At large protests—such as Gaza protests, Black Lives Matter protests, Asian American rights protests, and LGBTQ protests—there are sometimes outside anarchist groups that show up and cause disruption.
These individuals may attempt to blend in with the crowd and present themselves as supporters of the cause, but then engage in actions that lead to conflict, including fights, property damage, and efforts to escalate tension.
Reports and arrests from multiple incidents have described individuals involved in protest-related unrest, including during college protests last summer. These incidents included confrontations involving Jewish students, clashes with NYPD officers, and broader disorder during demonstrations.
Some observers and participants allege that similar groups appear repeatedly at different protest events and engage in this type of behavior. In some cases, they are seen as contributing to heightened tensions and situations that escalate into riots, including confrontations with NYPD officers.
Some of these individuals were also present at the January 6 Capitol riot, where they were seen inside the violence and chaos.
These groups also come with their own press that have links to the mainstream news. They play a key role in shaping their narrative.
Over the past several years, I have documented these anarchist groups. I have done my research and gathered what I believe to be evidence. I know who they are.
@RichardGage_911 No problem, my wife is from Myanmar and having visited several times there (though not since 2002) I would consider a building of that height to be something of a novelty for that nation. The building collapsed in the Chatuchak district of Bangkok, north of the business sector.
