Yesterday protesters began to demonstrate the G-20 Summit being held in Pittsburgh Pa.
Police discharged tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd to quell rioting. Besides carrying signs many wore black hoods and a variety of anti establishment garb.
A dumpster was over turned. They threw rocks at police officers and smashed windshields. The police were forced to engage in bodily contact and restraint. The News reports vary as to the number actually arrested.
The demonstrations are taking place protesting capitalism. Participants number between 3-4,000 and were clearly out to make a statement. Some reports indicate that throughout yesterday and into today 66 were arrested.
I'm somewhat confused.
All those thousands of 9/12 sign carrying, dangerous gun toting radicals, racists, hate mongers, teabaggers, birthers and other malcontents were peaceful.
They gathered to make a statement of protest. They were dressed in red, white and blue t-shirts displaying patriotic or political statements.
Tens of thousands protesting in a civil manner. Reports are they even assisted picking up their own trash.
You watch two demonstrations.
One has underpinnings of being pro Capitalism but anti-government. It is peaceful and conducted with dignity.
One is anti capitalism and the participants are an angry violent mob.
Which group appears to be the dangerous radicals in your opinion?
