It stinks when some child of privilege with a fine education and all the advantages suffers from Marxist delusions and actually goes off to impoverished regions of the world and helps make things miserable for innocent families who are trying to live their lives in peace.
No doubt he deluded himself with the illusion that he was "helping" them by siding with violent revolutionaries and power-drunk Marxist thugs.
Probably he had a couple of Che Guevara T-shirts in his backpack, to wear on social occasions.
Sad, but he was not entirely innocent, if this story is correct.
Unfortunately, I think you are right.

No probably about it... checked out Brad Will and found a great deal of info. His email address was bradley@risingup.net and he was a self-described anarchist who was also involved in socialist revolution tactics in Brazil last year, now down in Mexico instigating more of his beloved Marxist revolution. He was also on the anarchist violence watch-list for the NYC GOP convention a few years ago.
"To Will, anarchy means “anti-authoritarian,” “anti-oppression,” “self-rule,” “local control” and, ideally, no government. He contributed a chapter on community gardens to a book on global movements, “We Are Everywhere,” in which he identified himself as an anarchist."
