Anyone else here go to the G20 Summit rally in TO? I was there from the start on Saturday and thankfully left just as the cop cars were being destroyed. A few peaceful pics below:

I wonder why people protest G20, of which they can't change much and don't for things like the HST which will impact them directly?

My personal opinion is that while I'm sure these people believe in their causes, I just wonder how many of them actually "practice what they preach" when it comes to concrete actions.

If you're a vegetarian say and yet you wear leather shoes, congratulations, your credbility is now zero

and as for the yahoos who get off on smashing stuff? Guess what? You clowns are a walking ad for "police action" during these events.

I thought the cops did well.. people complained they didn't do enough on Saturday, and that they did too much on Sunday... they listened to the people and still get criticized for it.

Regardless, i don't feel sorry for anyone who got arrested, and if people want to effect change, they may want to try voting or organizing some proper lobby groups.

A protest/riot is not the proper way to make an impact. It is how people die and how our hard earned money gets wasted.
