this is fucking stupid. why lawrenceville??? according to one of my best friends whose family has lived in lawrenceville for generations, these protestors are totally wrecking everything in their path, including houses, cars, et cetera. go protest downtown, or on a campus, or in fox chapel, for god’s sake. this makes no sense to me.

According a correspondent, they haven’t broken anything (those this was from a few hours ago).

Avi Lewis, Al Jazeera’s correspondent at the protests, said: “The people on the streets say that the [economic] emergency is continuing.

“Unemployment is spiralling , house foreclosures are rising, and the notion that the crisis is under control is frankly offensive to many people here.

“Thousands of people took to the streets - including a strong contigent of ‘black flag’ anarchists who, contrary to popular sterotypes, have not smashed a single window nor damaged any property.”
