to hippie chick embraces black bloc:

first, cool. thanks for not bad-jacketing anarchists. but a few notes:

"the black bloc, a globally active group..."
well, not quite group. try tactic, used by like-minded individuals and/or collectives.

"known for it's bad publicity and anarcho-pacifist tactics..."
bad publicity, yes (by the mainstream press)
anarcho-pacifist tactics, again not quite. pacifism to some means relinquishing the right to self-defense, which many black bloc'ers do not agree to. i would call the tactics direct action.

when police use tasers and chemical weapons, we need to stick together.

solidarity!
