Chicagoans Join Activist Convergence on G20 in Pittsburgh

G-Infinity!The G20, an economic forum from 19 countries and the European Union, is holding its September 2009 summit in Pittsburgh. The summit and the city have crystallized as a flashpoint for activist efforts on the economic crisis, the climate crisis, and many human rights crises.

Police and deputies have repressed, attacked, and harrassed the thousands of activists who have converged in Pittsburgh for the G20 protests and the assorted events organized nearby. Chicagoans are also entering the fray, covering the protest preparation.

"The summit and the city have crystallized as a flashpoint..."

This is not activism. This is sport.

These stupid pieces of shit think they can mask up and start destroying property. Nothing but socialists, commies and other juvenile scum. They need to be repressed, attacked and arrested and prosecuted.

Until the lights comed on again all over the world, the way forward will of necessity abolish the pollution and all attempts to legalize it. That is what will stop climate change and allow the non-pollution solutions to take place. Electricity from wind, tidal, and solar power.

Did someone really just use "socialists, commies, and juveniles" as an insult? Ya'll are rediculous. Burning rome was sport, taking down the berlin wall was sport, and yes, giving police an earful and a fistfull is also sport. God knows they deserve it. So why don't you crawl back into your hole and quit complaining about what people are risking their asses for?

Sorry guys for posting my vocal support for wanton police violence and the wholesale violation of people's rights...

So you won, I take it? The police bailed and global governance by consensus ruled the land?
