Ping. Sorry I didn’t get these posted last night. It was a long day.

Thanks for going to all the work and trouble to get these photos for us to see. Please stay safe when you go back into the belly of the beast.

So far, this looks pretty tame--and the crowds look small. Hopefully, it will remain that way.

Excellent work.

So, can someone remind me just WHAT these kids are protesting? I have a feeling it’s not a protest against the DICTATORS invited to PA. I know they’re not protesting 0bama. They CAN’T be protesting NATO or the U.N. or Global Warming or Environmentalism.

They can’t be protesting Capitalism, because from what I can see, they all have name-brand clothing and ‘Che’ bandanas, Starbucks lattes and ipods and cellphones. And Nikes on their feet! I doubt they all took public transportation to PA from wherever, and how many hippie-wannabees can one cram into a Prius?

So, that only leaves that they must be protesting the Liberty and Democracy found in America that allows them to look like fools. *SMIRK*

Great photos...and very good judgment in not showing the police ‘rooftop’ presence.

Gearing up for the ‘big’ protest today. Hopefully all goes as well...but you want to know how I think this is going to play out? Pgh ‘over reacted’ too much police; too much spent; stiffling free speech; the success of the (keeping prayers going here) THIS in our fair city will be spun to the negative.
