Tamil Protesters Sacrifice Children In Toronto

[Liberalman]

Toronto Tamil Tigers vow to close more highways according to the terrorist Tamil spokesman.

Highway occupation could happen again, Tamils say


Usually the Conservative party is hard headed and stubborn but why they bowed to pressure from the terrorist Toronto Tamils is beyond me.

The Conservative party decided to give three million dollars for humanitarian aid to Sri Lanka.

The Toronto Tamil Tigers took this as a victory and now they want more they closed down more major highways.

When our present Mayor got into power the first thing he did was fire the police chief so he could put in a police chief who was afraid to act unless the Mayor approves it but Toronto’s NDP Mayor is not willing to put a stop to this.

There is a turf war happening in the west part of Toronto. People are losing their jobs in this depression and Toronto is having a gun and drug problem so really the terrorist Toronto Tamil Tigers just don’t cut it for Toronto.

In Toronto we are allowed to protest as long as we do it within the law but when we break the law then we suffer the consequences like tears gas, riot police on horses, rubber bullets and now tasers and free rides to jail.

If the Toronto police chief is unwilling to act then he has to be replaced.

If the Mayor is forcing the police chief not to act then he should be replaced.

If nothing is done then Toronto might very well be in danger of becoming a war zone.

The police have to act now and if they are unwilling the Ontario Provincial Police or the RCMP or even the military has to be called in.

We have to remember that the military did a great job in Oka

It's when idiots call protesters terrorists that we lose the stigma that goes with being a terrorist. Like calling every guy a rapist and every woman a gold digger.

While I don't agree with taking small children on to the Guardiner to protest anything, it's this sort of sensationalized editorial that shows how someone can use the Internet as a weapon to attack those they hate.

I have a feeling that if they block the highway again, there will be a lot more violence brought towards them.

What do they expect to gain? That they will protest over and over again, and more money will be sent each time?:-?

Doesn't it muddy the waters when the 'protesters' are waving the flags of a known terrorist organization, a flag that has guns on it?

Doesn't that suggest that the 'protesters' are supporters of the 'terrorists'? Isn't that what waving the flag means?

Would Russian citizens have been terrorist had they protested against an unpopular Stalin government? Would Germans have been terrorist had they become disenchanted with Hitler? Have you ever considered Tamil Tigers are more popular than Sri Lanka's government? Why else would there be refugees?

If the Tamil tigers acted differently they would be considered a resistance force or freedom fighters. They weren't always classified as a terrorist organization. It's when they started suicide bombings targetting civilians, trained other terrorist groups in those tactics, used child soldiers, committed assassinations and ethnic cleansing, etc. that they became a terrorist group. Look into their history. They are not any better than their enemy. Being the underdog doesn't automatically make them worthy of support. There were and are other groups advocating independence for the Tamil people who don't resort to the Tigers' tactics.... of course the Tigers killed a lot of them off. Not exactly a group Canada should support. Learn from India on that one.

 

[lone wolf]

It's kind of like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. If the Tigers can force a corrupt government to listen - whether you like it's means or not - then they will win the support of the people. Don't forget: In Asian culture, some people are expendable for the good of the many.

How about supporters of terrorism? The protesters carried LTTE flags and wore LTTE T-shirts. The LTTE is a terrorist organization under Canadian law.

Now, I have absolutely NO problem with anyone protesting anything. Please, feel free. Go to any public place and, in keeping with the law, carry any sign, make any speech, appeal to anyone over anything.....

But you set out to restrict the freedom of your fellow citizens, when you openly and intentionally break the law to gain attention, when youcost the city a whack of money, when you pull a stunt that is in anyway dangerous, when you shut down or seriously complicate the normal activities of a city, and do it support of a terrorist group, you've crossed a big line.

Lots of arrests. Lots and lots......arrest as many as possible, check their citizenship. If it is NOT Canadian......deport them to Sri Lanka immediately. That means now.

 

[lone wolf]

You upheld the banner for Harper ... and for Mulroney ... even though you claim to have disliked both of them as leaders.

If they shot, bombed, killed, extorted innocent civilians, yes, they would have been.

Really, it's too bad the world wasn't in sharply-defined black-and-white just to make things easier for the folk who have to be spoon-fed their realities.

Harper, yes.......and I still think him very much the best of the lot.....

