Let them protest all they want, I have no problem with that. So far it seems to be a pretty tame crowd. Right now the local news is saying that there is about 5000 protestors. They were expecting 15-20 thousand. Someone is saying that the protestors can't make it because they don't have enough money due to the bad economy. ROFLMAO!
"They can block a street. If someone hits a Humvee, they're not going to go very far," Pagonis said.
Maj. Jimmie Cummings, the Army's public affairs spokesman for equipment and technology, said he could not confirm numbers or types of aircraft or vehicles that will be used during the summit.
On the waterways, the Coast Guard will use 10 25-foot boats that can reach speeds of up to 46 knots, or 53 mph, to patrol a security zone encompassing about four miles of the city's three rivers. M240 machine guns will be mounted to the stern and bow of the patrol boats, which cost nearly $200,000 apiece.

PITTSBURGH -- On the first day of the G-20 economic summit, a large, unpermitted protest march called the "People's Uprising" is going from Lawrenceville to downtown in an attempt to get near the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.
A few hundred participants in the Pittsburgh G-20 Resistance Project -- some of them dressed in black and wearing masks and gloves -- gathered at Arsenal Park and began walking to the convention center at 2:30 p.m.
"Our only permit is our feet and voices," the group's Web site says. The G-20 is in the house throwing a party. Let's crash it."

Sad, that the so call best free country in the world is looking more and more nothing short of a dictatorship.
All those that die for this nations freedom and way of life will be digging themselves out of their graves.
My grandfather and two uncles included.
