A gang of BB doing their thing in the middle of somebody else's action is aggression the action, pure and simple. It is tantamount to taking over a platform at a demo that someone else had organized. It's outrageous. It's using somebody else for human shields. Now if they want to go rob a bank and shoot up the tellers somewhere else that's a different matter. Stupid, immoral and suicidal, but it would be on their heads.

The possibility that BBers are helping support the camp is irrelevant.

They have to know that most people there are not coming to get beaten up for something somebody else might take it into his head to do. If they want to organize a gathering for people who aspire to be convicted felons, they should advertise it under those auspices.

I've seen this shit before and it really gets under my skin.
