Morons...all morons...all they did was prove their stupidity. This behaviour never solved anything or sent any type of message. All it did was increase our taxes to cover the costs.

If these issues are so important to all the "Protestors" why aren't they behaving this way (assaulting police officers and property) every day? Why did they wait for the G20 to occure? Do they only have a voice and opinion when they are in large groups?
Very sad.
I feel very sorry for all the small business people taking the brunt of their violence.
All the "Protestors" that are involved with the violence and vandelisim should be arrested, and forced to make restitution, either paying of fines, and repair bills for their behavior, or if they don't have the financial means, then forced to work off their crimes.

Real shame no doubt
Business's like Swiss Chalet, Popeye's Chicken were ransacked, what do they have to do with anything?
2 cop cars torched, tear gas has been deployed
I say we drive down there in the Vette's with signs saying "we love the man"

I'm watching CTV HD News right now ... and I can't believe the people just casually standing around as a Police cruiser burns a few feet away from them ... Not sure how long the gas tank will last before it blows up ... but the onlookers don't look too concerned

What nonsense!!
I agree with you Mark to make them pay!! but that will never happen in this country. It will end up like Mike says... taxs.
I can only imagine the financial impact this will have on the city... companys are being asked to not work around the highways and getting paid millions to do so! I know this because i work for one that will reap the benifits of such stupidity on our government part!

Check this out ... Protesters that have been inciting riots, causing property damage, assaulting people in the downtown, now they want their privacy respected, so they can change clothes, and blend in with the crowd.

Seems to be a small group (100+?) that joined in the larger protest simply to destroy things. If they really believed that they were doing it for a cause then they wouldn't have been dressed all in black with their faces covered. From what I saw it was these people that were causing all the damage and then later changing their clothes before the police showed up.

More violent actions ...
On another clip I saw one of the professional "Protesters" trying to smash a glass door, and an older man stepped in to stop him, then called for help while he restrained him ... then I thought a Police officer came over on a bike ... but he was not arrested, he just ran away from the Officer ... sad how everyone is just standing around, watching / photographing / video taping all these serial "Protesters" ... I'm still not sure what they're protesting! Maybe the store that sold them their bandanas and napsacks raised the prices, or charged them 10 cents for a plastic bag.

Here is video of the T.O. Police car burning ... I went into Fast Forward mode so you can see the progression ... but notice how people are just milling around ... taking pictures ... mean while, a large, potential bomb is burning behind / in front of them ... crazy.

Too many idiots with nothing better to do. When I overnighted in YYZ I used to love going to Popeyes. I mean, if your going to bust up a place why not a McDonald's....?

You folks don't know the half of it, I've been working it for for 9 days straight (behind the scenes), I wish I could tell you how everyone REALLY feels about all this.

Some of them are professional protesters they show up at any and all of them, probably don't even know what they're protesting half the time. They usually don't have jobs in order to be able to get to all the riots...a holes
