G8, G20 Meetings Come To A Close
To ice the cake, mass arrests were made of protesters who couldn't tolerate the G20's inability to do anything. These protesters were seeking a far different referendum than what most conservatives would seek, and made their message clear by blowing up cars, breaking windows, and spraying graffiti all over Toronto. While the arrests contained the situation, it still made for some pretty bad optics during the world's biggest international meeting. Then again, bad optics is pretty much the name of the game when you're talking about the G8 and G20.
