American Samizdat

Friday, April 25, 2003. *
Willamette Weekly has a long story on how Portland IndyMedia has been taken over by "a radical clique."
Less than an hour after the "See you on the streets" threat was posted anonymously, a response came from "Jed Duncan," who called the threat-maker a "wingnut" and a possible police provocateur.


The response, with its anti-violence message, soon disappeared--apparently removed by someone operating the website.


Only the threat remained.


I see this sort of thing frequently in the Pacific Northwest: small groups of black Carhart clad violent anarchists drowning out all other messages and generally giving activism a bad name. Does this sort of thing happen elsewhere? Any Harbingers from Portland out there care to comment?
