Demonstrators took to the streets of downtown Montreal Thursday night in protest of the McGill University encampment’s dismantling.
What began as a pro-Palestinian gathering at Phillips Square around 9 p.m. quickly consumed central downtown. Chanting protesters, many of them masked, moved down Ste-Catherine St., with police in riot gear containing them on either side.

In Canada wearing a mask during a riot carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
These Hamas terrorists in Montreal tonight deserve that. I hope they get locked up for a long time. pic.twitter.com/6qJbgTaxio
