Nelson George - Toronto Film Festival - Discussing Brooklyn Boheme

Filmmaker Nelson George discusses Brooklyn Boheme, the changes Brooklyn has experienced since the 90's and possible reasons for the latest demographic shifts within the borough.

I spent so much time in Brooklyn during the 90's that it is still difficult to embrace how much it has changed since then, the same with parts  of Far Rockaway Queens, the Bronx and Newark, NJ.

That gentrification is real.

Looter Gets Knocked on His Ass During G20 Toronto

My man just thought it would be too easy to grab a little parting gift and keep it moving... until he ran into "karate man".

Now you have to look closely to see it, but, the guy in the brown shirt who gets bumped into, quickly gets over the shock of the bump, then decides at the :06 mark, "Hey I think I'm going to get some free sh%t too!

He turns around lifts his thieving ass leg to step into the window of the Bell store when he catches the image of his "main man" getting the sidewalk wiped up with his face.

Looter and potential looter at G20 Toronto. The guy in brown shirt (left)was about to step through the window to steal until he decided he didn't want the beating that came with the loot.

:08 - This is when he pulls that "thieving ass leg" back down and pretends to be an observer(fraud), then walks away.
