Several college students claim they were trapped and attacked with tear gas on the University of Pittsburgh's campus while they observed the G-20 summit protests in Pittsburgh.
Anarchists were behind some of the clashes with police during the protests, but many students say they were involuntarily caught up in the melee and arrested or tear gassed as police blocked outlets.
In the following video posted on YouTube on Sept. 25, riot police allegedly trapped a group of students on a staircase and launched tear gas at them while they coughed, screamed and desperately tried to escape:

Ping.
The anarchist rioters led them to places like that on purpose.
They had a plan.
1. Cause violence
2. Blame the cops
Its the same MO they always use.
Unless the police side of the incident is up front, I have no inclination to read further.
What were the parasites up to to "tweak" the cops?
Its is good that some innocent students were not killed.
Considering the deaths at Kent State and the resulting boost it gave to the anarchists, it would be a shame if the same thing happened again
They had a plan.
Exactly, and these super smart college stoodents fell for it hook line and sinker.
Note to youts and stoodents: When you see a "peaceable demonstrator" wearing a gas mask over a ski mask and body armor, throw something a the cops and then duck behind the banner you are carrying, you need to be far, far away from him very quickly, patsy.

"Cops were itching for a confrontation"
They were not “innocent” students at Kent State, they attacked the National Guard. Guard (unfortunately) were very limited in their response. They could have really given the commies a message if they would have responded correctly.
This stairwell?

Son, there are just some places ya don’t need to be. An anarchist rally is one of them.
“concerned emotional youth”
Yup.
Just another Saturday night in Alston.
I watched the video of the kids in the stairwell on Youtoob. They apparently saw “riot police versus anarchists” as a spectator sport, and got caught up in it.
They mostly looked like naive college kids whose survival instincts didn’t include information about not standing in front of a heavily armored line of police.
You mean like the kid who was walking to the library a half a block away? That guilty kid?
