Anarchist Group
I am removing the sentence "The Black Bloc" is sometimes incorrectly reported as being the name of a specific anarchist group. It is, rather, a tactic that may be adopted by groups of various motivations and methods." because it is incorrect. World leaders condem the group and say they are anarchists. Also, the picture has the symbol to back me up. --Striker1057 (talk) 13:30, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Government or Marketing Company Origin
I was wondering about the origin of this Black Bloc. I've never heard of it before, and the media seem to know all about it. It is suddenly mentioned around the g20, and the suspiciously agent provocateur looking tactics. So, I looked up the origins of this article, and it was started by an author at IP address 142.177.114.85, belonging to Stentor National Integrated Communications Network, 110 O'Connor St., Floor 3, Ottawa. 4 blocks from Parliament Buildings, and in the middle of a lot of Canadian Government offices. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.6.25.120 (talk) 08:32, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- I did a quick Google search on the company, and it appears that despite what it looks like, it's apparently innocuous: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/419909.html

Actually, the link you provide says: "The IP address further resolves to military-family-resource-center.ns.vibe.net" I find that suspicious rather than innocuous... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.6.25.120 (talk) 04:22, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Police vehicles attacked
Also, youi may add, at least one police vehicle was damaged in the Toronto G20 Riots —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjohnson1234 (talk • contribs) 02:08, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- More like 5 or more Police cars burned and Zanzibar, Toronto's famous strip club was attacked. 99.229.19.99 (talk) 17:40, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
These were police officers staging this event for an excuse to arrest protesters. If police false flags deserve mention in this article is debatable. Perhaps a section on police provocateurs is warranted in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.202.96.47 (talk) 19:45, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

There's now a new article: 2010 G-20 Toronto summit protests, and the above is mentioned in its discussion page.205.189.194.208 (talk) 21:11, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
"creating a clear revolutionary presence."
BARF! NPOV NPOV NPOV NPOV citation needed. Who (outside "the movement") even knows what this means? This article is total crap and an egomaniacal abuse of Wikipedia. I've run the streets masked/'blocked' up before, but I don't agree with publishing your zine on Wikipedia, as has been done here. --98.118.86.16 (talk) 03:54, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- Changed it to say they create the illusion of a larger group (of anarchists). Most edits to this page took place before the summit, and it was placed into lockdown to prevent ranting and raving. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 16:44, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
