Man pummeled at within G20 security zone for wishing upon a star

BANGUS ONLINE - TORONTO - G20 protesters clashing with rows of riot police, a tense standoff and a city on edge. Call the nearly 3,000 people who marched, many angrily, on Toronto's streets on Friday an appetizer. On Friday, the G20 security fence, dubbed "Fortress Toronto" had been closed, yet compromised by Andy Davies who was pummeled publicly and duct taped upside down to the fence as a warning to others thinking of acting out. Davies, a full time corn shucker from Bonfield, Ontario was in the city to take advantage of all the fun to be had at Ontario Place. According to his wife, Ramona, Andy was so happy being in the big city that he felt compelled to wish upon a star for the good times never to end - all in between earth quakes, tornadoes and down pours

"Friday night Andy and I strolled downtown when Andy spotted the first star he saw that night, which may have been a planet, but we had no idea we were doing anything wrong. That's when all the police came and really went to town on him. He's still on the fence and they said that I can come by Monday and pick him up. Maybe they were just using Andy to testing the limits and tactics."

Ramona plans on returning to Ontario Place to try out the paddle boats and maybe do some shopping at the Eaton's Centre until Monday morning.
