Bikes for Bombs are not the Black Bloc

There were reports of black bloc protestors marching tonight. Fires were set in trash cans on Market St. and of course there followed the naturally ensuing attention from police forces.

Cyclists were pulled from their bikes by violence from the SFPD. Violence begets violence. The peaceful bike protest this afternoon has no affiliation with the violent wannabe trust-baby anarchists from the black bloc. I speak as an individual. But I also speak with 7 years of peaceful use of bicycles as a form of protest and I don't appreciate the people from the black bloc involving newbies who might happen to be riding down Market Street on bikes in bullshit with the cops. We'll see how this sorts out. But keep your fucking molotovs away from us or you will learn to fear the krypto, and not because it's beating on you. We ride with no masks and no fear. Remember Ghandi and MLK had a long lasting and powerful effect partly because of the methods they used. If you want the masses to accept anarchy you'd better explain it a little better than by burning shit up and smashing windows.

And hey- lighten up and try taking off the damn black bandannas. They're so fucking serious. Try a clown mask for fucks sake. You might get more people on your side. You could be very useful if you could actually work with other people who actually espouse peace.
