"Hijack?"

Really?

The Media Bias on display here is breathtaking.

First of all, these "peaceful protests" were not "hijacked."

That is who these people are: Marxist, Leftist, Socialist scum.

Secondly, take a look at the photo that AP and NPR have lead with - it is clearly photoshopped to protect the identity of the violent thug (see his black "mask"), and they even drew black "underwear" on him so he didn't look worse!

Finally, remember how quickly the media "linked" Conservatives to the wacko anarchist shooter of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, and they did so in the first 2 minutes of every wire story?

Incredible!

Italian riot police fired tear gas and water cannons Saturday in Rome...

I can think of something more effective to use to make sure these people don't disrupt the peace again.

Elsewhere, hundreds of thousands nicknamed "the indignant" marched without incident in cities across Europe, as the "Occupy Wall Street" protests linked up with long-running demonstrations against European governments' austerity measures.

A group known as "The Mildly Annoyed" seriously thought about attending, but had to do laundry, wash hair, clean the hamster's cage, pay some bills, etc.

These aren’t the rioters you’re looking for.

Exactly... This was no “hijack”, the Italians participating in these demonstrations are not “peaceful” to begin with. And anyone involved in these “protests” who actually believe they are starting a “non-violent” revolution are woefully ignorant - they ARE the “useful idiots”.

That is kind of an odd photo. Is the guy even there and why is the can behind him if he’s throwing it in the fire?

That’s why I say let these occu’peers stay on the parks undisturbed. Before long they’ll start eating their own which is all we ask anyway!

"Downtown Rome"? Has the idiot who wrote this piece of garbage ever actually been to Rome? Well, I have, and there is no "downtown Rome".

I read that they were rioting in the square at Saint John Lateran. That church is in my opinion the most beautiful in Rome, maybe the world, and I would have no trouble or qualm with firing a machine gun into any crowd of "protesters" who threatened it -- none whatsoever. Critics of my attitude will recall our Lord's reaction to a similar rabble (cf. Mark 11:15–19, 11:27–33, Matthew 21:12–17, 21:23–27, Luke 19:45–48, 20:1–8, and John 2:13–16).

I suspect that the mask is his black t-shirt wrapped around his face.

The MSM has been pushing this “movement” since day one. It’s no surprise that they would continue to lie
