Didn't they already smash those windows like six months ago?

Black ski-mask wearing pussies.
Sooo....what have you dumbasses accomplished, aside from costing us all money to repair it? I mean, besides to stroke your own egos?
The 'A-Team' can kiss my ass.

Quoting Andrew W.K.? I fucking love these guys.

uh-oh, looks like someone fed the white youth trust-fund anarchist brigade sugar and caffeine again.

Also, I'm pretty sure the irony of anarchists using the Internet is completely lost on them.

Fassbinder is rolling in his grave.

"Snitch Culture."

I prefer the term Tattle-taleocracy.
8
Whew, I was getting real fed up with this crushing oppression.

"Community Police" contact office?

Pretty sure it's the traffic division headquarters. Whatever. It's probably pretty convenient for them seeing as it's right between the QFC and their parents' place in Laurelhurst.

"Honey, do you really need a black bandana and a hammer JUST to go get milk?"

Help, I'm being repressed! Come see the violence inherent in the system!

This actually reminds me of seeing Harry Potter and sitting next to almost the entirety of the Red and Black Cafe's staff. All I could think of was whether or not I had the balls to say "Insane Frown Posse" at more than a whisper (read: I don't).

On the plus side, they were all very nice and kind of funny. Except the one girl. She pouted as much in person as she looks like she would in the infamous blogtown photo.

Not really into the anarchy thing. Not that I know a lot about it. I see stuff like this and it reminds me of my years as an obstinate and stupid child.

Anarchy: Stuff White People Like

It's not politically well-informed to judge all anarchists by people of this stripe. Lots of us roll our eyes at these folks who want to score "direct action" points but have no real long-range strategy and few real ties to the communities affected by the issues they rant about. I understand why they feel the way they do, but striking out in anger with sparse little actions here and there does little but trigger a backlash, from authorities and the communities that many anarchists hope to ally ourselves with. Unfortunately, "anarchist" is such a broad word that it's all to easy for use it in very broad strokes who have little real understanding of its history.
And there's no conflict in our using the internet. Most of us are not "anarcho-primitivists," and even in their case... Well, needn't get into that.

(by "conflict" I meant irony or contradiction and was replying to bookfiend)

"Don't fuck with the (A)-Team"

@geyser: Much of the groundwork used in developing the internet was a product of government funded defense technology research as part of the cold war.
17
Not just the internet-- high-tech innovation has always depended heavily on the state sector of the economy, which the public pours money into (and then the private sector reaps most of the financial benefit). Most anarchists use the tools that come out of this process just like everyone else. What do you expect, that they/we shun all advanced technology to prove some kind of misguided point about wishing the world isn't the way it is? Surely that'd be far more foolish than using the tools we and trying to make things better.
18
The real irony is that perhaps these 'anarchists' through their terrorism tactics, 'justify better defense measures to safeguard capitalism'.
I wonder if they've even considered this point of view.
Their own actions are a real reason society becomes more oppressive.
It's not just a terrorist with a bomb on a plane making us all have to go through checkpoints. They too are a cause for all the problems they see.

* we _have_ I meant to type -- sorry

Kids are cute.
21
This sounds like a job for the A-Team!
22
Traffic division is at Burnside and 40-something, in the old Safeway. It used to be at Hawthorne and MLK. PoPo still uses that office but it's not really public (there's no sign on the door -- just cop cars parked there).

Yeah, WTF.
23
Anarchists are psuedo-intellectuals, and seemingly the only political group (you are not really anarchists) that can create sympathy for the police in Portland, Oregon. It's like Newsweek thinking that they need to tell me that Michelle Bachmann is an idiot. Clowns without jobs or brains.
24
Posers stole my idea!
25
So what's at that pugentsound link? I don't want to surf there for a work computer. Blogtown is bad enough!
26
@Cat and Beard...awesome "Young Ones" ref! @ Bookfiend, yes but I'm pretty sure everyone knows that? And in related news, now we know what DamosA has been up to, are at least wishes/claims he has. In other related news, angry white kids are angry and have catchy '80's TV references....which makes it really hard for me to take them with any degree of seriousness.
27
I've always thought of anarchists as libertarians who don't have any money.
28
My spam box gets more Annoying stuff that this.

We need to sign Sarah up for some real Annoying Emails.

@The Showstopper: Sorry to correct you, but wasn't that a "Holy Grail" reference? *This* is a "Young Ones" reference:

Do you dig graves?
Yeah, yeah, they're all right, yeah.
30
And another that's perhaps more pertinent:
"Next Tuesday, right, I'm going to blow up a panda in Croydon."
"Yeah, right on. Bloody zoos, who needs them?"
31
"you call this a vacation, two weeks under a light bulb in the basement?"
32
@Todd, quite right I realized that 5 minutes after i posted. Damn concussions! Good Young Ones quotes!

Please wait...
