The Yobs that occupied downtown Ottawa and the border crossing crossings two years ago over their imagined constitutional and human rights, were similarly motivated and equally politically illiterate as this current lot
I thought the protesters in Canada were all right-minded lovers of freedom? I'm pretty sure that's how they were described by a number of people, some of whom may even have even posted here, and it was the Canadian government that was clearly in the wrong.

I've never heard the word "yobs" other than as spoken by @renauda. I have no idea what the actual definition is, but it seems to fit these asshats perfectly.
"Asshat" = "Yob?"
A specific kind.
Do a google image search for "yobbo."

"Dozens..."
How many "dozens?" One? Twelve?
Ah, about two...
At least they weren't parading...
ETA: Or gluing themselves to the pavement.
