current events
The G-20 summit has brought the protesters out of the woodwork, and the protesters inevitably bring the police--approximately one thousand of which are newly deputized in order to deal with this event--as well as the bored people with nothing better to do than be angry, and the end result is the tear gassing of CNN reporters in the Strip and students at my old college, the breaking of windows and setting of fires blocks from where I used to live, the arrest of Greenpeace members who'd taken to dangling from Pittsburgh's bridges, and general destruction and mayhem.

newageamazon got a new camera, and has been getting some awesome shots of the protesters--whether or not what they're protesting makes sense.

And now zen_of_nihilism, at work a few blocks from the center of the latest riot, tells me that some students are being dicks awesome awesomely dickish and throwing the canisters of tear gas back at the cops.



I . . . kinda want to be there to see it. :P
