G8/G20 Riots

[CanadianGTR]

Black Bloc is a protesting tactic, not a specific group of people.

And the government isn't covering any damages? If it wasn't for the G20, there would be no protests or vandalism.

[CanadianGTR]

Sorry but I think you're way off base here... if it wasn't for radical morons, there would be no vandalism or VIOLENT protests. Peaceful protests happen all of the time at Queen's Park in Toronto and Parliament Hill in Ottawa. You think that because of the G20 summit, people are allowed to be violent?

I think the damages should be spread over the people who wound up arrested for violent/disruptive acts.

[cyberspyder]

Radical morons are everywhere, they chose to act because the G20 summit had alot of media focus and was fairly high-profile. That amount of violence does not occur regularly, well, in the downtown core, so I'd say the event is to blame, and thus, the government has a role in paying for damages. How would the store owners feel if they found out tens of thousands of dollars in merchandise was stolen as well as their store destroyed, and they found out that they're left with the bill?

See both sides of the story....


Media feeds much crap, take both sides w/ a grain of salt.


Some comments in this thread just sounds super sheep-ish "BAAHHHHHH"
