#1 As George Bernard Shaw once said: "Anarchism is a game at which the police can beat you."

And this face looks like its been beaten more than a few times. This lovely lady is the queen of the anarchists, the late emma goldman. She was supposedy behind the assassination of President William McKinley in 1901.

#2 Easy to spot the anarchists; they're the ones who always look like the woke up pissed off and ugly.

#5 Back in the 80's I'd see kids with the anarchic "A" symbol on their notebooks. I'd tell 'em if you want anarchy, try Beirut.

It's much more convenient to be a bomb throwing anarchist in places where the latte is plentiful.

#6 Good point, Lars. Problem with Beirut is, no one would notice them, and their egos can't handle that.

#7 Having lived in D.C. and the surrounding Metro area from 1982 to 2000 I can attest to the fact that the wingnuts frequently overrun the streets. However, having said that, there was a time when the D.C. police took absolutely no shit from anyone. It sounds as though that policy might have changed.

#8 Some years ago, a rumor started up about a fake new illegal drug. It turned into quite a circus, with undercover police "bikers from hell" offering any amount of money to get some so that it could be analyzed. It got sillier and sillier as rumors abounded about the drugs' amazing high.

At one point, someone suggested that the Anarchy symbol, used as a graffiti, was how the users of the drug communicated with them. This was when those letter "A's" were everywhere. Some uniformed cop was seen going all over town, taking pictures of them.
