This group is nothing new - they've been around for awhile, including at the Seattle WTO protests in 1999 so it's doubtful they're stopping anytime soon. They're affiliated with the Black Bloc - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_bloc
I've been paying attention because they've been involved in mayhem here in northern California in protests against right wing and white supremacist groups, including a violent protest here in Sacramento last June.
When I've taken my daughter to protests, I've been careful to check beforehand on who might attend so we don't get caught up in any bloody violence. I'm all for protesting and having a voice but I won't abide violence or threats by anyone, especially not around my kid.
