Anti-war demonstration at CMU facility ends in 14 arrests
2007-03-04
An anti-war demonstration that resembled a small street circus, complete with a band and trapeze artist, resulted in 14 arrests outside Carnegie Mellon University's National Robotics Engineering Center in Lawrenceville yesterday.

Those arrested had blocked 43rd Street near a back door of the center. Police took hours to remove them because they had chained their arms to each other inside PVC pipes.

Six others chained to the front gate were left alone because it was private property and CMU did not ask for them to be removed, police said.

#7  Typical leftist behavior - irritate the he$$ out of people not involved, do absolutely no good, and yet get that great "feel-good" feeling from "sticking it to the Man", even though all they did was cause a few cops to work overtime.

I've got a bad knee from doing something stupid when I was a teen. It hurts like he$$ quite frequently now. Use an axehandle on their kneecaps, and see how often they participate in these "protests" in the future.

LOL! Give that CMU administrator a ceegar! They'll be begging their buds for the keys when Nature calls...

#4  Given the weather conditions, the authorities should have just hosed them down with water and let hypothermia set in. Then taken their time unhooking the miscreants.

#3  Use a taser on one, see if the chain conducts to others next to him, repeat until they WANT to gse out of those chains, bet there's an easy way inside those PVC Pipes.

#1  It's a pity that vomit gas is no longer commonly available. It would be hilarious to see a bunch of chained up protesters throwing up all over each other.

Maybe give them a bunch of vegetarian coffee sweetened with ipecac.

Oh, and try the organic Ex-Lax brownies.
