Stupid Hippies

* Faced with police resistance, the Council of Canadians and others pulled back from the front line about 300 metres, for fear of escalation. Most front-line protesters opted for an impromptu sit-in. Others began dousing their bandannas with vinegar in anticipation of tear gas attacks, forcefully pushing against the wall of police shields and yelling “Peaceful Protest” and other slogans.

Apparently a sense of irony is a bourgeois luxury.
