The “black-bloc” anarchists who are famous for rioting actually represent a very small percentage of the people in the world who identify as anarchists.

That seemed to be the whole problem here. If they weren't causing problems in the first place they'd never been signaled out. They were creating havoc that led to havoc being created upon them.

As we have seen recently with the racist New York lawyer who lost his office space after a public outburst or the woman who became a meme after calling the police on a family having a picnic, the court of public opinion handles these types of social issues far better than the court of law.

I have to admit that meme of that woman was quite funny. On the other hand just the reverse can happen to people as I have experienced in a mix bag of issues pertaining to some local youths. I called police on more than one occasion after watching groups taking it upon themselves to decipher by means of force if minorities would be allowed to frequent their watering holes. (bar) They were deliberately forcing minorities out by use of violence. Which made them all turn on me and try and force me out. The current system in place is by far more able to handle these types of actions even though it has taken them years to get my situation under control. When people are persistent they have a right to be in the wrong they will end up just ganging up on each other with no end in site without some sort of law or court enforcement to bring peace back into out of control situations.
