Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: In a repeat of a scene from Thursday night, police in riot gear confronted another crowd of more than 400 students and young people on the University of Pittsburgh campus last night. An estimated 110 protesters were arrested after hundreds of police arrived and dispersed the crowd with a show of force and clouds of OC gas.

Spoiled rich white kids. If my kid was going to that school and participated in this, he would lose all financing.

It’s Bush’s fault.

I thought the students were manhandled roughly by the police strictly to intimidate them. and frankly it reminded me of the Iranian protests, though the level of violence by the police against the students was more carefully moderated, but rough all the same. Thier rights to free assembly were violated. This isn’t freedom. The police’s military look should alarm us all.

They are just being what their congressman said they were….can’t remember the azz’s name…racists and rednecks

demdicks   September 26th, 2009 - 9:12 pm

Hmmm….. a bunch of spoiled left wingers getting their azzes handed to ‘em by the “fuzz”…since it’s these kind of college retards that stuck us with “dear leader”, I hope they all get pounded.

Funny, the media was on the side of the largely fictionalized Iranian protestors but against the real American protestors. Consistently they come down on the side of the corporations. Fitting since they are corporate media.

It’s like when Andy leaves Mayberry for a day and Barney arrests the entire town.

American Dude   September 26th, 2009 - 10:11 pm

Obama’s america coming to your town.
Can’t you just see it, look ma it’s Marshal law.
And why did the Military, not the police take that kid? all that for vandalism, really?
What’s going on here? That was not an arrest.
They gave a name but is that the truth and will we ever see him on the news, in some kind of interview or reported as just another missing person?

Must watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8CNa_viKg0

Will this be us next?

Freedom of assembly is a right. However, moving through police barricades, vandalism, causing mayhem and inciting to riot are not guaranteed under the constitution. These little socialist punks should have stayed on campus or been at home. Most of them are probably getting funded by ‘guess what’, your tax dollars through grants and loans. If they want to live in a socialist economy so bad they can always move to China or North Korea. Too bad the people teaching our young dont point out the differences between Ideology (believing what is right and wrong) and Principle (knowing what is right and wrong). Be funny if one of these idiots gets waved off by his parents and gets to spend the night in jail. Welcome to Allegheny County Lockup, hope you brought some lube.

Another liberal wacko mob on the rampage. Typical. Why is it every time 3 liberals get together they think it is OK to run screaming through the streets vandalizing private property and whining like little girls when they get arrested for it. LOL And if you ask any of them why they got arrested they haven’t a clue.

Veritas   September 26th, 2009 - 11:42 pm

People should and do have the right to peaceably assemble. As long as it is peaceful and it is not on private property, the government should but out. I don’t care what side of the political spectrum you are on. Now if it becomes violent to any extent, law enforcement must do there job. This guy they interviewed had a bandanna around his neck I guess because he is an out of work cowboy or something. What did he think anarchists do, break out into quilting parties? Look, the reason the Tea Parties have been successful is they have in one voice the truth about America!

pepito cojones   September 27th, 2009 - 12:17 am

Where’s good ole stretchy faced Pelosi when you need her to make claims of unruly mobs taking to the street ?

racerx   September 27th, 2009 - 12:34 am

America’s finished, but it’s still a long way down to the bottom! It’s sad, depressing, and more than a little scary.

Z06   September 27th, 2009 - 12:41 am

wow, breitbart….

what did i say to p.o. your censors???

was it the fact that all the protestos are gay???

aka (fagz?)

It’s good to know high school kids take an interest in politics, too.

JFK'd be in the GOP, and I'm a registered Independent now...Go Sawx!   September 27th, 2009 - 7:01 am

Mark my words: 0bama will go down as the WORST President of the 21st Century (if we last that long under him…and yes, we ARE under him!)

You’ve seen 0bama BOW to the Saudis and you’ve heard 0bama talk cr@p about America AND Americans- I mean HOW MANY MORE TIMES DO YOU REALLY WANNA HEAR 0BAMA APOLOGIZE or say, “I this and I that and I’m the one and I’m special and I’m so verrry cool and I have the NEA making posters of me (at taxpayers’ expense) and I want school kids worshipping me and blah, blah, blah and America sucks, or America is less than satisfactory compared to the rest of the world, or whatever…” Dude sucks!

