News of anarchy breaking out on Locke street from Twitter. Multiple reports that 10-15 people dressed in all Black began marching through the streets.
These anarchists talk a good game about wanting to resist corporate globalization, but the only people they attack are small, independent business owners who have few resources and can’t fight back. #HamOnt

From what I’m seeing on Twitter tonight, @HamiltonPolice response to Locke Street looks to be properly done. Two officers in area quickly called for backup, HPS surrounded area on multiple streets decreasing escape routes. Detectives quickly on scene to secure evidence. #HamOnt

#hamont this is reminder that we are a community. For all the differences, at the end of the day we are Hamiltonians together #lockestshops
