This is a normal post stupid protesters
they hold the G20 and G8 summit to try and help unfuck things, so why do some people insist making things as difficult for them as possible?

I read on the BBC news site that canada budgeted 970 million US dollars for the security for this event. Im sure the protesters realise the irony that their prescence is causing so much government money wastage.

Im not really the protesting type - i just sit here and get on with things, so maybe i cant see the appeal of all this 'i have free speech, so i will become an ass' mentality.

I understand the rozzers made the move here, but looking at a gallery on the beeb site, some of the protesters were burning cop cars and smashing shit up - hence my initial whinge.

This is a normal post When 80%+ of all the money and resources in the world are NOT owned and controlled by just 1%
Then maybe you might have a point, but they are NOT trying to unfuck things far from it, they are just making a tiny minoirty even more obscenely rich.

If they were a force for good in the world they wouldn't need to spend 970 million dollars protecting themselves.

Wake up sheeple ( whats the singular for sheeple?)!

If they want to change things they should become politicians, and/or they could use the fact that they have 99% of the vote.
If they didn't spend that much on security they couldn't be in a secure environment discussing how to un-fuck things and reduce deficits.

This is a normal post And we spent money to make a fake lake downtown for press conferences for media who weren't invited to cottage country

But as to the video, why are citizens being attacked by riot police for singing our national anthem?

O Canada, glorious and free?

This is a normal post Not sure they about the attack part,
Note how they start shouting and banging their riot shields to intimidate them, so that they would move away. I'm not sure why they weren't allowed to sit down but it wasn't an attack.

This is a normal post Fine then, "dispersed"
but it's not clear from the clip what they were doing to deserve it.
