Both are really good, but its been a week now, and the only national media I saw covering it was the Daily Show.

I'm hoping the ACLU files some lawsuits, and the group of UPitt students organizing on the internet looks promising. We really need somebody to find the identities of that guy getting abducted in the video, though. We also need the identities of those undercover cops dressed as anarchists. It's important to know WTF happened those days so we can know what to expect at the next G20.

It almost looks like Europe gave the martial law-esque behavior more coverage than we did. Of course they have seen communism and other oppressive/tyrannical governments up close and personal more recently than we have. :(

I saw the vid of the student "abduction" and am worried about the guy....unless it was just the cops picking one of their undercover agents up. :eek:

That has been my question as well.
Also is there ANY proof that protesters started any violence/property damage?
Or were the police or agents responsible?

I have gotten no answer,,,
