Did they say something not nice to you? How violent of them!
Unwarranted aggression and threats of physical harm are attempts to encumber the decisions of another free agent.
That you defend this behavior as 'enlightened' is telling.
Taking in the growing cues of your proposed social model, it sounds a lot like one where whoever is willing to be the most brutally and preemptively violent wins.
They sabotaged surveillance equipment? Anarchists would never do that!
Well, they attempted to damage it.
What justification is there for causing damage to an object that does not represent immediate physical danger to oneself?
You can't invoke an expectation of privacy when in public.
Evidence?
My testimony.
Do you have contradictory evidence to offer?
I'm sure it all has nothing to do with your stated goals of collaboration with the state, so as to identify them and get them assaulted and kidnapped by your favourite gang.
Show me where I have stated that goal.
People who have caused damages to others should answer for that.
I propose: I get to decide what I believe and you get to decide what you believe. If you get to decide both (not unexpected since you enthusiastically embrace your self-appointed unilateral authority over all human behaviors), I can amuse myself elsewhere while you play this all out.
Do you suggest a society where throwing bricks through windows has no consequences? Should people simply have to endure it and expend their own resources and efforts to repair the damages? What recourse do they have to claim redress?
If you want that society, go build it. Preferably without violently displacing others who have caused you no harm or offense (except in the sense that you believe yourself to be the unilaterally-empowered, personal embodiment of Truth and Justice).
If you insist on imposing that society upon me through violence, let's dance baby.
