PITTSBURGH — Police fired canisters of pepper spray and smoke at marchers protesting the Group of 20 summit Thursday after anarchists responded to calls to disperse by rolling trash bins and throwing rocks.
The afternoon march turned chaotic at just about the time that President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrived for a meeting with leaders of the world's major economies.
The clashes began after hundreds of protesters, many advocating against capitalism, tried to march from an outlying neighborhood toward the convention center where the summit is being held.
The protesters banged on drums and chanted "Ain't no power like the power of the people, 'cause the power of the people don't stop."
The marchers included small groups of self-described anarchists, some wearing dark clothes and bandanas and carrying black flags. Others wore helmets and safety goggles.
One banner read, "No borders, no banks," another, "No hope in capitalism." A few minutes into the march, protesters unfurled a large banner reading "NO BAILOUT NO CAPITALISM" with an encircled "A," a recognized sign of anarchists.

The corporate-controlled state media is leftist. Leftists protect other leftists.
I defer to your wisdom and agree with your assessment.
these same folks were around when I was in college in the 70s...and now they are called ANSWER
Communist Workers party and International Socialists
(they got their asses handed to them by the Klan in Greensboro 30 years ago)
now they are joined by ELF and PETA types and super green organizations....madness
Hannity had two of the moonbats on his show tonight, one was a member of an obscure environmental group, the other was a graduate student going for her Ph.D in English. Hannity exposed them as communists.
I was just ribbing you... :) When I was in HS in the late 80s that’s where I learned of the “sign”...
And, yes, isn’t it rather humorous? Organized anarchists with quasi-leaders deciding who should do what, when, and how. I mean they recognize the evil inherent in large, out of control social engineering and governments, but don’t realize their actions sort of have a double-edged effect in our world right now... If they don’t help the capitalists, and either the Muslims, or the Communists shred what little is left of our Constitution, we’ll ALL starve, frankly, and you can bet THEY won’t be ABLE to protest ANYTHING — they’ll probably already be “disappeared” or something...
If there’s one thing Communists know is important it’s squashing any semblance of free speech for the people...
Of course the corporate-controlled MSM is not telling the truth! They’re made to spin and lie, and Goebbels would have been proud of their work today, with regards to the ‘protesters’ at Pittsburgh.
