OG COUCH CORNER HUSTLA
On August 11, hundreds of anti-fascists and anti-racists converged in Nathan Phillips Square, and were met by a large and aggressive police presence. Cops attempted to erect metal barricades around the counter-demo, but militants were smart to fight back for control of the entrances into the square. It worked. This led to a standoff with police in the hot sun, while antifa was provided a steady supply of freezies by the “Snack Bloc.” Every so often, a lone white supremacist who didn’t get the memo about the canceled rally would show up, provoke the crowd by saying something like “White Power!”, and then get punched several times before being run out of the square. A couple far-Right photographers were spotted and also dealt with fairly efficiently. A photographer with the Toronto Sun, a right-wing trash paper, had his hat scooped and some journalists are trying to make a scandal out of it.
Finally, Sandra Solomon was spotted by scouts a few blocks away, several hours late to her own party. Several crews departed the square and surrounded her. Turns out her rally was a whopping 3 people. A large contingent of police escorted her to the building adjacent to Nathan Philips Square. Interestingly, by watching Sandra’s own livestream, we see that the cops escorting Sandra are very unhappy with having to protect this small ass group against hundreds of fired up anti-fascists, tell Sandra she’s not allowed to use her megaphone, and ask Sandra’s friend to refrain from singing an out-of-tune O Canada (“You’re making our jobs harder.”) The cops tell Sandra that they can negotiate with her, whereas provoking the anti-fascists is like “poking a hornet’s nest.” They are genuinely afraid of us in numbers. So let’s continue to be hornets.
