G20 Madness

[lapis669]

Toronto, the city I live in and love has erupted into insanity. Friends are arguing over what's going on, Queen Street, one of my favourite old places to hang out has been torched and smashed...all of the peaceful protesters are pointing fingers at the anarchists and the anarchists are just shrugging. The cops are legion

Much the same was said and felt in 1988 during the G7 conference in Toronto. Same blockages, violent protests, military in the streets and helicopter gunships in the air... nobody remembers, nobody learns.

And it feels like it will all end up being for nothing, which makes it all the more tragic and horrific.
Right now there's scores of police up the street from my house in riot gear....
