Black Block Background

Really, really pissed at the Black Block people. There aren’t many of them, probably less than a hundred, but they’ve done huge damage to the people protesting peacefully. Which is most of them.

Even worse is that now the police are getting trigger happy. I’ve heard reports of them firing rubber bullets at the protestors. Also there have been reports of community organizers being arrested. The reasons for the arrests, from what I have gathered is ‘just in case’.

The media has played a huge and damaging role in this by concentrating on the Black Block which makes it look like every protestor is there to engage in violence.

I was with some friends downtown (I live in Toronto) last night and we saw one small group of protestors. They were singing ‘O Canada’.

I feel the same way about the Black Block that many conservatives feel about The Tea Party. Thanks for making all of us look like wingnuts.
