When I covered the G20 protests in June 2010 in Toronto, there were violent attacks on the Starbucks downtown. As the protest dragged on, Starbucks further and further outside the city core also came under attack. This was a particular concern to me, as I had hoped to file stories and photos there, with their free Internet and strong Americano.
Now it seems that the anarchists aren’t the only ones with a bone to pick with the coffee giant. A biker war can also trace its origins to the home of the $5 latte.
Perhaps they should push the decaf a little harder.
