The Real Protestors of Toronto G20
So Tommy Taylor, who wrote the harrowing account of his detention, posted a video on his facebook of the cop cars getting torched at Queen and Spadina. It is really interesting to watch as the so-called anarchists, who torched the cop car, are dressed like American tourists. The group at the end sure looks like cops, but hey, they could also be disgruntled Republicans.
What caught my attention in this video was not the supposed undercover cops, but the appearance of “The Dude” otherwise known as “Crazy Yoga Guy”. This guy is one of various characters that will be engrained in internet culture due to memes, which will undoubtedly continue long after people forget about the injustices that occurred this weekend.
The two characters that I believe will go down in internet history are “The Dude” and “Zombie Police Lady” (AKA Scary Cop Lady).


“The Dude” was obviously looking for attention as he started his day perched on a statue.

He then got into the unlocked cop car on Queen and Spadina.

The Dude was then rescued from near destruction by a good samaritan.
The Dude was not very popular and my friends cheered when he was arrested, but I still love you Dude!
The other real star of the G2 was “Zombie Police Lady”, who was a plain clothes police officer wielding a baton at the crowed at Queens Park.
She is actually far more popular than Dude and already has numerous memes dedicated to her.
Here she is superimposed on a bottle of vodka.
Here she is next to Chuck Norris
My personal favourite is this passionate one from the facebook group dedicated to her
I am just waiting for Bravo to create a show with these two, hey I would watch!




You forgot to mention the” Dude” climbed on top of Steve’s and then dangled down by a phone wire. I wanted to throttle him.
Do you have a picture? I will add it.
