BONUS

This week there was a bonus opportunity given to those who wanted to watch the documentary on CBC fifth estate, You Should Have Stayed Home.  I took the time to watch this, and I'm very glad I did.  This documentary was about the untold stories of the G-20 protest. It first starts out with video of all the peaceful protests that were being held in Queen's park, the free zone.  Violence then soon started up, which lead to several police to move in a take control.  They tell the story of one man named Dorian Barton who was beat-up, brought to detention centre that was organized to hold all people arrested that day.  It was five hours later that a medic saw him and was told nothing could be done. The next day he was charged and came to find out that his arm was severely broken.  Another story told was that of Jason McDonald, another mad who was beaten for doing nothing.  And this was the case with many others as well.  You could see this because video was taken of many of these beatings and arrests.  After the weekend was other there was 1100 arrests made, yet 709 were never charged with anything.  There were still nine investigations from that weekend still taking place.  After watching this documentary, it really opened my eyes to what actually happened.  I know that in many other countries it is severely worse and we are lucky to live in a safe country. Yet all of it still makes you think and wonder.
