Anarchists claim responsibility for Seattle bank vandalism
SEATTLE (AP) — Police are looking at a website where anarchists say they are responsible for breaking windows at a Chase bank branch in Seattle.
Spokesman Mark Jamieson say investigators are following any lead to catch the people responsible for tens of thousands of dollars in damage Thursday night in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
Witnesses reported four-to-six people, all dressed in black with hoods and masks, smashed bank windows with a hammer.
An anonymous posting Friday on the website pugetsoundanarchists shows photos of the broken glass and says, “This action was taken because banks are a clear symbol of the misery and slavery that we experience under capitalism.”

Hmm. The “the misery and slavery that we experience under capitalism,” eh? Makes you play dress-up and destroy other peoples’ property, does it? Gutless punks. And I guess if you are “real” anarchists, you won’t have much of a problem with me blowing your heads off if you try that trick with MY property, will you? After all, anarchy cuts both ways.

If this is misery and slavery, I’ll take it. Doesn’t feel so bad;)
I know how much those windows cost….seriously expensive…some at $6 k per pane. Hope they catch those people…people?

Haha, that’s not the work of Anarchists. Little kids have been throwing rocks at windows for years.

Thank God they weren’t Nihilists, ‘cause when those folk start giving a damn, we’re all doomed.

I always get a kick out of the anarchist. They are not smart enough to know they are Marxist. It would be fun to see them go a month without the benefits of our capitalist system. No toilet paper, no computers, no soft drinks, no McDonald’s, no schools, no fresh water, sewer, streets, hospitals, plastic shoes from China, black clothing from Haiti, no VW’s or Chinese built bikes.
Even their hammers were probably made by a capitalist in Communist China. Off loaded by a Marxist lead union that is ripping off everyone. First let’s go to The Evergreen State College and force the women to shave their legs and armpits. Then we head for Eugene and Madison hotbeds of domestic terrorists.

“anarchist”….isn’t that an ancient Greek word for “stupid loser”?
