G-20 Protesters
"We will have children in our militant march." This is the amazing statement made by march organizers in Toronto. Each year there are violent protests of the G-20 meeting by anarchists, communists, Marxists and even some malcontents. An area has been set aside for demonstrations and another area has been set aside as a secure zone. Not content to stay only at the demonstration zone, a march is planned to leave that zone and go toward the secure zone. This is an unauthorized march and could become violent as it has in the past.
March organizers are attempting to set "rules of engagement" that will allow them to possibly get into the secure zone. It will be interesting to see if the Canadian police buy into the "take it easy on us because we will have children with us" ploy. The American military bought it in Afghanistan, how about the Canadians?

The Canadians spent one billion dollars on security for this conference. They did not kill any of the protesters but did arrest six hundred people. Police cars were burned, store windows were broken, articles were thrown at the police as illegal marchers tried to get to the security zone. All in all it played out just as it does every year. I am reminded of the other yearly time for high jinks - the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.
