Very good and detailed post: http://garizo.blogspot.com/2008/12/neo-fascists-side-by-side-with-police.html

I remember reading in the mainstream media 'citizens went out on the streets in order to protect their homes and property from the vandalisms'. Two questions:

- Do the mainstream media represent provokators and plain clothes policemen and fascists as the 'citizens'?

- Even if citizens indeed went out on the streets with this intention of protecting their homes from anarchists and provokators alike, doesn't it prove that the trained and armed police have not been doing the job unarmed civilians were doing? Because they did not even bother to pretend they are preventing material damages to keep up appearances, but clearly focussed on instigating conflicts in order to 'prove' that the outraged demonstrators are brainless vandals and tear apart the public opinion?
