Just because every other police force in major metropolitan areas Stand Down doesn’t mean as a reporter you insert yourself into the protesting crowd on the belief that this present police department will also Stand Down. Which they didn’t, and you got a lungful. Congratulations for being a dummy.
By inserting the reporter into the protesting crowd this CNN demonstrated very clearly the position CNN takes regarding these anarchist protests. CNN is aligned with the protesting factions (and has been since occupy and beyond) and is on the side of lawlessness.
“Because civil disobedience involves breaking the law, many philosophers have argued that it needs special justification. However, we can argue that this only applies when we have an obligation to obey the law. If, for example, the state is not legitimate or very unjust, then perhaps we don’t have political obligation” (unknown)
Who or what put it into the vacuum of anarchist thought that the state (government) is not legit?
What I do not grasp is how these anarchists can believe that an election won by the opposing party would be any better? And in all probability, far worse.
I have to follow the premise that anarchists in general, manufacture the reasoning when no reason exists.
