Anticapitalist Convergence: Downtown Square and Anti-Capitalist Protesters

anticapitalist convergence: Most of the anti-capitalist protesters stayed above-ground, however, and marched through downtown to disturb what they claimed were the corporate playgrounds of the scheming rich, according to Brandon Sun. For the 10th consecutive year, a group calling itself the anticapitalist convergence organized a march in the city to celebrate International Workers' Day, also known as May Day. Moments later, red flags, black masks and other clothing littered a downtown square, belonging to a few protesters who entered into the city's underground network to evade arrest. Similar protests took place around the world. Aside from the initial tear gas incident, some protesters broke bank office windows and threw projectiles at cars along the march route, which was limited to the central core of the city. The slogan of this year's protest was, They are rich because we are poor and we are right to revolt, according to the group's literature. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
