LIVE: G-20 Protesters In Pittsburgh Streets: Video
—————————————————————
National Guard, police, and other military units attacked American citizens with tear gas and deployed sound cannons today in response to an “unpermitted protest” as bedlam hit the streets on the first day of the G20 summit in downtown Pittsburgh.
The First Amendment is officially dead in the United States. If this isn’t martial law then we don’t know what is. Associated Press photographs show National Guard troops in full fatigues with active duty military running checkpoints that make the roadblocks in Iraq positively friendly. Like Iraq, America is now a conquered nation occupied by troops whose primary function is to oppress anyone who tries to express the freedoms that they once enjoyed.
It all unfolded live on The Alex Jones Show as the Infowars crew called in to the program as sound cannons were turned against protesters who police were attempting to force out of the immediate area.
“According to news agency reports, officers made their announcement over a loudspeaker telling people to leave or face arrest or “other police action,” reports the London Times. These words were broadcast live on the Alex Jones Show today along with police orders that the “unlawful assemblies should immediately disperse”.

Citing Pittsburgh criminal code, police bellowed through loudspeakers that unpermitted protests were a serious offense, an official death knell for the First Amendment.
Corporate media reports will obsess about anarchists causing nuisance without mentioning the fact that the You Tube video below clearly shows police terrorizing neighborhoods with ear-splitting sound weapons that are clearly a violation of all kinds of town ordinances related to public health and noise pollution.
Infowars correspondents reported live how police were “kettling” protesters into confined areas in an attempt to subdue them. Jason Bermas reported seeing mask wearing anarchists, who have been caught before on numerous occasions provoking violence as a pretext for the police to crackdown, throwing objects and tipping over garbage cans.
As we have previously reported, 2,500 National Guardsmen along with Marines and the Air Force are stationed in Pittsburgh to provide “security” for the G20 summit. Their primary training routine revolved around “crowd control” and dealing with civil unrest. The sight of troops on the streets of America, even for routine traffic control and “security” is now commonplace as the land of the free sinks into a militarized police state.
Watch this space for more coverage from Pittsburgh over the next few days. Images and videos appear below.

Hmmm, I dont see any Marines in the pics? You know, a lot of folks see camo, and assume Marines. Its sort of a self fulfilling prohecy. Show up with facemasks and acting aggresively, damaging property, and get teargassed. I see those guys with masks have clubs, wonder what those were for.

The guys with masks and clubs were the government operatives sent in to stir the pot and give the authorities a reason to break up the protest.
Obviously the "protesters" were engaging in an incorrect behavior. What did you want to have happen? Group hug? Singing Kumbyah?
IIRC there was a HUGE protest in Washington a few weeks ago, with people AGAINST healthcare, and there wasn't a single mention of teargas, soldiers, weapons or arrests.
I guess we see who are the peacful demonstrators and who the nut cases are right?

There is no definition for terrorist. Because if there was, the United States could be in that group! -I8URVR6 - "Patriotic Terrorist!"
I don't see the issue. I was watching the national news last night and you could barely hear the anchor because the protesters in the background were screaming through megaphones. They weren't forced to stop by the military or the police.
The only ones that were fired upon with teargas and beanbag rounds and forced back with riot shields were the ones trying to force themselves through the security blockade.
This day in age after 9/11 and all the recent terrorist plots against the US, you can't expect to march straight up to the front steps of the G20 summit and protest on the doorstep.

Your last part is reason why this is wrong. We are so god damn worried about terrorist that we don't give a shit when our rights are violated. If there were active duty troops there with arms that is a huge deal and if there were guard troops there who gave the order to mobilize them? the govenor? Or the g20 delegates.

What rights are violated? If you don't get out of control and start rioting, there isn't a problem. Control yourself! The police, NG and other agencies have a duty to protect people and property.
Think abou this...if YOU owned a store/home/property in the area, and some crackpots came through and got out of control, wouldn't you want it protected?
Peaceful protest/demonstation should be protected and encouraged. Out of control riots and anarchists (yes they are there) should be dealt with swiftly and harshly, without remorse.
In fact don't you see the danger in militarizing our police forces? The guard is not suppossed to be used to police the streets unless there is an emergency and then by gov orders. If the active duty military is there then guess what that is completly wrong! Sometimes you have to stand up for people you don't agree with when the gov does questionable things. I don't give a shit if they were anarchist there or not the video of the LRAD was in a neighborhood and they appeared to be using it to force the residents off the streets without one anarchist in sight. That is bullshit.
They may have a duty to protect people and property but they do not have the right to stop protestors or "snatch" people off the streets.

Lets talk here. I've seen that "snatch" vid, and honestly, as a retired military member, it looks mighty iffy to me.
AS for the Gov calling out the guard, I'm not sure what legal concept was used there, I do see your point, and suspect its a simple matter of math. The protestors can be expected to massivley outnumber the police, and given the violent, destructive behavior at almost every previous G20 summit, he would be remiss in his duty to protect the citizens if he didnt take steps to safeguard them and thier property.
Ive still yet to see any proof of active military forces being involved, so we'll table that.
About the LRAD. If you saw the vid I did, look closely, at one point he pans left, and you get a glimpse of what looks like a crowd on the next raod up, and one on the same road as the LRAD, ahead of it before it turns up the street the cameraman is on. Your judging with far too few facts at your dispoal.
I just find it funny that during all the protests of issues that are critical in my eyes, there happens to be these crazy anarchists showing up. It was proven in the WTO 1999 meeting that black bloc anarchists were used to cause enough havoc for the Washington governor to declare temporary martial law to shut down all protesting in Seattle. Before that happened the police were interviewed on film and told they were ordered to stand down and that they could not arrest the anarchists that were tipping things over and breaking windows. That is fact. I could show you the video of what happened and the officers interviews if you don't believe me.
Since then, these mysterious 'black block anarchists' have been the reason for all kinds of protests of IMPORTANT events being shut down. This isn't the first time it has happened, I've seen a film of anarchists being called out for being police by the protesters that were there, so they voluntarily jump behind police lines when it started to get hot and got 'arrested'.
I also saw a film a good while back of a black block anarchist pepper spraying protesters, only to be arrested by the police, taken around the corner, and the cameraman followed around and the anarchist was uncuffed and just standing there talking to the police.
Hell, the G20 summit meetings have black block anarchists getting protests shut down IN OTHER COUNTRIES. Where do these anarchists have the funding to do that? Where do I sign up??
I can't tell you whether or not that happened in this situation because I haven't seen any of that yet, but I kind of have suspicion for pretty good reason.
