[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77202356, member: 123415"] Correct...and it seems like (and perhaps it's just the "exuberance of youth") there's a demand of ideological/moral purity from everyone else, but they often haven't considered their own impact on things. ...and their attempts at property destruction aside, given that they seem to be picking completely random venues to do this stuff (ones that seemingly don't have any correlation to the issue they're trying to advocate for), I wonder if they're "selectively" picking venues that they see as low risk for themselves. On the scale of 1-10 for "how likely am I to get beat up by other people there if I pick this place randomly and start trying to destroy stuff and calling people fascists?" -- art galleries and low-key sports like billiards would have to rank pretty low on the list. It's sort of reminiscent of the approach some of the animal rights activists take when they do their "megaphone in a restaurant" routine. They never pick places like a biker bar or some rough and tumble tavern. They always pick some more upscale sort of place where it's not really the "fighting" type of crowd. [/QUOTE]
