    I wonder if anyone who was there(or anyone who has atended Crimethinc events) has anything to say about this:
    Wow. Don't even know where to begin with this. (Sorry, can't include link because I'm new, but it refers to "smack a white boy")

    I have long wondered about cop infiltration of APOC cells and this makes me wonder even more. If they aren't infiltrated, they're certainly doing a great job of doing a cop's job for him. Don't go confront capitalism- confront a bunch of stupid, lumpenized anarchists. Brilliant.

    On the other side, I find it slightly hilarious that CrimethInc. were so paralyzed by white guilt that they were unable to defend themselves. It was their entire convergence against how many people? I don't care about the gender or skin color of anyone trying to bust up a leftist meeting... they come in and try and shut things down, fists are gonna start flying. Inb4 "Internet Tough Guy Syndrome"- I've actually been in this situation, more than once.

    As always, race baiting isn't "radical." It's backward and ties the Black proletariat to the Black petit bourgeoisie, implying that they have some kind of objective connection based on the color of their skin. A look at who is leading the attacks on the living standards of workers of all colors, particularly at the city government level, will disprove this vulgar analysis.

    I feel a little unclean sticking up for CrimethInc.... but seriously. Why would anyone attack them? Their biggest crime is being stupid and smelling bad. Again, I think the specter of cop infiltration of APOC is raised quite sharply by this. I have suspected cop infiltration of APOC in the past, and while this doesn't confirm it, it's another exhibit on the pile.

    That was certainly an interestingly worded article, the crimes of Crimethinc being of dubious merit (gentrification of Pittsburgh?). I too had the thought that they should have thrown the protesters out, and/or at least had good enough security to keep them out.
