G-20 welcoming committee

"These assholes don't have a clue what they are doing. They are doing nothing but trying to get their 15 minutes. I am licensed to carry and I hope to hell they start some shit while i'm around, there will be less of them to protest. "

Just in case you buy the progressive spin the Pittsburgh politicians are actively putting out, do not forget that this is a small city built around a proud heritage of labor, asbestos and idiocy. The above quote is one of many on a public forum. These sorts of crazy threats have been around for a few weeks, but in the past few days more and more seem to be coming out of the woodwork.

Should protesters be worried? Should delegates be frightened? Should the police be prepared for craziness? Probably not, but with a reputation for shooting first and asking questions later, and with a few thousand extra police around, the city of Pittsburgh is prepping for an all out assault on civil liberties. By the sounds of the undereducated minority, if the police can't handle the protests, the knuckle draggers among us will be glad to lend a hand.
