#1 IMHO when the black-clad masked idiots show up, so shoud the batans, rubber bullets and tear gas. They are there for one reason and that is to cause chaos and destruction of property. Trust me you start whacking a few of them in the head and they will think twice before they come to the next riot. Anyone know what i up with teh fatigue-clad guys grabbing the protestor? One of them is wearing the old style BDUs (OSI/CID/NCIS?) or possibly a staged event?

#2 From the accounts I've read, it was hilarious. They never got anywhere near the convention center, and they basically just got their asses kicked by the cops.

They made at least two tries at getting around the cops, through the Strip District and the long way through Bloomsfield, Oakland, and I guess eventually Duquesne campus, but didn't try to go through the Hill District. White-boy anarchists too scared of the ghetto to make trouble on the Hill?

Nah, we just lock them up in old warehouses. Google 'Guantanamo on the Hudson' for a HowTo.

#4 Thanks goodness it was only far leftists and anarchists? Imagine the level of violence if it was a crowd of Tea Partyers!

#5 There is a Federal law sating that people cannot appear at protest functions wearing masks. It's a law passed during the early 60's to help combat the KKK. Some one needs to enforce it.

Yeah, but it's all good.
