Yankee anarchists Strike Again - Coin-Operated Parking Meters Bite the Dust!
Jun 5 2007
Just when you thought revolutionary struggle was dead, just when you dispaired of anything ever changing, just when you thought nobody had the bollocks to stand up and just say NO to the status quo...

Early this morning, warriors of the Red & Anarchist Action Network (RAAN) used an industrial bonding agent to sabotage and disable over 150 coin-operated parking meters in downtown Lexington, Kentucky.[...]FOR SOCIAL EQUALITY THROUGH SOCIAL UNREST! UP THE NIHILISTIC ATTACK ON SOCIAL ORDER!
You stick it to the man! With revolutionaries like that, what need have we of stupid anti-social vandals? This is like the Yippies or some shit, all over again. Do they get some kind of a kick out of gluing up parking meters or something? That's the funniest thing I've seen in a while - and they wonder why nobody takes anarchists seriously? Hahaha...
University kids and dropout poseurs of the world unite, you have nothing to loose but you pocketmoney from home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That we have provided an unexpected dose of free parking to this city is not to say that we are in favor of car culture, which turns our environment into a dangerous and unfriendly space by removing us from it - or that we want to people to have an easier time commuting to their awful jobs, though we do earnestly hope that our actions have brightened someone's Friday. No, we are always looking towards a world where both coins and commuting are irrelevant. We wished only to demonstrate how easily and instantaneously the militance and ingenuity of those who struggle can alter those same oppressive situations we take for granted day after day.
Optimistic lot, aren't they? 
Still, if it really results in a few people getting free parking, it's not exactly a disaster. If all it achieves is pissing people off when they just want to park their car, on the other hand, it's pretty fucking stupid.
It's not even worth commenting on their politics.

i have the same kind of issue with critical mass. what they achieve, essentially, is further stressing already stressed workers as they try to get home on a friday. i'd call that counter-productive.
