OK cool thanks for that.  But someone who randomly loots and destroys is an anarchist, or one particular type of anarchist.

I see.  So you are arguing those who are setting fires, destroying property and looting stores are not anarchists?  They meet my definition.

 

I can definitely see why the protestors handed over hammer boy to the National Guard.  The legitimate protestors recognize that the looters and rioters are not the protestors’ friends.  They are crass opportunists.  Those groups are the common enemy of everyone.

 

Note that the one video of the protestors handing over hammer guy did more to advance their cause than anything: they demonstrate they don’t generalize the crime of the bad cops in Minneapolis to all police or all National Guard.  Good for them.  I stand with them in solidarity.
