco anti war march down Market Street was being organized. The Captain in charge of monitoring the march told me quite clearly that he and many of SFPD were were with us and thought the coming war was a political piece of crap. We worked very well together. Keeping track of the crazies was hard work, but that massive march was pulled off with no significant violence or arrests. Last night, the world was watching and NYPD was being very careful.
The nothing better to do Bourgeios crazies are here to stay, unfortunatly.
