us with this news from the CBC. The Exploited / Total Chaos show scheduled for Montreal this evening was cancelled due to problems the bands had crossing the US / Canada border. After hearing the news waiting concertgoers began breaking store windows, vandalizing cars and setting fires on the corner of St-Denis and the Rene-Lévesque boulevard. Two people, including a policeman, were injured and so far only two individuals have been arrested. An anti-riot squad was called in to disperse the crowd. You can find some pictures here.
This is from an article at Canada.com: "Hundreds of young people milled around the street for about 45 minutes before the violence began. Several then picked up material from a nearby construction site and hurled the items at cars and windows, said a witness… Minutes later, at least four cars were overturned and set on fire, flames shooting out the side windows as firemen directed streams of water at them… Some of the rioters grabbed a computer from one of the stores and hurled it at a car. The windows of one large music store, a clothing shop and a printer were smashed."
