Reports of smashed shop windows, torched cars in Italy, where "the indignants" or "Occupy Rome" appear to have taken on the extra vitriol after Silvio Berlusconi narrowly remained in power Friday.
Police expected about 100,000 people to protest, including a number of "black bloc" anarchists.

I just dare the OWS freaks to go there in this nation.
Romans do know how to protest - we were once caught in a gay-lesbian-bisexual communists protest - it was HUGE! Italy is always memorable.
I imagine that they will.
Soros, the unions, and Obama the organizer are organizing a communist revolution.
That is exactly what this is, and I suspect it’s going to have to be dealt with.
LOL.
The Italians and the Greeks. I’d add the South Koreans to that list as well. The Germans....well, they like “ordnung” (order) for the most part, though from time to time things get a little hand out of hand. The Czechs are generally pretty polite protesters.
Yeah, Italy is always memorable....nice country. Always wanted to live there, especially in Rome.
The little problem with revolutions is that someone ends up getting killed.
Wonder how many of these brats will risk their life because they have a stick up their rear over some company makes lots of money?
Yes, you are right, and that’s where this is headed I think.
I think we can assume and/or predict how RudyG would have handled the violence or would demonstrators already fear the famous ex-mayor and keep it "civil"?
I ask the question, should demonstrators who are not American citizens, using OUR Constitutional right to free speech, and be revealed [easy to infiltrate as they have media 'the world is watching' egos] infiltrating from the outside; be arrested & sent back to whatever country they crawled over from at their own governments' expense?
After all did not the UK ban Michael Savage?
The problem is our government supports these people.
We elected a communist revolutionary.
We got big ****in’ problems.
So, how’s the Libyan Autumn workin’ out for ya?
Thanks fight_truth_decay.
Oh how Soros and his puppets here and in DC long for this in America
European commies are generally more violent, it appears.
Who caught you? Were you caught red-handed so to speak? Will you out any others at this time? sarc
Exactly. What little we do know about that thug's past certainly reveals that he was part of the Commie-supported underground movement.
This might just be a case were dis-arming your populace as is the case in Europe might prove to be beneficial. Imagine if these mobs were armed. It’d be Libya on steroids.
Well at least we know Mitt Romney can work with them...
“European commies are generally more violent, it appears.”
Making OWC look like kindergarten.
