TORONTO - Police have arrested four people after witnesses saw them emerge from a manhole near the G20 summit security zone early this morning.
A spokeswoman for the Integrated Security Unit said the safety of international leaders at the summit was never at risk.
But workers are welding shut more manhole covers that lead to "underground infrastructure" as a precaution.
Details of the charges against the four are not yet available.
City crews and police are checking the underground system of sewers and access tunnels but police maintain there is no danger.
Infiltrating the sewer system is a popular tactic by anarchists, and crews welded shut manhole covers in the summit district in the weeks leading up to the G20.
It is not known how the four got into a manhole that should have been sealed. They were seen emerging from the hole in the downtown Richmond and Bay street area and arrested around 2:30 a.m.
"I don't know what they were doing down there," said Jillian Van Acker, a spokeswoman for the ISU.
"I guess they would be able to tell you that."
While Van Acker said she had no specific information whether any weapons or incendiary devices where found, she said that "at no time was there a risk to the safety of summit participants."
Police are continuing to arrest demonstrators who rioted in the city for several hours Saturday.
Toronto's police chief called it the most violent outburst in Toronto's history.[/quote]

good idea that stopped the russian protests 90 years ago right

That's gonna be a pain in the ass getting those open again.
I fucking hate Anarchists. They have absolutely no motive, they just want to make people's lives worse.

The violence at this thing is total bullshit.
I wonder what these "protesters" would answer if you asked them why they were doing this...
G20 Always attracts the loonies, conspiracy nuts, anarchists and hippies.
Nothing to see here mentlegen.
Also this made me think of the part of Dead Rising where Otis welds the door shut, The only thing that wasn't annoying that he did.

Because they oppose the globalist capitalist hegemony that exploits and ruins third world nations for profit, with the cooperation of the world leaders at the G20 conference
I like how these dumbass protesters make the billions spent on security seem justified. What the fuck point are they trying to make? Breaking stuff, by itself, is not a really "rebellious" act and only makes you look like an attention-starved teen, which most of these guys are.

YOU'RE RIGHT!!!! It's just a coincidence that anarchist communities in Spain during the civil war actually produced more then they did during the fascist regime.

smashing storefronts is anti-capitalist, anti-comsumerist, and a defiance of unjust authority.
Or something, I dunno

You've got anarchy mixed up. He's referring to stupid 12 year old's who just want to blow something up. You're referring to true anarchy.

If they hate globalism and capitalism so much, go after the Starbucks and McDonald's.

Canada isn't a fascist regime, they have no reason to bring violence to the streets of Toronto other than to attract attention and make themselves feel strong.
