The protestors handed him over, and continued with their peaceful protest, honoring Martin Luther King and the memory of George Floyd.  Good for them.  Bad for hammer boy.  I hope this sends a message: police brutality protestors, over here.  People wishing to destroy property and harm police, over there.  Looters: nowhere.  Three different things.

Again, why do _you_ believe that person is an anarchist? 

Do you believe what that person is doing is something necessarily anarchists must do?

I showed you a video of an anarchist. (In particular, it was anarchist philosopher Roderick T. Long.) Did you watch the video at all? If you did, were you waiting for him to smash something or maybe attack an audience member because, well, he’s an anarchist?
