It's these events that always give me pause to reflect on martyred anti-globalization "activist" Carlo Giuliani.

Carlo thought it would be a good idea to throw a fire extinguisher at Italian Carabinieri during the 2001 G8 summit in Genoa.

Carlo thought wrong.

Per police scanner: Police surrounded by protestors, need backup

Looks like they are setting up for a “robust debate.”

I feel deprived. I kept asking people where the tear gas was when I was marching at the TEA rally in D.C.

I haven’t been gassed since boot camp in 1974.

It does seem a warzone in Pittsburgh. It looks like they really overdid it so far. Hardly any protestors, no real clashes yet. They are targetting an area that originally was not heavily patrolled by police. Maybe they’ll do the same in other areas later tonight/tomorrow.

4 people with hatpins could make sure these “Black Bloc” animals never show up to another protest again.

Why do they cover their faces? Because they are going to commit crimes?

Would it perhaps be cheaper if the G20 leased the Queen Mary II, or some other such vessel, for a week and have the summit on there? The expense, not just for security, but the loss of productivity in the surrounding business, has to be much more than the two or three million it would take to rent the QE2.

I have no idea why the Lefties are protesting this. Isn’t the theme for this year’s Summit “We’re paddling towards communism as fast as we can”?
