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.

The protesters are getting their voices heard, albeit in a violent manner. Every G20 summit has always attracted ‘anarchist’ thugs like these.

Are you happening to be a Pittsburgh resident?

Did anyone else see the person with the American flag and the ‘Don’t tread on me’ banner beneath run towards the walking hippies? They stopped on the sidewalk and just stood there.

I just love watching the supporters of anarchy...

...wearing matching outfits,
chanting slogans in unison,
carrying identical (black) flags.

Do they realize how foolish their movement is?

Looks like an expensive staged show for commie news and socialists to me. They cover this but not a million people peacefully protesting big government. BTW the G20 has socialists in it as well. Mrs. Obama had dinner for their wives. Overlords come in all political persuasions.

I happened to catch a “Let’s Go Pens!” when the local news was showing film of the protestors and their signs. There, amid all the super-seriousness of the professional protestors, were Pittsburghers reminding everyone of what was most important in this town. Global warming and anti-capitalism be dammed - we want another Stanley Cup!
