Pittsburgh Riot Police Trap University Students on a Staircase and Deploy Chemical Weapons

These are students who were in their dorm acting peacefully, bothering no one, and the police used tear gas on them.

What’s good enough for Honduran scum peasants is good enough for these anarchists. Same goes for the libtard students. Should have shot them all. Tear gas was too easy for these punks.

There is no way the police could have been gassing students in the dormitories. I attended Pitt and lived in the dorms. There are security doors leading to the dorm buildings. You need to show ID and be buzzed in. This probably happened somewhere else on or near campus.

If you come to Pittsburgh to go to school, get an education, learn some respect, fine. If you cause problems, the Pittsburgh Police are a force you don’t want to mess with. Otherwise, it’s best you go to Berkley!

Come on over and I'll break your friggin legs for disagreeing with me, you cretin.

The above is a grammar example of the proper spelling of "break", as in "Give me a break."

A brake is something you can buy at an auto parts store.

Uhhh... are you delusional? They weren’t “in their dorm” they were on the street or on the balcony where rioters were throwing rocks at the police. They weren’t attacked by “chemical weapons”.

If you went to Pitt you know eactly where it happened because that pedestrian overpass is the first thing most notice coming into the Pitt campus.

Interesting how some people immediately jump to a particular conclusion based on this confusing, chaotic video.

If it turns out these kids really were just innocent observers, I would hope that people posting on "Free Republic" wouldn't continue to cheer for the way they seem to have been treated. Sadly though, that is probably hoping for too much.

Just what is the purpose of these anarchist tantrums and who is behind them. These are not spontaneous demonstrations, they have to be financed somehow.

In this case I'd ask the local democrat organization, or the 'campus democrats' at the university. I'm sure that they could help straighten this out.

OK...I watched the video. This is the area outside some of the dorms and the Student Union building. The walkway leads to the University’s Hillman Library.

“At the hands of heavily armored American storm troopers? “

Absolutely. The commies wreak havoc without consequences. I’m glad Pittsburg roughed them up.

These moronic trust fund babies are pathetic. Looks like they staged most of it themselves. Did you notice how many of them had cameras? Looking for their 15 minutes of fame on YouTube.

The brat at the end looked none the worse for wear. Nevertheless, he will have Daddy’s lawyer draw up a complaint against Pittsburgh P.D.

Bring back the draft and put these soft adolescents in uniform. Send them over where the real fighting is.

When my brother was that age, he was fighting and dying in the jungles of Saipan.

Such poseurs!

Doesn’t it seem that these anarchist riots always seem to happen in Democrat controlled cities?

Most Pittsburghers are extremely fond and respectful of our police force. We were glad that they were there to protect the locals from these hooligans.

I learned all I needed to know about the honesty and intelligence of this crowd while watching Hannity interview a couple of them last night.

The idiot who claimed her parents only made 10 grand per year was either lying or an idiot.

In the sixties the leftists would film the riots from the side of the rioters so that they police would look menacing to the viewer. It would look like the police were the aggressors.

"I feel like I'm on fire..."

He didn't look too bad to me.

The stuff they used in the gas chamber at MCRD , now that was some "tear gas". You could hardly get out "From the Halls of Montezuma ", before you were choking, your eyes ran like a faucet and you had copious amounts of snot running out your nose.

The students were not on the street. They were looking down from the balcony at the scene unfolding.

Dumb and unassuming it’s doubtful any had ever been anywhere near the violence of the anarchists.

Not something they will soon forget and for sure their innocence will be gone when they think back on the experience.

Clearly these students were taught that the police are their friends.

Life’s lessons.

First, I see no tear gas in the dorm....they claimed they shot a large number of cannisters lol. Negative. It appears to be residual tear gas from 2 stories down on the street.

I see no students gettng roughed up on the video,,,probably they either chased some wannabe anarchists into the building or the PD got some crap tossed at them from there.

“Should I call my mom?” No, we should call your mom and advise her to save money and send you to community college.

What a bunch of wussies these students are...true Simon Cowell groupies and youtube heros. A joke.

also see @ :12, :17, :43 and :55 seconds

and note in the beginning of this, the announcer’s words...”this is America 2009” or something similar

Perhaps “grundle” ought to send this (back) to Alex Jones....
