Soli attack in Bristol out skirts - the fire is spreading.

BRISTOL HIT AND RUN BRIGADE | 11.02.2011 14:51 | Free Spaces | Repression | Social Struggles

We have come to terms with the extent of the damage done to our individual lives, our planet, what could laughably be called the remains of some *community* (now a politicians' poisoned term - we see nothing reflective of what community means to us in this society) by the ravaging of capitalism, the State, social hierarchies of race and gender and our own seeming inability to confront and systematically destroy these entites as they suffocate us. This realisation can too often lead to paralysis or chasing one's own tails in a frenzy of self-righteous *activism* that leaves participants exhausted, the quality of their struggle cheapened, and our enemies unfazed. We have assessed the terrain in which we find ourselves and pledged a trajectory of wild rage despite the spell of tranquility that society attempts to cast, living passion and experimentation despite the inertia and obsession with dead objects this society fetishizes, and real affinity despite the empty shell of social networks and meaningless interaction we are sold as leisure or *community*. Many tools are ours in this lived resistance - but none of these find any context when not held up against a relentless and determined assault on the open prison that unfolds everywhere our enemies tread.

Recently, the international anarchist current suffered a blow as a squatted self-organised space, *Liebig-Strasse 14* in the city of Berlin in the occupied territory claimed by the German State, was evicted by the cops. 35 or more comrades were arrested in the building and 2,500 came to the streets in anger - in the spirit of the finest reflection of our disgust and solidarity being the strengthened continuation of our attack everywhere, the struggle against gentrification and the class and social war that surrounds it (as fought in Berlin) was continued as we visited the Dick Lovett BMW garage out by Cribbs Causeway on Tuesday night. Between 40 and 50 BMW vehicles awaiting sale at the rear of the car showroom had their paintwork ruined, scratched and paintstrippered - done in this way so as not to trigger the car alarms.

We have only one question - Where next?

This action dedicated to Lukas Winkler, Stephanie Träger, Sven Maurer - squatters who fought their eviction in Munich, now imprisoned. Also to all prisoners in struggle - either side of the walls.

What a pointless idiotic gesture.

Damaging things is the easiest job in the world. It requires no thought and no skill. Making things, on the other hand, needs time, care and skill.

So you vandalised some BMWs. Big deal. And to the police, the garage owners, and the general public, you are not going to be seen as class warriors making a political statement, you're going to be seen as a load of plonkers with too much time on their hands.

Great action, keep up the pressure - destruction is creative and we know it takes time, energy and effort fighting against the copper-comments, trolls and pathetic UK activists.

I'm all for smashing shit but pick your targets better next time, these sort of actions do NOTHING.

What a complete moron.

Oh, yeah, destruction is creative. To which, one can only say: complete bollocks.

Destruction requires no thought. Creation involves a conceptual struggle with which you are probably very ignorant. A chimpanzee can destroy; can it create?

BMW is a German company and is a valid target. Standard practice all over the world. Learn.

You don't know FUCK ALL, all you create is SHIT. Keep sniffing the ass of the internet, cops - cowards.

'BMW is a German company and is a valid target. Standard practice all over the world.'

Ah, being German makes it a valid target. Well, I guess Churchill didn't die in vain.

Running around in the dark is cool and shit

>> Ah, being German makes it a valid target. Well, I guess Churchill didn't die in vain.

These articles make me laugh in sad sort of way.
What kind of person actually thinks smashing a BMW is going to directly lead to a better life for them? Idiots

I think they are full of shit - they just like being the tough guy in a balaclava is all. In fact, they would make more of an impact if they used that time to help the elderly. But i guess you do get to run around in the dark pretending to me a ninja whilst masturbating when doing that.

Speaking of Churchill and the war.....

This "action" is the equivilent to out boys going over to germany and smashing up the body work of a few jeeps and then........ claiming that it has helped the war effort!!!!!!!

What a joke. Totally embarrassing to the human species. Even dogs have more intelligence than this.
