Well, Christmas is coming up, so I'm sure their parents can get them another iPad or laptop or slingbox or whatever it is they need. They just need to make sure it's on the list they make for Santa. :thumb:

If these people are poor and don't have jobs how do they afford pricey cameras, phones, and laptops?

Occupy Toronto "This Man Was in my Tent Sniffing my Girlfriend’s Feet”
MRC TV ^ | Thursday, October 20, 2011 | Stephen Gutowski

A man is arrested at Occupy Toronto after allegedly smelling a woman's feet and trying to get other protesters to drink urine.
The Protester who uploaded this video also left this comment on it claiming his girlfriend was groped by this man as well:
"He was also groping her but I failed to mention due to being a bit emotionally tied up. Evidently the cop and I cleared it up wish I could have reacted perfectly. If I didn`t get this evidence I feel those who were still in the tent would have discovered it."
