    That’s still common practice and still done by IWW groups afaik. At least in Asheville there are organized black blocs watching for agitators - cops have been known to fuck with them.

    Ideally, nobody shows up looking to start shit, because that’s how legal defense funds run dry.

          I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the cops love to infiltrate groups like that.

          Most of the big terrorist arrests you see happen when some provocateur tricks good hearted people into ‘taking action.’
