    King and Bay. Cops have been remarkably restrained so far. But I'd let them smash a few heads of The Black Bloc who started all this violence.Smashing a Starbucks window is so lame

    Time to break out the water cannons and lock these fuckers up and throw away the key.

    I hate this...it attracts a special kind of idiot, and not just the politicians.

    And they attacked a CBC van and were throwing bricks at a CBC reporter and cameraman at Queen & University. T

    he funniest coverage is on CP24 where Anne Rohmer is peering out from about the ninth floor window with the camera guy shooting over her shoulder.

    It turns around the opinions of those, like myself, who thought it was insane to spend a billion on security and invoke draconian laws.

    Now I say the police should turn the water cannons on these fucking bastards and then start ramping it up from there.

    What are they protesting and who are they?

    Mayor David Miller has announced that people should "stay calm. There is significant police presence downtown."

    They're protesting ... evil corporate government? Who the fuck knows? It's what they do on a Saturday afternoon. They're 21st century dirty hippies and wackjob radical environmentalists who think all corporations are evil because they got fired for peeing in the sink at Starbucks. Getting hit with a water cannon will probably be the first bath they've had in six months.

    This is also the most ambition the majority of them will have shown in probably the same amount of time.

    CP24 keeps calling these people "anarchists" which is fucking ludicrous. They're thugs, simple as that. Anarchists don't wear Oakley's and Ralph Lauren polo shirts like one fucking moron I saw holllering at a cop on CBC Newsworld.

    The cops are being too patient and restrained. For a billion dollars, I want a thug-comprised body count, dammit.

    That's always been my question about these G20 protesters. What the hell are they protesting? In my opinion they're just anarchists who enjoy wrecking stuff for shits and grins and don't really have a cause. I mean, what the fuck is the point in attacking a CBC van?
