I have a lot of time for the unforgivable situation of Brasil's education system and its professional workforce.

The teachers' situation and street representation had absolutely nothing to do with the parasitically opportunistic street violence of the 'black-bloc anarchists'.

Don't know them, Fido. Never seen inside their masks.

But I was in England when the Tottenham 'black-bloc anarchist' riots were on.
The black hoodies there hid black teenagers, most with prison records and no education. The bottom stratum of society.
Most of those captured were - as you say - middle class goofs who didn't know that you had to hide your face from the cameras, and just thought 'well, if everybody else is taking the TVs, I think I'll have one as well'.
