Devil’s night is traditionally a time of mischief and subversive activity, striking fear into the forces of order. On this night, the weekend before Halloween, we took the form of mischievous creatures and decided to haunt the Upper Westmount mansion of the real estate boss Stephen Shiller. Stephen is one half of Shiller Lavy, and his son Brandon Shiller runs Hillpark Capital. These firms are responsible for renovicting and pricing out many tenants in the Montreal area in the past decade, putting hundreds of people out on the street.

“We are not slaves, we are dynamite. We are explosive beings with unpredictable reactions.”

On Mischief Night, October 30th, we learned of a concentrated police presence in southeast Portland in anticipation of a gathering at Colonel Summers Park. With Portland Police focused on this small area, we seized the opportunity to attack elsewhere. Gentrifying capitalists in different parts of town faced the force of our rage and mischief. Not a single cop was seen there.

TOTW: Spooky Scary Anarchists!

Awww, look at these cuties! You get all the candy you want! <3

Trick or treat?

While some people roam the streets, going door-to-door merrily busking for candy, anarchists take to the streets to do direct action. For some, direct action means patching potholes, for others, it means littering. Is being an anarchist about being the house that gives the best candy? Or is it about who TPs the house that gives the best candy or who makes the best prank? Would you rather be feared or be loved? To be remembered fondly, or to live in infamy? Why not both?
