Answer 1

Left wing passion often gives rise to heated confrontation and thus is sometimes the precursor to rioting. It has been this way since the origin of the party and was elevated during the anti war protests of the 60's.

Answer 2

There were 8-10,000 people protesting peacefully there and 300 anarchists vanadlizing and breaking glass. People should put things in perspective.
