Commentary
Anti-NATO and pro-Palestinian protests on Nov. 22 devolved into chaos about 40 minutes after the two marches merged on the streets of Montreal. Video footage shows black-clad rioters in masks breaking windows of the convention center where NATO delegates were meeting, while one protester appears to intimidate a journalist with frenetic jumping and wild arm movements uncomfortably close to the journalist’s head and camera.
