Bunch of retards.
gotta love the shit disturber and mob mentality eh?
i find it ironic that these protesters are supposedly fighting for people's rights, yet they trample on other people's rights in order to do so (like, disrupting other people's lives and destroying people's property)
yeah I know it's only the fringe that's doing this. brave people. hiding behind masks and stuff to hide their face, like they are ashamed of what they are doing
I don't think anyone was NOT a fucktard today
I'm so upset by what I saw on Yonge street today - the stores are in shambles... whoever didn't board up their windows, has no windows left
what is their beef with Starbucks?! every Starbucks was brutalized..
Espanade was under a 2 hour long lockdown while we were eating @ The Old Spaghetti Factory, FINALLY some arrests were done there!
I have not seen one organized protest group today - a bunch of hippies bad mouthing the cops, hipsters being all liiiiiiike omg the cops are like so fucking bad, bunch of Queen west weirdos and lots and lots of people like us - just walking around and checking this madness out
cops were peaceful for the most part from what we saw, no violence or aggressiveness

I'm guessing the fact that Starbucks is a Corporate Giant is what made them a target....

If you try to convince me Timmy's puddle water is better than any Starbucks brew, we're not friends anymore.

Unfortunately a sure sign of success is when you have a lot of haters.

Have you been following the news and the video's? they def do not look peaceful AT ALL. They are arresting people for standing and sitting around. This is our streets and we have every damn right to be there.

women's suffrage, civil rights, gay rights..thank God no one told these people to shut their mouths and put down their signs..
most of us enjoy rights and liberties that came as a direct result of protest...maybe if people listened to the issues rather than falling into the trap of letting the government and media drown them out with this sensationalism..we'd be a little more empowered..
I agree, protesting is effective WHEN it is regarding a specific issue....those picture depict people fighting for a certain right of a given population....Women's rights, Black rights, Gay rights....etc...
The problem here is that there is not clear message given by the "black bloc"....what are they protesting against? Capitalism? Corportations? No one knows for sure...thus their message is clearly not getting across and they are simply labelled as "anarchists" with no clear cause...
