I watched the news this week and it showed crazy lunatics that have descended on Vancouver! They are Anarchists that want to destroy our wonderful Capitalist system that has brought us so much prosperity in Canada. They want to destroy personal choice and freedom itself. They are, in fact, focused on destruction. They want to destroy the city and even the country. They want to control you. They are nuts!
Vancouver also had Rioters after the hockey game. (lol)
Have a great weekend.

While I haven't looked that carefully, I haven't seen any evidence it was Anarchists. There was none of the targeting of large corporations, none of the careful planning and stigmatizing and Anarchists aren't known to attack civilians.
I seems you have a very poor understanding of Anarchist philosophy as it is pretty much the exact opposite of what you state.

Rob, what in this cat photo conjured up thoughts of anarchists? Maybe you should get out more.

Enjoy your Weekend. NDP Convention this weekend in Vancouver. There were rioters in Vancouver. The original post is called a joke!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I said, " I watched the news this week and it showed crazy lunatics that have descended on Vancouver! They are .........etc"
(i.e. People would think I am writing about the rioters)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And lastly I said in other news, "Vancouver also had Rioters ....."
(i.e. I implied that the first paragraph was actually referring to the NDP members, not the rioters. That the implication that the NDP is just as destructive.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a joke.
Never mind. It's not good when you have to explain a joke.
Have a nice rest of the weekend.
