[cyclonefence]

9. Go stand in the corner.

[mopinko]

2. yup. tear gas flying.

fights breaking out. our buddies in black seem to be there.

[HipChick]

3. At least Drumpie can't blame the Dems for this..

[Leith]

5. Sure He Will

And his deplorable base will believe it.

[gratuitous]

6. Or can he?

President Trump seems to have an inexhaustible supply of misinformation at his stubby little fingertips. If he finds out about the Lindbergh Baby kidnapping, he'd blame it on Democrats.

[MineralMan]

4. Sadly, Trump will never see any of it.

We all will, though.

[HipChick]

7. Apparently the helicopter flew over it..

I guess he could not look down

[MineralMan]

8. It scares him to look down.

He looks at his cell phone to keep from being anxious.

[samnsara]

10. wow its like the Battle in Seattle!

[lindysalsagal]

11. Europeans really know how to protest and strike.

I hope some concise statements can make it through to the msm and on air.

[Alea]

12. Are those soylent green trucks?

NM, water cannon trucks

[onecent]

13. Thank you for telling me about this....

14. Black clad protestors in Hamburg in late 80s

There was a large 'squatters' movemrnt in Hamburg and West Berlin. IIRC there was a housing shortage and young people lived in abandoned or closed buildings. A major site of such protests was the Hafenstrasse area in Hamburg.

About the same time there were major on-going protests in Hamburg when a large housing area was demolished to build a theater complex for the near permanent performance of Les Miserables. When I first heard about the black bloc in the Seattle protests, I thought they had come from Germany.

15. I wonder how much this costs local governments?

[Skidmore]

16. I'm never sure

how much these types of protests accomplish. I think local protests here have made points. To people looking in from outside, it may look chaotic and not goal directed. With that many countries participating, some education helps.

[AntiFascist]

17. What I saw looked very peaceful, even the ones dressed in black standing in front facing police...

UNTIL a tear gas bomb exploded right next to some peoples' heads, then MSNBC cut to a commercial break. It seems like the protesters should be the ones wearing helmets and armor.

[ancianita]

18. It's about time.

Today, MTP on MSNBC is doing a good job of coverage.

Guess which media 45 is calling fake news today.
