And some fuckin' idiots at indymedia think this is a COINTELPRO action.
The left liberal mantra is now "look at those bad anarchists" while, as
people have noted previously, they're riding our coattails. I'll be
writing to those folks.

One of the local news channels - I completely forget which one; it was
either KING 5 or KIRO 7 - had a televised interview with the "anarchist"
squatters on 9th and Virginia. ("Anarchist" in quotes because some of
them preferred "anti-authoritarian" or other similar terms.) The piece
was a bit reactionary, as per usual. However, they did show a clip of
people who called themselves "social anarchists" who stated that while
they didn't and wouldn't participate with the window-smashing, they also
supported those anarchists that did unequivocally.
