Oh and I am fairly certain that non-violent civil struggle predated the mid-Sixties urban rioting.
>You could have a collective agreement in advance on what tactic to use
during an action when Black Bloc types pull these kinds of stunts. In
the videos I've seen, there's inevitably a group of demonstrators trying
to give the BB a hard time or even trying to physically stop them, but
it all looks so haphazard and demoralized and always fails. It would be
better if, for example, everyone knew that they were supposed to, say,
stop, point, and -- without trying to stop the BB -- chant some
pre-approved line in unison, like saboteurs. The BB does these things
solely to create photo opps -- if the videos posted to the web the next
day show them being heckled down by a big group of normal demonstrators
who outnumbered them, it would ruin the effect they're trying to create.
