Riot at Queen's Park Anti-poverty march erupts in violence.

TORONTO, ON - JUNE 15: Anti-poverty protesters threw molotov cocktails, paint bombs and fist-sized chunks of concrete at police in front of the Ontario Legislature yesterday to protest the government's social policies. Hundreds of protesters battled scores of Toronto police in an hour-long skirmish - the worst violence the Legislature has seen - to protest homelessness, the abolition of rent controls and other social policy measures. The trouble began after John Clarke, organizer for the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) which led the march, was denied access to the Legislature to address MPP's. Met with locked doors and lines of police in riot gear Clarke encourage demonstrators to don gas masks and eye shields. June 15, 2000. (Boris Spremo/Toronto Star via Getty Images)
