That’s a huge accusation. I’m sure there are hooligans and anarchists who just want to fuck shit up, and will create chaos whenever a protest comes up.

But in that case, the protesters would unequivocally denounce the violence, not embrace or partake in it.

It’s easy to pass the blame, but it’s even easier to call out anti-protesters and to separate them from your cause.

Its only easy to call out anti-protesters if you’re well organized. When police attack peaceful protesters and launch tear gas into peaceful crowds, to force dispersion, people panic and act unpredictably.
