Don't get me wrong, I like the atmosphere Ultras can bring to a stadium in general and I'm not opposed to pyroshows as well, but the problem with these guys is that they embrace violence as an outlet for anger and as a political tool. The sheer existence of ultra groups is more and more based on differentiation from others than it is on identification with the club they support which inevitably leads to violent outbursts. One could write these off as isolated cases and criminals within these groups, yet the groups never dissociate themselves from violence in general or from violent members. They either choose to ignore it or show perverse delight, as evidenced by the display of 'Gracias Liverpool' banners by Boixos Nois after the Heysel disaster.
The most problematic thing about the Boixos apart from the occasional violent outbursts is the clear shift to a fascist political stance as a group around the middle of the eighties when the traditional left-wing ultra scene was more or less undercut, occasional roman salutes in the stadium or the repeated adressing of Lluis Bassat as a 'fucking jew' included. Which is kinda baffling when you think about it since these guys seem to believe that fascism and catalan independence go together, leading to strange scenes where you can see them flying senyera flags with an embedded swastika on it. Makes even less sense in the context of Spain's overall political past and the immediate repercussions fascist Spain had on the region of Catalonia and the club as well.
What's worse, our former president Nunez saw this development yet decided to to nothing because he saw that he can use these people for his own political ambitions; when the Boixos were still in large part left-wingers they repeatedly demanded his resignation so he welcomed the development. Gaspart as well, going so far as to identify with them.
As for finding different solutions and somehow working with these groups, DFB in Germany tried and had mixed success with german ultra groups. But in the case of the Boixis, that ship has sailed when they put out death threats towards Laporta at the very latest.
