More bulldshit from the CBC cow

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/100519/national/bank_firebombing
Banks have frequently been the targets of vandalism at recent summits, especially in the wake of the global financial crisis.
First part true, last part not true = bullshit. CBC? Please make sure your reporters are informed before spouting bullshit.
Claudia Calabro of the Toronto Community Mobilization Network, the umbrella group organizing protests around the meetings, said it would neither condemn nor support the firebombing because it is "not interested in speaking about tactics."

In a statement, the network said: "One burnt RBC bank branch pales in comparison to the death and devastation that the G20 policies create worldwide, and the Tar Sands create in Canada."

Bullshit, Claudia: you support the firebombing. "One burnt RBC bank branch pales in comparison to the death and devastation that the G20 policies create worldwide, and the Tar Sands create in Canada."

Ah hello, whoever you are!
When I am acting as a speaker for the Network, I make sure not to make sweeping statements for all people who are part of the Network. I mean, personally, I really like cheesecake, but some of my friends are vegan and prefer ginger cookies. We all agree that desserts are delicious.
When it comes to discussing tactics, what we personally feel, incident to incident, is irrelevant to the work the Network is doing. There is no purpose in the Network condemning or supporting individual actions or tactics. Furthermore, and this might be shocking to you but bear with me, being angry at the injustices of the world =/= automatic blanket support for aggressive actions. That's just faulty logic, friend. I honestly would've expected better, even from an internet troll.
Also, are you calling me a 'CBC cow'? That's really hilarious. I only have one stomach! And now I'm going to fill it with delicious cheesecake. Good day, sir.
