Three Canadians charged with anti-G8, G20 arson
Source: AFP

(AFP) – 2 hours ago

OTTAWA — Three Canadian men suspected of ties to an anti-G20 group have been arrested and charged in last month's firebombing of a Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) branch in Ottawa, police said Saturday.

The May 18th blast that destroyed the branch's automated teller machine area and blew out its windows for damages estimated at 500,000 dollars was claimed by an anti-establishment group.

In a video posted online, the group railed against the leaders and bankers of the G8 and G20 world powers, which meet in Ontario next week.

Police placed arson, possession of incendiary material, explosives and mischief charges on Friday against the three suspects -- retired government employee Roger Clement, 58, engineer Claude Haridge, 50, and Matthew Morgan-Brown, 32, all from Ottawa.
the Ottawa Court House earlier Saturday and were remanded into custody. Morgan-Brown and Haridge are due in court on Monday and Clement has a court appearance scheduled for Friday.

1. I don't condone violence

But you oppress people long enough, they hit back. The banks have put us through a ton of shit. Millions out of work, in debt, a ruined economy. And how many bankers are in jail? Not enough. Only the people that hit back will ever go to jail.

3. The banks in Canada didn't get into subprime loans. So we didn't have
to bail them out.

2. Never considered anarchism as a second career before.

4. So the question is...
do they need more police, or more arsonists?
