G20

I'm ashamed.

I, a Canadian, am standing by while the police that are supposed to protect us are brutalizing (innocent) people. When you hear about a rapist getting smashed into a wall, it's hard to feel sympathetic. Same when a child molester is attacked in jail. I mean, I know that even the lowest among us deserve safety, but a part of me is cheering the karma. The socially conscious part of my brain apparently isn't capable of winning our over my more base feelings.

Ands that's just the beginning. 

It's a sad day to be a Canadian.
