LCBO to close 7 locations during G20

I live inside the "secure zone" but not inside the fence, our condo corp has told us to stock up on essentials in case there is a "serious event"

I'll just need to add beer to the list, along with canned foods and a shotgun.

They have really thought of everything.

They shut down the morgue, so that rioters would not steal limbs to use as weapons.

I think this is the reason why they're closing the Spadina/King LCBO:

"One of the stores, the LCBO at King Street West and Spadina Avenue, was featured in a video posted on YouTube last month by a group of Montreal demonstrators. The video showed various Toronto landmarks including the LCBO store, the Hockey Hall of Fame and several banks, followed by their locations, which were marked on a map of Toronto with a skull and crossbones."

Get the sound and water cannons!

MUST DEFEND MY LCBO!

Hopefully given the video there'll be enough police presence around the area to avoid any vandalism on the LCBO or my condo.

What floor are you on? I'm planning to fire my paintball gun at a few windows up there!

I love that protesters were able to bully the LCBO into closing the Spadina store. If you listen to fools... Mob Rules!

Unless you've got a rocket launcher, you ain't hitting my windows bub.

Watch out for the falling bleach balloons. You're pretty easy to spot in a crowd. To think my girlfriend hassled me for buying those 77c jugs of bleach a while ago. HA! I knew they'd come in handy at some point.

I meant I will be careful to miss your unit with my paintball gun, why the hostility?

Uh huh, I see. Well then I'll try to be careful too.

Make sure you follow one of the unwritten rules of hockey: Keep your head up.

Walked by the Queen's Quay location this morning... completely bordered up. Looks like an abandoned store front

The King & Spadina one is boarded up too.

Lots of other businesses on King St W. boarded up too: Golf Town, Second Cup (thought still open), Dunn's, the Greek restaurant has put plexiglass-ish stuff up.

And now you can be arrested if you don't identify yourself to an officer or security guard manning "the fence" if you are within 5 metres of it

Maybe they should've closed more sources of flammable material!
