Thats how I feel when I saw it on TV
I hope screamy put them in jail for 15 million hundreds years

That's crazy woofy, glad you made it home okay!

I've been thinking about spice and hoping the baby doesn't arrive while all this is going on, as she will have to get to a hospital safely.

Pretty sad state of affairs, all around. The cops I work with - in fact every one of the cops I know - don't want to prevent anyone from protesting peacefully (although many will admit, off the record, to getting really sick of hearing the same chants over and over for hours, LOL).

But, sometimes, some people want to use otherwise peaceful gatherings to break stuff, and then set it on fire.

Damaging property is one thing, but I don't think they take into consideration the fact that vehicle gas tanks can explode when ignited, broken glass can fly around on impact and lodge in people who were uninvolved, and people can get hurt.

It's too bad, really. There are a number of very valid points the protesters are trying to make without torching things (the Falun Dafa, for example, have to be some of the least physically violent protesters I've ever seen, but they're still making their point). Unfortunately, I don't think they will "get heard" because of the idiots who were bent on being s**tdisturbers. Their peaceful protests aren't what will wind up being remembered when people think of the Toronto G20.

Don't worry...they'll just take her to St. Joseph's if things are still stupid. She won't have to fight her way through the crowds.

But Spice, if you're reading this, DON'T TAKE A CAB, CALL EMS and get an ambulance, you hear me??

Haven't seen her on SC for a few days, maybe little screamy has arrived?

Good morning, everyone. I'm back from a mini vacation in the burbs (I live near the "jail", so decided to stay with my folks.

Sounds like everyone is safe & sound (thank heavens!).

OOOH, that would be awesome!!

My sister was cleaning out the closets the other day and I have a bunch of baby clothes for her. So much pink flowery stuff, it's like cute climbed into a bag and threw up.

Hey Andit! I spent the weekend with riots a block from my house! Good times!!

[Tripsplanner]

My kids had fun counting the police 'buses' (TTC bus filled with cops) and cruisers going back and forth Front St. At some point, my son said "Mommy, car very loud. Noisy!"

As for the protesters, what made me really mad was the fact that they destroyed some mom & pop store fronts. It is one thing to make a point against the big corporation, another to destroy small businesses livelihood.

Told hubby, if any of our kids EVER feel so passionately about a cause, we are going to sponsor and ship them off e.g. feel passionate about AIDS/ Poverty? here is a ticket to Africa and you can volunteer there for a year! Seriously, a lot of these kids need to put their money where their mouths are!

[Sunraven]

No baby screamy as yet.

I was wondering how you were doing. I got worried when the nuts started heading east & they put St Mike's in lockdown.

How's your aim? If we get these idiots here again, I'll boil the water & you can dump it on their heads.
