Pitt Protests

Well at least they finally got a permit and behaved themselves. Stop giving the cops a reason to bush yer damm noggin....

PITTSBURGH (AP) - A few thousand demonstrators have stopped their march on one of Pittsburgh's bridges and are shouting toward the Group of 20 meeting site from afar.
The protesters have stopped on the Andy Warhol Bridge and turned toward the David L. Convention Center, which is a few hundred yards upriver. They are shouting toward the building and addressing their opposition to what's happening inside.

One woman on a bullhorn is yelling, "Power to the people, not the G-20."

Seven Coast Guard and city police boats are underneath the bridge, keeping an eye on protesters.

The march has a city permit and organizers have pledged to keep it nonviolent.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but I wasn't under the impression that the first amendment required permits for the right to peaceably assemble.

I imagine we will soon be required to obtain a permit to exercise free speech.
