What started as a peaceful protest at Queen’s Park, with about 10,000 participants, became a riot as a small group of violent troublemakers smashed windows, set cop cars ablaze and confronted the police. The anti-G20 activists stormed through Queen West and the financial district this afternoon, before heading north toward Yonge and College. We were there, capturing every step of the evolution from protest to violence.

That is one crazy ass slideshow. Like a movie, youknow?
FASHION CRIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ART WILL BE AVENGED – cooooooooooooly, with a smile on it’s lips and saying THANK YOU all the way!
Crazy happening in good old TO. We are so naive and think we are immune to these stuff, get real TO. Overall, the cops let us down on saturday – they all focused on the convention centre and it shows the over $1bil was only for the convention centre but not to safe guard the rest of TO. Are you telling me the cops would not think Queen Street & Yonge would be a target ? Come on!
When did it become acceptable to suspend the rights and freedoms of Canadians just because there are world leaders in town? You can be arrested (without cause, and held until they get around to putting you before a judge) for “suspicion” of being a terriost.
This is 100% BULL SHIT! I support the system, but not when they take away the rights of people who are citizens for this country. I will be in Toronto this week to do my own protesting.
Anyone who does not know their history is condemned to repeat it (Germany circa. 1918). That’s what Canada is turning into. Stand up for your rights, call your elected officials and DEMAND an answer.
In the aftermath rights of the 1997 APEC summit in Vancouver, a Canadian judge concluded that protesters have the right to be seen and heard, which means that visiting leaders cannot be shielded from lawful protests. Canadian officials have determined that this means arrangements must be made so that protesters will be visible to those participating in the summit. In a 2007 summit which brought together the Canadian Prime Minister and the presidents of Mexico and the United States, security organizers restricted demonstrators to a forest clearing more than a kilometer away, while using a video feed to beam images of the protests to a large monitor where the leaders could watch if they wanted. In response to questioning about demonstrations and protesters, a spokesman for the authorities explained, “It remains our view that what they don’t have the right to do is to preclude leaders from meeting. We will take the steps necessary to ensure that leaders can meet and that protesters will have an opportunity to protest.
As a Canadian now living in the US I was ashamed to see what transpired during the G20 and left Toronto before the summit leaders landed. Jeeves, how dare you talk about the police suspending the violent protester’s rights! Since when does the right to assemble or protest extend to the right to vandalize private or public property? (BTW: Had this been Germany or Russia circa 1918, the violent protesters would have been mowed down where they stood, so we have come a long way…) What about the rights of hard-working Toronto taxpayers to enjoy their city without having a police car set on fire on the street beside them? What about the rights of a shop owner to not have his windows shattered by a bunch of thugs? What about the money that was wasted that could have gone to better use than to expand and fortify the police force? Do any of you honestly think that the world leaders give a flying fig whether or not you protest or about the issues you are so desperately trying to garner attention to? The only way to solve any problem to to fix it from within: be part of the political process, become an executive at a world bank, become a respected journalist and expose the wrongs you are so quick to protest about. And in case you haven’t figured it out yet the quickest way to end poverty is to educate women and provide them with birth control. Poverty in the First World in 2010 is often self-inflicted, in the Third World it’s a way of life…
Fully agree with Ramakrishnan. You really have to woendr about the sanity of people who leave a more principled party like PAS, DAP or PKR to join UMNO! UMNO has higher principles? Since when? Doesn’t make sense thus proving its all a sandiwara as…
Dead pent subject material, Really enjoyed looking through.
Previous global summit protests have turned violent. In 1999, 50,000
protesters shut down World Trade Organization sessions in Seattle. bankruptcy discharge
