I cried when I saw the riots in Toronto. I grew up, studied there, had my first real job there working at the U of T Bookstore (my then boss was Don McIvor brother of Rick McIvor who now running for Mayor of Calgary) & fell in love there. I was horrified to see the city burning.
The gutless criminals complained their civil liberties were crushed.’
“I’m going to post this on Youtube!” one man shouted commenting on police retaliation and alleging brutality.
I say “What about the civil liberties of the people they violated and vandalized?”
What about the lives they forever changed?
The police that were injured doing their job protecting the public have civil liberties!
The families of the police men and women have civil liberties! Who BTW rely on their partners to be able bodied to earn a living? Who love them and want them to come home safe to their families!
The people who live in the core have rights! I’m sure they are not impressed that their streets are bloodstained, littered in glass and garbage or that their storefronts damaged. Maybe they did not want to watch cop cars being burned or objects being hurled at police in full riot gear?
What about the rights of the children who had to witness violence in the streets of their usually quiet neighbourhood?
What about the civil liberty of the Starbucks store owner? Of the people who liked going there for their morning coffee?
Are the faceless protesters going to pay to clean up the mess they created? They should be made to. Like little children being disciplined they might think twice before the wreck something else somewhere else.
How can the bad ass mob at G20 honestly say they are protesting in the name of human rights? Protesting to save the world? To protect the poor? To save the world economy? What have they accomplished? It seems contradictory when they are ruining the environment Torontonians live in, making the poor even more displaced & costing the country millions in clean up?
So they are wwreckless and stupid.
Rex Murphy is not my favourite commentator. He is an elitist. But last night his diatribe on The National was spot on. Rex is right “throw them all in jail!” “This is not my Toronto!” I would add “Take away their passports” so they cannot attend any more rallies.
How many of these thugs were imports who crossed the US border & nut jobs who travelled across the country just to say they participated? Remember the young, dazed looking, skinny guy who came from Saskatchewan in a beat up white car with a small arsenal of weapons? What did he hope to accomplish?
If the civil liberties of the protesters were violated-they needed to be.
Police reportedly had to use “ two “muzzle blasts” of gas and powder to break up a demonstration by about 200 protesters gathered outside a temporary G20 detention centre in the city’s east end where those previously arrested were being held. “
Wake up you idiots. You broke the law. You endangered the lives of oridnary citizens.What did you expect to happen? Of course you will be arrested!
You are cowards! Masked “thugs” as PM Harper called you & not normal protesters with a real cause & a moral fibre to go along with it. You are hooligans without a conscience- political or otherwise.
A little respect please!
God bless Toronto and the people who live there!
