This is a depressing measure of how much a movement is going to have to re-invent the wheel. Relying on small self-selected groups to deal with this is an invitation to all sorts of trouble. As a general rule, organizers need to marshal their demonstrations. When there's a disruption to distract from the focus of the march, the disrupters are invited to remove themselves and, failing that, they are removed by any means that will best minimize the distraction they intend to cause. We had this problem locally back when Occupy exploded on the scene and nobody knew how to deal it when small clusters of tea party types came in and began chanting batshit crazy slogans. Of course, the essentially Democratic engineers of the enterprise (and the architects of its destruction) did just the opposite of what they needed to do. Cheers!
