Gleen Beck would have said something pithy like....
"Proof positive, that the US, is becoming a socialist country!"

Well the tear gas has started to fly. 8)
Some anarchist group wearing masks started a disorderly march (media reported that some of them were flinging doody 8-P ) but the cops hit 'em back with tear gas and they split.
Seems at least so far most of the protesters are what we here in Picksburgh would call "jag offs".
When some of them (all in the same group) were asked what they were marching for, the answers were:
I'm fighting racism!
I'm fighting capitalism!
I'm fighting for the environment!
Quite an eclectic list. My thought is the more truthful reason is "I'm playing hooky from work or school and I like to party in the streets"....

But hey, why so serious? Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Well by G20 standards the protests were fairly mild, only about $50,000 worth of vandalism of which $30k was done by one jagoff from California. ::)
Biggest protest actually came AFTER the summit, cops arrested about 150 protestors on the Pitt Campus. The air was thick with OC and tear gas. 8)
