Poor John Zerzan (Letters, 6-4). There was no riot Sunday. No battle with police, not even any destruction of property. He is so disappointed!
Anarchists and Nazis alike have been fighting to co-opt the Black Lives Matter movement. They fight to turn peaceful demonstrations into violent actions in order to promote their own “white” agendas. They destroy property and provoke police, then run away leaving others to face the consequences of their actions. Cowardice is not activism. There are bad people on both sides. And most of them don’t give a damn about BLM.
If Zerzan really wants a riot, I suggest he have his own. He could invite Nazis and anarchists over to his place. They could fight, smash and hate up a storm. Then they could burn his house down. After all, to paraphrase Mr. Z:
If life is sacred, property must be destroyed.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
