Seriously... all I get from the 9-12 and tea party crowd is "government is bad, government is too big, personal responsibility, etc"... _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

So, I spent the early evening in the Brentwood area which is not too far from the Allegheny County Airport. There were sooo many helicopters flying overhead. Surveillance? Dignitary transport? Dunno, but it was weird. _________________ -amom

Boo, worked closed down for 2 days. Smallman Street! So in an effort to get away, he went to Detroit to see a couple of old friends. He left one loony bin for another! |

My friend in Pgh told me today that they've seen windows of businesses busted out in their neighborhood. There were protesters marching up their street this afternoon with several law enforcement helicopters hovering overhead.
Though she's po'd by the protests, she said she was glad she could show her kids the protesters marching in their street. She used it as a lesson on our freedoms of speech & assembly, pointing out that in many other places in the world such protests are prohibited. _________________ "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." ~Martin Luther King Jr.

Anyone else watching the news? Oakland seems to be a gathering point with most of the people standing around watching what's happening but not realizing they are a part of it. Once the police start with the tear gas, maybe they'll get it. Just go home already. It's bedtime. _________________ -amom

Sheesh - got this message earlier from my friend in Pgh: Quote: | just saw a PITT student get whacked on the back with a billy club for no apparent reason while walking away from the Cathedral with her bike in a group of other students, and then arrested when she turned around yelled at him for hitting her... grrr.... While the cops were messing with the students who were just watching the show, the anarchists broke a bunch of windows at businesses on Forbes. |
This has got to be tough on the cops, let alone the residents who are just trying to go about their day. i was involved in lots of street protests back in the day and we were never violent. Loud, yes. Violent or destructive, no. We were also trained to be as respectful to the police as possible - they're just trying to do their jobs. _________________ "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." ~Martin Luther King Jr.

Oh, yes, my junior socialist pig kids......let's go out and bust a few windows of business owners (they're capitalist pigs anyway)....burn a few cars, bust some water plugs......it's just a way of protesting and showing we have freedom of speech......

This story says she threw her bike at the officers and was then arrested. No mention of why she threw the bike...

See my post from last night during the 11:00 news. I agree with Phony. Pick up and go home. Don't become part of the problem. _________________ -amom
