Nobody invited the Red Wings to G20

09/24/2009 7:14 PM

This is current events and most likely don't care, but this is for Roger Pink.

The G20 summit opened in Pittsburgh today. The first significant clash between protesters and police occured about 3 pm when several hundred protesters, mostly anarchists, found their way blocked by several hundred police. The marchers refused to disperse, so the police, all in full riot gear, brough up an armored car and began firing pepper gas at the protesters. The protesters started kicking the cannisters back into the police ranks and tried to ram the armored car with a huge steel dumpster.

In the midst of all this, three guys came waltzing up between the groups. Two were carrying a huge banner which said, "Let's go, Pens!" while the third was raising high a replica of the Stanley Cup.

All is well in Pittsburgh.
