Anyone visiting Toronto?

Heavily armed riot police are attempting to clear crowds out of downtown Toronto, several hours after black-clad vandals raged through the city in protest of the G20 summit.

In the heart of the city, four police cars have been torched and officers have used tear gas. There are reports that police fired rubber bullets to disperse the crowds, which Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair could not confirm.

Before midnight, about 200 protesters gathered at the Novotel hotel close to the lakeshore. Many sat on the ground, holding signs, as riot police moved in and made arrests.

As midnight approached, at least 150 arrests had been made and officials said that number could rise overnight.

A concert at the Air Canada Centre has been cancelled, hospitals in the downtown core have been locked down and the Eaton Centre was also closed.

Fucking goons. I would bet that the vast majority of them don't even know what they hell they're protesting.

Yeah, its typical of international meetings.

Get a job, losers.

This seems to happen every time. What city would ever want to host this? Can the revenue generated be worth the destruction and potential loss of life?

Looks like they were protesting gawdy police cruiser paint jobs. The Mounted Moose Patrol will put these guys in their place.

Guys...If you marshal all your powers of concentration, you can see Toronto's CN tower in the background of this picture.
