Check this out – from The Star:

It was a tender and intimate moment caught on camera, but for Alexandra Thomas and Scott Jones, the only thing they felt was terror and fear for their safety.

Not as hot as you thought?

Speaking to the Toronto Star, Thomas and Jones, the kissing couple who were photographed in between police lines at the Vancouver riot, described a very different scenario than what people saw.

“We were struck by police shields, pushed to the ground and I was just very, very frightened,” said Thomas. “Everything happened so fast, faster than we could ever imagine it could happen.”

Pretty rad.
