#Occupier Drives Stolen SUV Up Steps & Into Entrance of Pittsburgh Convention Center; Flees Scene

He said the SUV was loaded with explosives.

(WTAE)

A Pittsburgh Occupy protester drove a stolen SUV into up the steps and into the doors of the convention center. He said there were explosives in the car before fleeing the scene.
MSNBC reported:

An SUV was driven up the front steps of the downtown PNC Firstside Center and hit the entrance of the building on Tuesday afternoon.

Sources told Channel 4 Action News that, as the driver of the Hyundai Santa Fe fled the crash scene, he claimed to be with Occupy Pittsburgh and said there might be an explosive device inside the vehicle.

“He came down here and he stopped at the stop sign, and then he went straight up into the building. He didn’t go fast,” witness Ashley Corek said. “And then he got up and walked out, and then went up the street. That’s it.”

Pittsburgh police cordoned off the area for a while and set up a perimeter while a bomb squad unit investigated, but no explosives were found.

Take prints. And there should be a huge trail of DNA from the slime trail he left.

Then prosecute him for Terrorism. His act, and what it represented to people who saw it and were in the area, certainly could have engedered terror.

Expect more of this facist behavior as we approach the election. The Lib-Cong are scared. Let’s keep them that way. Remember all of this when you vote.

It’s wonderful to see the continuing display of self-esteem among our superannuated adolescent youth.

In another, benighted age, this self-esteem would have been misunderstood as the acting out of self-centered, self-interested and self-important sociopaths.

We are so over all that now.

Aren’t we fortunate?

Too bad our media don’t call these occupiers what they are: tools of the democrat establishment. This is Obama’s ‘army’ he talked about in ’08. As we move towards November, I hope the vast majority of people will see all these events (and there will be more) for what they are – democrat rabble-rousing, and vote GOP. Remember the riots in ’66-’68 and the Chicago rioting during the ’68 democrat convention? The election result: Nixon (R) won.

sounds like a test to see what the reaction would be. they’re increasingly more violent and extreme. its going to be a long, long spring and summer that will make 1968 look like a cake walk unless the authorities start taking this very seriously and do that right now!! (they should have done that last year, but didn’t)

The left’s turn to violence is proof positive they are trembling at the reality they are losing.If conservatives turn out for the primaries & caucuses to stop the RNC’S propaganda juggernaut, praetorian guard leftist media’s drive to select Mittens and nominate someone who will call Ozero to task. The left knows it will be obliterated at the polls in November by any Republican but their media anointed template candidate the lily livered, stiff-necked, cucumber & mayo sandwich muncher Romney.

Why waste the money. The Monogahela river is only about 300 yards from this building.
Agree with cement boots
