G8/20 Summit in Toronto, Canada
Been listening/reading about it for a while now. Especially with anti-summit protesters smashing windows and all, especially on squad cars belonging to the Toronto Police force.
I don't know, but this reminds me of Singapore and some of the summits held there all of a sudden.

I can't think of a more ineffective and annoying way to affect policy in this particular instance --- sometimes protesting IS the thing to do, but this just pisses most people off at the wrong target (the protestors).
I have deep issues with the forces underlying G8/G20 but they won't get fixed by these clowns who mostly just ruin life for the wrong people.

^That and the portrial by the mass media will show the protestors as a roitous mob, even if they're well organized and have a well though out complaint!
Like the Chinese curse/sayin goes "May you live in interesting times". Well we are!

I'm surprised nobody is talking about the powers that mcguinty granted the Toronto police during the summit. As I understand it from reading The Star today police can arrest anyone within a certain radius of the summit without them even having seen a crime if the person refuses to produce adequate identification or to submit to a search when requested to do so by police. Apparently somebody has already made a constitutional challenge against the order.

It's always the same story since Seatle: some morons amond the manifesters start to breacks stuff ant to attack the police and the police have to make some mass arrestation because of this...
The real protestors should have understoud now than they will always be some idiots than will mix with them than just want a opportunity to breack stuff and to me mixed with those is a good way to end up arrested.

I have a huge urge to buy a durian and throw it at some of the protesters, but that would be a waste of a durian. Watching on the local news, it seems like there's been arrests made, but generally the police won't be bothering peaceful assembly, I know some of my friends who went down town to just take photos; up close too!
But I agree, there's alot of people hiding inside the crowds of peaceful protesters just to start up shit. They don't realize that the only thing that they're destroying is their message.
