A group of about 30 persons dressed in black and wearing black masks marched down Locke St. in Hamilton’s southwest quadrant Saturday night breaking store windows and otherwise vandalizing shops. Police arrived and the mob fled. They carried a sign calling themselves the Ungovernables. Comments on Twitter suggested that, as in Montreal, this was a protest against vaguely-defined “gentrification.” With as many as 30 people in the group, it seems likely police will be able to make headway in identifying them. Police said they were “looking at” possible links to an Anarchist book fair that was being held at Westdsale Secondary School Saturday. No specific group has been identified but police said they were going to be investigating.
Edgelord anarchists, aka "bored teenagers with no money & jealousy issues" destroy private property while claiming "we are the ungovernables". Colour me shocked. I look forward to seeing "the ungovernables" eating court mandated processed-cheese-slice sandwiches from a jail cell. https://t.co/8JEhwD9l34
