South Korea provides something to learn from
The government cut financial aid to non-profit organizations by half this year. Civic groups hosting or participating in illegal violent demonstrations will have their aid scrapped, and the government has asked the National Police Agency for background checks.It took a while for them to do it, but I suppose better late than never. A few years ago, the Roh government provided funding for extremist groups that performed violent demonstrations against US installations. The president of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions went to jail for organizing violent demonstrations and strikes.
But aside from that, other countries should be learning from this, and cutting off any kind of funding to groups that engage in violent demonstrations, like those Islamofascists who went on a violent spree in London, throwing construction cones at police officers (who were too few to be effective), and even smashing windows of cafes. This is assuming that the UK, for example, is providing any funding for such groups, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were.
