My oh my…this is going to be a wild ride. It’s funny because up until now I dont think most of the residents of Pittsburgh really have an idea what is going to hit them. They think it is like Light up Night or something like that when the Steelers play on Monday Night Football.
It’s already starting…
The anarchists, the communists, the unibomber types are all converging on my fair city. Apparently one of their favorite forms of protest is flinging bags of shit and piss at the cops.
The final tally was only 50k in property damage with a little over a 100 arrests. It went pretty smooth after all was said and done. The problem is there is still a crowd of protestors hanging out by the county jail. The people who were arrested are mostly still being held and the protestors want them released and the charges dropped. Too bad for them that it usually kinda doesnt work that way.
The bike gal is facing a felony charge.
I dont know. I mean she threw her bike at the cop after being repeatedly told to disperse but I’m not so certain you wreck a gals life (that felony shit sticks with every job application forever) because she lost her cool. I have a feeling if she gets off she wont be pushing the envelope like this ever again.
Its funny though because there I was at every intersection where there was a police officer directing traffic I’m standing there like the Beaver waiting for the school crossing guard to give me the OK. The cops have the night sticks and the pepper spray. Being polite goes a long way but then again these were anarchists and I’m not sure if that is a part of their ethos.
The funniest was this situation with these two gals. They came in and busted their ass and set up these posters for sale and then sold them. I’m sure they did well. They identified a good market and offered their Loony Lefty products at just the right time and in just the right place. I would have liked to conduct a social experiment. I would have liked to set up shop right next to them but instead of the commie stuff I would have offered Bill O’Reilly coffee cups, Tim Tebow posters and Rush Limbaugh books. At the end of the day when they had made a bunch of money and I had made none I would have asked they hand over half their money to me because that would be fair.
Im still working out the kinks w the new format as I bring over the last bit of content from the old site. This G20 meeting occurred just after Obama became president.
