PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Even as President Obama arrives in Pittsburgh for the Group of 20 summit, protesters and police are clashing on the streets after police tried to break up a march opposing the meeting.
Protesters rolled trash bins toward police and a man in a black hooded sweat shirt threw rocks at a police car, breaking the front windshield. Some protesters also are using pallets and corrugated steel to block a road.
Officers fired gas at the protesters. Some of those exposed to the gas were coughing, complaining of eyes watering and stinging.
The march began with several hundred protesters. It did not have a city permit and police declared it an unlawful assembly. The group broke into smaller groups after being confronted by police.
They didn’t spray you with tear gas, did they?
Lets compare and contrast how liberals behave in Pittsburgh to the 9/12 march.
Finally he gets the reception he so richly deserves.
I wonder how isolated zero has been kept and if this will be a shock to him? Did he expect everyone to suddenly act like he was the messiah?
I heard on CNN that one of their reporters got tear-gassed.
Even then, it sounds as though the protests aren’t living up to the hype.
This President’s Administration IS CHAOS.... pure and simple.
These are Obama supporters versus the police. Wonder if the media will report that fact?
Amazing!
Were they Commies or Teabaggers?
Some of those exposed to the gas were coughing, complaining of eyes watering and stinging.
DOH! That’s what it’s supposed to do.
Anyway, if they had gotten a real dose
they wouldn’t have been able to complain.
Did he ride into town on an ass? Did he stretch his arms out over the multitudes and bring peace upon them?
What do you make of the protesters when they protest their perfect storm of a president?
What more could they ask for in a president?
Anti-capitalist (check)
Hates America (check)
Wants to turn America into a Marxist nation (check)
Encourages the UN subjugate Americans (check)
Wants to spread the wealth worldwide (check)
Maybe Jeb will look good soon, or maybe the twins?
CNN reporters need to be gassed and MSDNC reporters need to be waterboarded.
Compare his leftie allies protesting today to the tea party protesters. Funny, they keep talking about right wing violence.
Well, gee! I think that's the whole point.
I heard he was going to turn water into koolaid.
