Entry FeedFirst off, media coverage sucked. Especially Cable Pulse 24, or whatever that station is called. When I watch hours, yet hear not a single mention of the actual G20 Summit or see a single protester even mentioning issues, it is not successful coverage. Add to that they aired cell calls from people in the crowds claiming not to be protesters but just observers - give me a break! I finally shut it off when they interviewed people coming out the detention using the "f" word... not news.
I was not stupid enough to head downtown to "experience" what was going on. Really people? Are you kidding me?
Those terrorists who made it their plan to use this weekend as an opportunity to vandalize - shame on you!
I think that the security forces acted with amazing restraint. For the record, each and every one of those police officers would rather not have been there for the protests, and they were all falling their orders and their extensive training.
Should Torontonians and visitors be able to walk around the city any time any where? Yes, except when we have leaders from almost 40 countries around the world and a bunch of bandits aggressively trying to promote mayhem and anarchy, attacking businesses and police officers. Then any sane person can stay home and avoid the crap for 24 hours, can't they?
Thank goodness the G20 is over. Thank you to all of those police officers, from forces across Canada, who gave up their weekend to come to our city and deal with the a$$holes.
