More on the G20 Street Party

Rex Murphy, on the new face of Toronto...

A band of black-masked, malicious, and potentially dangerous ne’er-do-wells did their radical best to get a racket going: torched a couple of police cars, did their petty “let’s smash the windows” trick, insulted the police, intimidated spectators, and tried to order the press around.

The world has seen this knob of losers and self-nominated “anarchists” before; they gave themselves the comic-book brand “Black Bloc” long ago, and they have been the noisome tail to the dog of every high order world meeting for well over a decade.

Yeah, I remember this mob from the WTO meeting in Seattle in 1999 when I lived there.

Looks like the mob has grown more violent to match the increasing security.

I'm not happy with the WTO either, but for mostly different reasons than this bunch.
