now back from london and watching the news coverage of the g20 protests, which turned ugly a couple of hours ago. what began peacefully with almost 4,000 protestors devolved into banks and storefronts being vandalised, police cars being set on fire, and even molotov cocktails being handed out by the violent anarachist group known as the black bloc. tear gas was just deployed 10 minutes ago at college & university - this marks the first time tear gas has been used in toronto during a protest. the major shopping malls, hospitals and hotels are on lockdown, and public transport has come to a standstill. i understand various groups have legitimate reasons for protesting, but the violence and destruction of property are fucking POINTLESS. i hate seeing my city like this
i was considering meeting some friends downtown tonight, but it'll probably be a better idea to stay on the west end.
in better news, i have 3 lulzy items to share with you!
1)
