The Gangs of Pittsburgh
Before we get all teary-eyed about what’s going on with the police handling (which even on tape looks rather mild compared to the abuse they’re receiving) to the  anarchist demonstrations in Pittsburgh with cries of “does this look like America?” – let’s take a look at the footage first: Oh, not what you expected?
Netanyahu: ‘Have You No Shame?’