Mulrooney? Perish the thought! I may have at some time listed his accomplishments, but I can't stand the man. I was never a member of the Progressive Conservative Party (the Forward-Backward Party), and I voted for the ONCE....in 1984 to get rid of the Liberals, and I was sorry....I was a very early member of Mulroney's nemesis, the Reform Party. I could hardly be said to have "carried his banner"

And I certainly never attended illegal protests, breaking the law in support of anyone.

Much less a terrorist organization.

What's you point?

In your own church, that makes you a patron saint. This is the real world.

The point is maybe the "terrorist" organization is better than what they with the power offer. Do the Sinhalese accept the Tamil as partners in their own nation? What makes one brand of oppression and violence any better than another?

 

[L Gilbert]

I can't blame the Tamils for wanting to be independent. They view themselves as different from the rest. But the methods used by some Tamils are despicable.

From Wiki:

....Most modern Sri Lankan Tamils descend from the Jaffna Kingdom, a former kingdom in the north of the island and Vannimaichieftaincies from the east. They constitute a majority in the Northern Province, live in significant numbers in the Eastern Province, and are in the minority throughout the rest of the country.
Sri Lankan Tamils are culturally and linguistically distinct from the other two Tamil-speaking minorities in Sri Lanka, the Indian Tamils and the Moors. Genetic studies indicate that they are closely related to the majority Sinhalese people. The Sri Lankan Tamils are mostly Hindus with a significant Christian population. Sri Lankan Tamil literature on topics including religion and the sciences flourished during the medieval period in the court of the Jaffna Kingdom. Since the 1980s, it is distinguished by an emphasis on themes relating to the Sri Lankan Civil War. Sri Lankan Tamil dialects are noted for their archaism and retention of words not in everyday use in the Tamil Nadu state in India......

Kinda reminds me of China and Taiwan.

There is always two sides to every story.

Can we call the Confederate Army of the Southern US a terrorist group?
Is the Rebel flag a symbol of terrorism?
Does it make Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina terrorist states?

I think we need to take some care in who and what we slap the old terrorism tag on.

The Taliban, support terrorists. They move money, training and alocate areas and facilites to terrorists so they can train and indoctorinate people to kill civilians living here and else where.

While the Tamil Tigers have committed acts of terrorism, holding a flag, I don't think, really qualifies as a terrorist act.

See my response to TenPenny.

Protests disrupt the normal flow, which is usually the point. To get people to stop and pay attention to what you feel is an issue they should know about.

The same happens when truckers form up on the 401, farmers drive combines to Ottawa and people protest the G8 conferences. Life goes on. Having to find an alternate route to get to work or the bar isn't as great a problem as you make it out to be. After all, drivers are sitting in a soft comfortable seat, warm and cozy listening to some music they like probably drinking a coffee or other beverage.
For an extra twenty minutes!?! :angry3:

Putting someone though that because you want everyone to know that people are being killed, and that you want some help from your government to bring about at lease a cease fire is worth arresting people and kicking them out of the country?

Colpy, I thought you loved freedom?

Lots of arrests. Lots and lots......arrest as many as possible, check their citizenship. If it is NOT Canadian......deport them to Sri Lanka immediately. That means now.

If they are gun owners, should we take away their guns too?

 

[DurkaDurka]

Protests are one thing. Closing down University Ave off and on for more then a week, assaulting police and intimidating passerby's is criminal. Not to mention the Tamil's highjacking the Garnerer Expressway, which you cannot even begin to justify under any means.

The Tamil's are barking up the wrong tree with their protests, instead of pissing off the citizens of Toronto, they should be taking their protests to Ottaws. Any sympathy they had at the begining of their protests has dwindled to nothing due to them blocking off hosipital routes, highjacking freeways, assualting police, flaunting terrorist flags and just being a general nuisance.

Wow ... Road construction must really annoy you....

Ever seen what happens when OPSEU has an information picket?

Your consolodation and control of media.

Rarely are the downtown streets closed to construction except for the freeways etc. My problem isn't with the protests but with the manner in which they are doing so. I live approx 200 metres from where they have been protesting on University Ave, I have had to put up with their racket for last 2 week effecting my sleep in the process as they are there 24/7 when they decide to show up.

Again, it's the manner in which they are protesting.
