Worthy of a Second Look

In the video that I have reposted below there are several interesting events that I did not previously remark upon. Did you notice that a second looter was disuaded from looting by seeing the consequences that the first looter got? The kid in the brown shirt was about to enter the Bell store when he decided that it was not socially acceptable.
I think that the young man who intervened in the looting was far more effective in preventing further problems with far less force or social disruption than the punitive and over the top reactions of the police officers in Toronto. His actions spoke for the core of Canada and said this is not acceptable. It is time we all spoke up in the presence of what is clearly wrong. Now we also have to embrace that same spirit and say the same thing to the police abuses that clearly occurred during the protests. I am a law abiding citizen in every way. I want our police to abide by the laws as well.
