I’m obviously much more “pro-protestor” than Styx (who is a “guns and taxes” type of right-libertarian) but he has a point when he says that as conventional protests have faded more hooligan-types have started to become more prevalent in protest zones. Not that I am particularly worried about it. For 25 years, we’ve had the “quality of life” and “broken windows” model of policing. A little bit of disorder is a welcome change.
