Yup, I've met your pal, Kevin Keating who had that banner at one of our 
demos here, so easily exploitable by Horrorwitzend.

Four of us at UCSC tried to around midnight right after the invasion of 
Grenada, wanted to burn a US flag. As i climbed up the flagpole, the UCSC 
cops doing their rounds discovered us. After S. Brian Willson, a Vietnam 
vet had his legs shorn off by a train at the Concord Naval Weapons Station 
full of munitions bound to Salvadorean military to fight the FMLN, I was 
one of a bunch of anarchists (and the wonderful bearded Sisters of 
Perpetual Indulgence) that helped to destroy the tracks w/ sledgehammers. 
I'm not against such tactics, when they can work. But, advocating fragging, 
when you have no sense of the decades some 20 yr. old kid would face in 
military prison upon conviction in a military court martial, is just 
adventurist epater les bourgeois rhetoric.
