I'm amazed at the ubiquitous lack of solidaity displayed toward the black-clad anarchists. In fact, several writers suggest that the cops should have been arresting the anarchists and not tear-gassing them. This thinking is muddled and defies logic. Also, there is no recognition in many of these articles that several thousand anarchists participated (4-6000) that day; not all of them look like "black-clad anarchists." There were many anarchists among the folks who blockaded the streets and took gas and bullets. If "progressive" activists are going to use the same language as journalists from the boss media, how are we ever going to unify to solve the world's problems?
