So this news of 2,000 violent protestors in Pittsburgh is plastered everywhere, and yet the media is still trying to tell you that only 60,000 people showed up for the PEACEFUL 9.12.09 March on Washington, D.C. What do your eyes tell you?
Police embroiled in violent battles with G20 protesters
Anti-G20 protesters rampaged through the city centre of Pittsburgh tonight, smashing up shops and throwing rocks at police, as officers used tear gas and baton-charges in an attempt to bring them under control.
In riots which continued through the middle of the evening rush hour, about 300 protesters were reported to have remained from an initial crowd of 2,000 in Bloomfield, Pittsburgh’s Little Italy.
Frustrated in their attempts to reach the venue where world leaders are meeting, the crowd, many of whom wore face-masks and armed themselves with rocks, broke windows at fast-food restaurants, a BMW dealership and a bank in the area, about a mile from the fenced-off convention centre.
Police in body armour and armed with plastic shields threw pepper gas canisters and fired pellet-filled “beanbags” to disperse the protesters, charging in to make some arrests. Some reports also suggested that rubber bullets had been used.
Earlier, police dispersed the 2,000 people who had gathered during lunchtime for a march. “You must leave the immediate vicinity regardless of your purpose,” officers said, and warned that gas and other “non-lethal force” would be used.
The main clashes took place in the Lawrenceville neighborhood. Protesters threw bottles and police responded by sending up to 10 canisters of tear gas into the crowd. The sharp smell of the gas irritated the eyes and throats of protesters, some of them vomiting as they ran.
Why does the left continue to believe that violence is the way to achieve their goals?

It’s a disgrace what took place in Pittsburgh today. I’m ashamed to say it took place in my state. I just hope they don’t try to blame it on us peaceful protesters.
Today is the beginning. “THEY” used sound weapons on the crowd. It is against that law to use on the insurgents in Iraq, but it is OK to use here on tax paying Americans? Shameful…and just the beginning!
“Why does the left continue to believe that violence is the way to achieve their goals?”
Diamond I think it is all they have, if they can keep the average American off balance and fearful than they have a chance at convincing them that the government is needed to protect them from that kind of protest. The fringe media gladly goes along.
That is why so little coverage of the March on DC, the left would not want the word to get out that you can be a huge peaceful crowd that would inspire Americans rather than scare them.
The thug on the swing is clearly showing his immaturity and most likely considers this a game, like roll playing a video game.
I hope Glenn shows side by side these same pictures, as no one else will , at least not on the air.

These jerkoffs ruined Bloomfield Little Italy Days for us. We’re not going!!!!!!!!! Should changed the dates this year
Reminds me so much of the working class people in the union marches that were ruthlessly fired upon by police in the early 30’s. All of them were either shot in the back or side while running away from police.
The ACLU has something to say!