Do you really think that speech 0bama made to American “schoochildren” wasn’t changed after the story became public? OF COURSE IT WAS! Remember the lesson plans and curriculum designed to ask “What can YOU DO to help HIM!” The Federal Dept of Education (abolish them, please) had to throw that cr@p out before 0bama gave the new and improved (rewritten and toned-down) speech- duhhh!

And now 0bama’s got his Democr@p minions playing the RACE CARD against ANYONE WHO SPEAKS OUT against him! That’s straight-up WRONG and an injustice to actual racism that still does occur (yes, sadly, it does, but don’t expect 0bama to help there- heck, he’s a racist himself (and NOT a supporter of my local police either, by-the-way). Besides, his Democr@p party would lose their Saul Alinsky weapon-of-choice: STOKING THE HATE MERCHANTS! And they ARE good at that! Whew!

And 0bama says with a straight face (he’s verrry good at lying) he had NO IDEA about the money A.C.O.R.N. received- HE’S A D@MN LIAR! OF COURSE HE KNEW! Heck, The “C” and the “O” in A.C.O.R.N. stand for “Community Organizer”- duhhh! And they were slated to get $8.6 BILLION WITH A “B” DOLLARS IN THE STIMULUS! Hello…McFly! Anyone home?

Heck, 0bama didn’t even write ‘his memoir’ Dreams from My Father! The terrorist (and writer) William Ayers did! AND EVERYONE KNOWS THAT! EVEN THE NEW YORK TIMES! Shhh…

Well, all I can say to you 0bama is NO YOU CAN’T! You are SO COMPLETELY FREAKIN’ CLUELESS and OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE that you should be THROWN OUT ON YOUR EAR and IMPEACHED! And THEN do time BEHIND BARS! Yeah, that sounds about right, you USURPER.

Would you really put it past this 0bama character to not be a schemer? Not be manipulative? Not be into all that subterfuge? HE’S FROM CHICAGO! And he’s the ONLY PRESIDENT EVER we really know nothing of…heck, he’s spent MILLIONS of dollars of ‘his own’ money keeping documents, records and his identity hidden from the public- and that’s a FACT! So far, he’s spent more money doing this than the average American makes in a lifetime WORKING FULLTIME! So go ahead and ask yourself this tough question: Who the heck is he REALLY? What the heck is HE HIDING? Or maybe even this one: WOULD HE MAKE PEOPLE DISAPPEAR TO FURTHER HIS (OR SOMEONE ELSE’S) AGENDA? Jeez, that last one is sure as heck a tough one- God forbid…

When did he start saluting the flag again?

Yeah, I don’t trust him…he doesn’t have character- HE IS ONE! And I hope our country survives!

PS- Hey Deval Patrick- politics-shmolitics, what you did was wrong! You crawled so far up 0bama’s arse his stink will be on you for life! And he’ll still flush you when he’s done- duhhh…

Time for Democr@ps to ask themselves if they’ll “walk the plank” for this ‘man’… I say make HIM walk!

PPS- I think the Navy still does keel-hauling… Those barnacles would expose him good!

More miscreants given WAY more print then hundreds of thousands of concerned, tax paying citizens. The only good thing about this is to see the complete contrast between these immature anarchist babies and the wonderful-ness of the Tea Party participants.

Perry   September 27th, 2009 - 9:31 am

The party’s over guys.

Time to go back to living in your mother’s basement.

Stupid, useless, lazy students. TAZE THEM ALL.

****UNDER A MORON KIDS STARVE!*****
Kids Unemployment hits 52% but 75% is more likely. BHO has no idea how to create employment for anyone except his 48 czars and his racist wife 26 “aides”.

All I can say is I am so proud of the 9-12 march on Washington. Hundreds of thousands marched in non-violent protest of obama’s agenda, no destruction, left the place clean. See the difference people? It has to do with being raised proper and being civilized.

joe   September 28th, 2009 - 11:27 pm

These heavy-handed police tactics are the look of a government that is scared. Such a government resorts to fear and intimidation because it has lost the respect and dignity it should work to deserve.
