Re: Occupy Toronto Protest
Yeah, sure Vlad started it, you just followed along. Honestly, I've heard kids in the back of cars on long road trips behave with more maturity.
Your attitude seems to be that the police should not be trying to infiltrate these groups and prevent the violence that they plan. You do not make any statements condoning the violence; you only condone attempts to prevent it. So thinking like a logical chess player I can see what your position is. You purport that these groups are not violent, that it is always the police who cause them to be violent.
Montebello is the perfect example. The police used some reprehensible tactics on the day but the crowd was not violent, did not plan to be violent and thus the police were left with egg on their face. That's how it works; the police did not and could not and never could make them do it because they were not violent to begin with. Well done protestors I say.
Thanks for reading me my rights about anything I say in public. I think you need to be more concerned about that than I am. For someone who purports to believe in free speech you sure seem quick to suggest I stop speaking in public.
If you're suggesting you might sue me then by all means. If you're planning to use what I say against me later then by all means. I'm not intimidated.
