We need more people like Jeff Monson! (OWS Inspired)

[Fantastic Anarchist]

Granted, this picture was taken a long time ago, but could you imagine if the OWS protests were filled with anarchist MMA fighters? It would be a sight to behold.

Notice the Black Flag and anti-capitalism tattoos. Hurrah!

From Wikipedia:

Monson is known for his anarchist views and affiliations. In an interview, he explained, "I am an anarchist, someone who would like to do away with all class hierarchy in society and the institutions that promote this inequality." <4> He correspondingly receives sponsorship from AK Press and has several anarchist symbols tattooed on his body. In solidarity, Monson is a member of the Industrial Workers of the World (Wobblies).<5>

Monson has a Bachelor's degree and a Master's Degree in psychology. For a few years he worked as a mental health professional, both in a crisis evaluation role as well as a child/family counselor. He has had such major success in Abu Dhabi and other MMA shows that he left the mental health profession to devote himself full time to mixed martial arts.

1. He's actually a very thoughtful guy.

Any MMA fighter who chooses as his walk-in music, "Imagine" by John Lennon is pretty awesome, IMHO.

3. I believe he is training the police in these pictures, not confronting them.

4. No, he was eventually arrested ...

... for painting an anarchy and peace symbol on the Washington state capitol. Also painted "No poverty, no war."
