G-20 Protesters March
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | 9/25/09 | Carl Prine

A large march against the Group of 20 economic summit ended in the North Side after wrapping several miles from Oakland to Downtown with few problems.

"I support the people's rights to assemble," said a man who identified himself as Vermin Supreme, 50, of Baltimore, who wore a red clown nose to stress he is a peaceful marcher as he followed the crowd on Fifth Avenue. "It disarms the police."

Peacefull protest seems to disarm police as well.

They also urged Obama to speak for freedom in Tibet.

They're talking to the wrong guy. They might get him "to speak" but that's about all.

When both hippies and conservatives start to take a critical look at large financial institutions and their political influence, maybe there really is something going on.

Well the MSM posted 101 shots of protesters who hide their faces and perform “dances” between “coal” and “wind” — but no pics of the Tea Party protesters, none of whom covered their faces or committed acts of violence.

Agreed. The liberal protesters might find their numbers swelling into the hundreds of thousands if the could drop the calls for socialism, communism, and a whole range of unrelated issues.

I haven’t watched or read the coverage of the G-20 protests. How does the coverage compare to that of the million man tea party?

Perhaps President Obama will wear a red clown nose when he meets with the Iranians; it will disarm them.

They marched right past me on Fifth and Ross (where I work) and do you know what most of the bystander gawker crown said first? “Man, these people smell bad!” The marchers smelled worst than the funkiest nastiest street person you could imagine. I worked in jails and prisons and inmates did not smell that bad.

Banks are more dangerous than standing armies.
