I am not an anarchist, and have significant political differences with most of those in the anarchist community. While it is possible that some of those involved in the violence may have identified themselves as “anarchists,” this self-identification would say nothing about the majority of those so identified, who have very different values, and who embrace a very different agenda for social change. I have also been very disturbed, however, by the tone of accusation and viciousness directed, without a scrap of credible evidence, at the SubRosa collective and others in the Santa Cruz anarchist community. This mindless destruction is contrary to the spirit of community that many in our town value and cherish, a spirit that is at the heart of Santa Cruz”s identity. I have been following with some alarm the news and especially the public comments in the Sentinel and elsewhere following the May 1 vandalism in downtown Santa Cruz.
