I heard an interview with one of them earlier, and the guy was like "No man, you got it all wrong. We're only smashing government and big company property, who can afford the damage. Down with big companies! WOOOO!!"

In other words,

"HURRRRRRRR DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! !!!"

If it were up to me, I'd just give Darwin's theory a helping hand and line them up in front of a firing squad.

So basically having little to do with the G20 and making the city use taxpayers' money to clean and fix everything up later. Awesome.

Heres what you guys did not know, at queens park, live right now police are moving to arrest the block bloc people still lurking around. They are arresting people who are members, how do they know? Undercover police officers taking pictures.

Hey gais! Let's like go down to toronto and like smash stuff! It'll be so cool, like we can film it and like be on TV and piss ppl off! YA!

As you can tell... I have very little respect for the violent protesters.

I noticed, lol. It reminds me a lot of the when Fox did a special on /b/ talking about "the internet hacker group known as anonymous".

lol, I was just watching the news, and they seem to be very focused on this one police car on fire on Queen. They're just commenting on what may have happened any time they hear a pop.

"Umm yes, a third pop has just occurred in what appears to be the frontal section of the vehicle. I believe it's most likely a component of the engine, but at this point we cannot be entirely sure. This is unlike the second small explosion which likely occurred in the back region of the vehicle."

I love how they keep saying the engine is popping.

lets get it right people: A CAR HAS 4 AIR-FILLED rubber TIRES which are being exposed to high heat.


But yeah,

Their acting like babies, LITERALLY, when a baby wants something, it kicks and screams,,,,how is this different?

We're up to four police cruisers torched now.

-sigh- Some of those protests were entirely legitimate - a lady explained to a reporter very calmly that she was protesting that Harper's maternal health care plan did not include abortion coverage.

See? I KNOW what she's protesting, whether I agree with it or not (I didn't know abortion wasn't covered) she explained it...you know, with words and non-sharp things.

A bunch of fighter jets just flew over Caledon en route to Toronto (likely).

Fighters? Oh, this'll be good.

Hopefully they can clear it up by dark, or else things will really get out of hand.

I think they are letting people get away with too much.

The violent protests, on the other hand, ... wtf? Being an anarchist is not the way to go if you want to see change in this world.

I was so devastated when I found out they smashed windows of an Urban Outfitters and an American Apparel. :(

LOL i think they'll be alright. To be honest, I'm not all that peeved that UO got vandalized, or any major corporation. What gets me is when they start to trash small family-owned companies.

Seriously curious how fighter jets would have smth to do with protests?

They might be those security fighter jets, the ones that fly with leaders! Just contemplating.

Protester Composition:

- 60% Adults of 20-25 years who enjoy drama and like to stir up shit, without having any idea of what the protest is actually about.
- 30% Individuals who have a vague notion of what the G20 is, and avidly throw around buzzwords like globalization without truly understanding any relevant issues.
- 9% Nut-job conspiracy theorists who support he anti-new world order movement.
- 1% Individuals who are educated enough on the issues at hand to conduct a genuine protest.
** Once part of the protest turns into a riot, the majority of this 1% realizes that any semblance of a message becomes lost in this sort of violence, at which point they promptly return to their homes saddened that they have been grouped together with this facet of humanity.

Solution:

Step 1 - have a justice of the peace read the riot act to the crowd:

"Her Majesty the Queen charges and commands all persons being assembled immediately to disperse and peaceably to depart to their habitations or their lawful business, on pain of being guilty of an offence for which, on conviction, they may be sentenced to an imprisonment for life. God Save the Queen!"

Step 2 - Wait 5 minutes for the 20-25 year old "adults" to wiki the riot act on their cellphones; those of which realize that they have 30 minutes to vacate before the police can jail them for as long as they want.

Step 3 - Observe the 90% (as well as half the 9%) return to their homes.

Step 4 - Let the authorities handle the remaining 4.5% who continue to conduct a violent protest.

Step 5 - Allow everyone the chance to protest again tomorrow.

Step 6 - Repeat steps 1 through 4 if people insist on violence.

Step 7 - Begin to make up for the $1 billion tab you spent on security.

Yea man, it just irks me seeing people breaking sh*t for no reason! And we are the one who would have to pay for all the damages

Makes sense. If I wanted to take a leaders plane down though, it would be from inside.
