Firstly, you need to stop associating "anarchists" with chaotic, nihlistic psychopaths, this is something that has been so thouroghly drilled into the public's consciousness that if someone like me ever actually states my political stance, I'm immediately thought to be somebody who advocates wholesale murder. Take a history lesson and read up on what anarchists really believe, try and contextualise.
Secondly, the RNC Welcoming Committee may have had mole elements. That's hardly surprising, but look at their stated intentions. Nowhere did they say: "let's burn senators cars! let's beat people up!" Their stated goal was to make a mockery of the Republican Party and by extension all representative politics. Is that seriously something that deserves this kind of police action in your mind?
Whatever, you liberals will just go back to sleep as soon as this issue drops off the front page. The thought of actually taking responsibilty for yourself and others is too scary a notion.
