I am a staunch pacifist.

I opted against taking the LSAT over several aspects of the Canadian legal system I personally find disturbing and appalling that violate my code of personal ethics.
I have no angle to portray, other than one using my own experiences that are in contrast to your own.
I went to QC with the intent to peacefully protest, in addition to helping provide emergency first aid and medical assistance since I had my certs at the time.
I spent 2 days and a night trying to track down where some of the more involved and aggressive protestors that I arrived with got sent to (not an easy task for an Anglophone who only took french up to grade nine, when every quebecois is yelling in their own tongue).
I did not just pack my shit up once the police began "shitting on the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms", I got the "joy" of seeing both civilian and protester hurt, and it certainly wasn't all from the police you'd like to set up as being the inevitable relentless aggressor.
Feel free to try and paint me as a coward simply because I don't agree with violent protest over these summits. I am sure you would like that.
Feel free to tell me who I am and who I should be since you seem to think you know everything about everyone.
You know me so well!

I wasnt saying you were a coward, i was doubting you ever went to the summit of the americas. Cause you spoke like if people were hit by gas it must be because they must have been close to the rock throwers, when everyone that was there knows that the whole neighboorhood of St-Roch was smothered in a cloud of CS gas. It really sounded like you saw a cop throw a canister of gas at a protester on TV and you made up a story about how you could dodge the gas by not being close to the guy it was aimed at.
Thats what it looked like, which made me doubt you were there:
