Anarchism for him is like a state of perpetual highschool pranks it would be impossible to achieve if ever there were no police, no government, for then there'd be no authority to flaunt, no benign self-satisfaction at the breaking of inane rules, no tingle of danger because you might get caught.

His friends disrupted a march protesting the Greneda invasion.

"The monitors, you know, had green armbands. So these guys got hold of like green armbands themselves. Heh heh heh, you know. And sent about a thousand of the marchers down the main street, like, you know? Past all the banks and drive up tellers and restaurants and shit. Disrupted everything for more than an hour. It was in the newspapers, man. It was great."

College Anarchists grow up to be small businessmen, with ambitions to be big businessmen. You watch.
