What does the first ammendment say, again?

Oh yeah...

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

This from the G20 in Pittsburgh.

First off, I don't know what happened before this video, but based on the posture of the crowd and police, my guess is that it was similar to what is shown, shouting, assembling, etc... I don't detect violent behavior by the public.

Assuming that was the scene...

Is shouting peacable? What made this gathering/protest different than past protests in which police intervention was not required? Who is gathering inside the G20? Why are they so sensitive? Makes me wonder what this country will look like if the American public ever gets off the couch to voice opposition to public policy en masse? Although, you gotta admit, if ever there was a group that was a threat to national security, these students are it.

For anyone looking for a niche career...Non violent protest trainings.

Thanks to Zero Hedge for the quote and youtube link.
