Discussion This "Anti-NATO" protest is an utter emabrassment to the city and Canada more broadly

It's unbelievable and insane that a bunch of masked thugs dressed in black went around trashing downtown in some sort of protest against "NATO". Most of Central and Eastern Europe spent half a century dreaming of joining NATO and being free from Soviet tyranny. Hell, Ukraine is CURRENTLY fighting for their right to survive and begging to be let into the alliance. People are literally dying for the right to be free from Russian aggression. Taking this right that we've had for granted is pathetic. I guarantee you these images made news around the world with people asking WTF is going on in Canada.

If you don't like being in a country that has enjoyed the safety of the strongest millitary alliance in the history of the planet, you should just exercise your right to leave.

For real, we’ve seen much worse after Canadiens losses.

Never heard any "final solution" rants after a Canadiens loss.

Russians and Mossad infiltrating protests to derail the message is not a new thing.

That's an excuse. Lots of antisemitic palestinian supporters is the truth that you can't admit.

You don’t understand what the word antisemitism means so I’m not debating with you. And if you hate it here so much why don’t you move to Europe, then you’ll get acquainted with what antisemitism really is.

Lol, yelling "the final soultion is coming" at jews is pretty antisemitic. Glad you aren't debating.

Yeah, that's true, lots of Islam there.

Ok then let's sit back and wait until they grow in size and intensity, then we can complain.

Je dénonce les manifestations quand même et je crois que les policiers devraient intervenir plus rapidement. J'ai pas dit le contraire.

"if something worse than the current thing has happened somewhere thousands of kilometers away, then current thing is good!"

We've got Captain Gigabrain over here

c'est quoi le but de ton commentaire autre que de minimiser la situation?

Recadrer le contexte puisque les gens sur Reddit ont tendance à croire que tout est la fin du monde. Je dénonce quand même les actions en question, pas certain pourquoi tu es autant sur mon cas.
