Macleans Magazine: Just be glad we didn't shoot the G20 protesters, because they deserved it

Macleans Magazine has stepped to the forefront of the revival of vile right wing boot stomping that seems to be more and more popular since Harper has released them from under the rock where they'd been hiding.

It starts subtle:

Lock them up: Why the G20 thugs don’t deserve any leniency...

What took place on the streets of Toronto was indeed a serious situation, yet anxiety over the behaviour of police is wildly overdone. Those responsible for the damage should be the focus of society’s anger. Only the professionalism and preparedness of police prevented circumstances from being much worse. Rather than an inquiry, we need further police effort to ensure every one of those lawless thugs is brought to justice.


In case you are in doubt:

Legitimate protest acknowledges the existence of state authority while providing a different point of view.

Just don't state that point of view and all will be peachy...for us.

Btw, the author of this piece of puffed up vitriol don't have the courage to step forward. Actions speak louder than words.
