What's with these anarchists 'demonstrating' against 'capitalism'? Are we supposed to oppose or support these thugs anyway? Demonstrators in Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh, PA. Pittsburgh PD riot cops (more like robocops). Good to see a sign demonstrating against G20. And another one. The robocops detains a poor protester. And another one. Pittsburgh PD robocops walk through a vegetable market.

Watched it on the news all day. There was a large group of Penguins fans chanting “let’s go Pens” carrying a mock Stanley cup. They were louder than the protesters. At $92MM for security, it is costing about $100k per protester and about $20MM for each broken window.

“G-20 opponents, police clash on Pittsburgh streets”

NOW I SEE! These are the way civil “opponents” behave, not like us rude, un-american, mobs. Now I know what to wear and how to be polite at the next townhall meeting...

OK now looking at the picture of the cops in the vegetable market. Am i the only one thinking they should have brought a trebuchet. Come on think of the fun. Hit a hippy with a cantaloupe, win a prize. Or bring in one of those big pumpkin cannons for long range artillery support. Sure they want to establish a socialist utopia, just let them try it with a watermelon up side their heads.

It’s so great that the left is non-violent.

Hard to know if they are still causing trouble, but the “protestors” were breaking windows in other neighborhoods tonight. Local news cut off when it started getting dicey. People would not disperse, protestors changed clothes to blend in with Pitt students.

Makes one wonder how many of these protesters are part of
Zero’s college volunteers that are working toward their promised degree and I would guess that the ones with their faces covered are paid protesters that were bused in. Don’t
some of you freepers know any of the cops around this area
that you could ask a couple questions ? Mr/Mrs Zero is loving
all this because it’s a small part of their overall agenda!

Pittsburgh G20 Resistance Project

Thursday, September 24, will feature a People’s Uprising, a mass march to disrupt the G-20 summit. We’ll be starting at Arsenal Park at 2:30 pm in Lawrenceville, a vibrant working class community in the city, and marching to the G-20 summit downtown. Our theme is “Power from Below, Not Impositions from Above.” Our only permit is our feet and voices. The G-20 is in the house, throwing a party. Let’s crash it.

Friday, September 25, we’ll be working to undermine the G-20 summit by attacking their power, making connections to the local manifestations of their neoliberal agenda. The folks that gather in the convention center represent large governments that draw their power from collusion with powerful corporations, governments that draw their wealth from resource extraction and destruction to our world, and governments that maintain their forces through the direct violence of police forces and militaries. Without these structural supports, their power will disintegrate. The G-20 is in a house of cards: let’s shake the table.

The action working group of the Pittsburgh G-20 Resistance Project has drawn up a list of 100 potential targets, and many groups will be claiming a destination somewhere in the city. We call for these coordinated actions to end at 11:30 am in which we will demonstrate: we do not need to be together physically to be together in struggle.

We encourage people to form affinity groups with those that they know and trust, to have a familiar faces to stick with in the streets and people to organize and take action with. An affinity group is when you get together with folks who are on the same page as you about what kind of action you want to do.

protesters unfurled a large banner . . .with an encircled "A," a recognized sign of anarchists

The anarchists have a "recognized sign"? I don't think this writer has any idea what an anarchist actually is. Next he'll be saying they have formal meetings, and bylaws, and dues, and tidy up the area after their demonstrations are over.

I don’t what all the comotion they are making is about. They got their man in the WhiteHouse and even as we speak and type he is doing their bidding.

All they need to do is give him a few more weeks and he will accomplish all their goals for them.

Compare the actions of these unwashed miscreants to the Tea Party protesters. There was no violence, or rioting at the tea parties. No stores were vandalized, etc.

Of course; the media will characterize the peaceful, US constitution adhering tea party attendees as "dangerous right-wing radicals" while portraying the G20 protesters as "activists simply trying to have their voice heard".

The media and these commie rioters sicken me. I hope all of these animals feel the sting of rubber bullets, pellets, pepper spray and the business end of a baton before being shipped to cuba in a cargo container.
