The G20 Summit has invaded Toronto and along with all the dignitaries and world leaders that have arrived, a whole slew of protesters managed to get themselves here as well. Today, they decided was a good day for a protest and so far they've managed to set fire to at least two police vehicles, I believe two other cars and have smashed in the front windows of stores along Queen Street West.
There is a Gap, HMV and a few other 'chain' stores but the rest of the street houses individually owned boutiques, restaurants and what about the Silver Snail? Gee, I hope the gorilla is alright.
Why? Why are these people doing this? I'm all for people having their own opinions - we're allowed to have them - but there are right ways of doing things. I don't know what you were protesting. Whatever it was, was overshadowed by all the violence. Maybe someone would have agreed with you but you brought things that would cause explosions and preventing people that need to get around/home from arriving at their destination.
If you can't get your point across in a way that doesn't interfere with a person's way of life then stay home.
