Nonviolent Protest and Resistance Privileged

The two of you seem to share a common information source.  

I go by what I see in Europe. And the protests these guys actually ruined. Protests for valid causes that have been dragged into the dirt by these guys showing up and starting to destroy stuff, so that the powers that be could shrug it off as riots. Such as demonstrating against a neonazi ball. Splendid opportunity for the rightwing tabloids to place their narrative of the peaceful right and the violent left. I'm not a friend of these guys, since other than the claim of anarchism, they don't have any agenda to speak off.

They're violence tourists showing up uninvited and unwanted.
