(14,173 posts)Flush out the right wing provocateurs who I assure you will be there. They have been at every other big protest where progressive youth are involved.
I love the Guy Fawks masks and how they represent the movement, more in reference to the excellent movie V for Vendetta than the original person of course. But those and for sure any "protesters" wearing black bandanas over the face should be denounced and asked to either remove their face coverings or leave the protest. IMO if you are either fearful, bashful, or embarrassed to show your face at a protest, or you claim it is part of your anarchist "costume" and you refuse to shed it, for a cause you supposedly are proud to support it is very suspicious.
Because the establishment WILL send in provocateurs to stain any Occupy Spring, you can count on it. Its stupid to go blithely into it thinking it won't happen, and the best defense is a good offense. If it means offending a few innocent protesters that wanted to look scarey or clever etc....then that's the price.
I am sick of these police agents doing things like the WTO conference in Toronto where they conveniently abandoned a Police car in the middle of the street, disappeared from sight and then sent in a couple of their black clad goons to light it on fire. And surprise surprise the news media just happened to be right there to film the whole thing.
