@hilikusopus: There was no fishing anyone out of "Torontanimo", just about everyone was held for 23 hours (at 24 hours there's some legal requirement, I think to actually charge someone with a crime, but I'm not sure), one hamburger bun to eat, a couple cups of dirty water to drink, a toilet with no door, women were…

@Joel Pennie: If Bubble shad been one of those national guardsmen, all those damn hippies would be dead.*

@Gary_7vn: Two wrongs might not make a right. But two negatives do equal a positive...

@TetraGenesis: While I get what you're saying, and I know when I say "fuck the police" I don't mean all police, the difference between the police and, like you said, the staff at Applebee's, is that the staff at Applebee's aren't the arm of the judiciary, tasked with upholding the law, given special status under the…

@Ron-Yr-Ar-Ttam: You did not defame him in any way. Furthermore, if you had, truth is an absolute defense.

@Jeff Wooten: See now that could be considered defamation. Better watch out, or Bubbles'll come after you!

@hawkeye18: You telling him to do something would not be defamation, unless you are implying or saying that he has done it before and that that thing is negative.

@drewids: Mutual respect was all that was needed that weekend (well that, and decisive action to arrest the "black bloc" criminals). If she had stood up to Bubbles, it would have shown the crowd the police didn't want any trouble and were fine with the protesters being there. By not doing so, and followed up the…

@blyan-reloaded: Read the Wikipedia page on defamation: [en.wikipedia.org]

@solOptimus: I believe they just sued Google to get their names, the only names they have are of the users who chose to reveal themselves.

@konker08: I doubt they'll cave (they even informed the users in the suit that they were being sued, and if they wanted, Google would release their names, but if not, would presumably fight it), they may very well, however, lose and be ordered to reveal the names.

@myxylplyx: The difference being, the guy your friend hit didn't have a gun, and a "legal" right to arrest and beat anyone for any reason he felt like making up.

@macpiper: I think it's important to note that the phone numbers written on arms were for legal aid, in case they were arrested, they would know the number to call so that a lawyer would be able to get them out.

@tahushi1: Very true, she seemed like she really wasn't a fan of how Bubbles was treating the girl. But that was the problem with the G20 weekend, the cops who actually had a problem with what was going on couldn't or wouldn't do anything. In the prison camp where they sent arrestees (and held them without out shoes…

@magnanadanna: I would love to see the courts give him a slap on the wrist (or, y'know, a lot worse) for abusing civil liberties.... but somehow, given the massive support for the police actions that weekend, I'm not confident it will happen. Then again, if an Ontario court found making bawdy houses illegal an abuse…

@Robert Fletcher: Yeah, I'm sorry... I held us to a better standard too.

@Jerm Deeks: (Having trouble posting the video...)

@Fekdep:

@akuma_619: If this story was reposted on another Gawker site, that could be causing problems, it has in the past.

@starspider: If this was the response to hippie bubbles, just imagine if this guy was doing this kind of work in the '60s, imagine how much bloodshed there would have been when one of them tried to put a flower in his gun. She touched his gun! That's assault with a deadly weapon! Fire! Fire! Fire!
