Shopper freaks out as Eaton Centre closes during G20 protests

No doubt about it, the G20 inconvenienced a lot of people. Subways closed, roads were blocked, store windows were smashed, and shops had to be closed. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who wasn’t ticked off this weekend, but none (save for the black bloc rioters perhaps) seemed as mad as this guy. Demanding to get into the Eaton Centre, he screams at security guards, asking, “Why, why, why are you closed?” He goes on for minutes, but our favourite moment comes when he hollers in vain, “We are the Toronto public! We want to shop!” Strange, we always try to get out of the Eaton Centre as quickly as possible.
