eeK NONpeaceFUL demonstrations

First, Lawrenceville had a demonstration (sans permit) that led to confrontations with the police. Tear gas canisters were fired into the crowd, with a masked demonstrator throwing at least two back at the police. People were arrested after being told to disperse.

The windows of the PNC Bank near Paddy Cake Bakery were broken by a demonstrator wielding a hammer. Some of the protesters headed into Shadyside, where they broke front windows at the Boston Market and tore down fencing at a lot across the street. Too bad for the peaceful, nonviolent demonstrators.
