Strong protests against G20 and Donnie Two Scoops

Watching live. I see smoke (tear gas?) in the distance.

Protesters in black wearing balaclavas.

2. Frederik Pleitgen of CNN is also wearing a helmet.

I guess the reporters got the memo that things might get violent.

I pray everyone is safe, but I am very proud of our European protesters.

I hear them chanting in the background as the reporter is talking. I wonder what they are chanting.

4. Probably chanting blah blah West is evil, blah blah World Bank is evil, blah truthy to power?

5. He was interviewing a protestor this morning

6. And it's a good thing...he just said that a bottle hit his helmet. nt

7. Wearing Helmut?

Makes sense as a protest against Russian meddling, but wouldn't it be uncomfortable?
