You're attributing a cause to their actions without evidence that that's
why they're doing what they're doing. They *could* be anarchists, but they
could also just be destroying things for fun, looting because they want
free stuff, reacting out of fear/anger, etc.

Now that you know labeling them as anarchists is offensive, kindly stop
doing that. Stick with observable labels like rioters or looters.
