re: #118 EmmmieG

If one of my children wanted to go to something, and I knew that there were anarchists there who intended to start trouble, I would advise them not to go.

Take that argument further.

Why protest against a war, like the anti-war protests against Iraq? You know that the anarchists and Code Pink douchebags are going to go, so why bother? Why fight for collective bargaining rights if some vandals might chance going and breaking shit? Same thing with OWS. Why raise awareness of injustice if a few radical elements are going to piggyback on the cause and be problematic?

If that’s the case, no one should ever speak out on anything because of the possibility of negative elements showing up.
