I don't think it's over yet...

[dewline]

...though things in Centretown and the Parliamentary Precinct seem to have gone quiet enough for the night.

We've had at least one reporter ducking beer-can tosses. (A reporter I actually got to say "hello" to once.)

We've had a helicopter violating federal no-fly zones. (Whose pilot ought to be losing their license and soon, over this.)

We've had Confederate, Trumpist and Nazi flags carried by "protestors" alongside the Gadsden flag in the core.

We've had people jumping up and down on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

We've had the statue of Terry Fox on Wellington Street repeatedly desecrated today.

We've had His Trumpness endorsing those bad actors at his latest Nuremberg Stunt tonight.

I've had enough.

I had to pass within breathing distance of several people who looked very much like they were lining up at Blair Station to board the O-Train to join the "fun" downtown, and I was not able to keep my cool about it. Fortunately, we all had other places to be and quickly. (I'm hearing that the Confederation Line was having issues again today, so they might not have gotten there.)

This has not been the best day, despite my staying clear of the epicentre of the mess.

I'm glad you're staying clear. I saw some videos of people being assaulted by these fash.

I think there's video of the beer-can toss aimed at Evan Solomon.

I also saw footage of them harassing a hotel manager who didn't want them using the bathroom without a mask (apparently they later came back and assaulted him) and taking over a Tim Horton's. A friend of mine there reported that the went into a Good Samaritan and stole food that was supposed to be for homeless people. Now they are barraging her mentions because she posted the Confederate flag picture.

I've seen the hotel lobby footage you refer to. Horrible.

Same for the rest of it.

I also need people to understand that not wearing a mask and then going into an unventilated space and shouting at a minimum wage worker who has no sick days is actually violence and anyone who does this needs to be charged with attempted murder.
