It's Helloween night, it's a Hell of a sight
In the hood when the freaks come out at night.
Monsters and ghouls embodied by fools
In the shadows and the alleys of shut down schools
Doing the Devils work carrying the Devils tools
In waist bands "Glocks", to protect Hell's rocks
Snaps and fiends are like zombies as they walk the blocks
The Vampires don't suck necks here, they suck c*cks
A buck fifty to your face, snatch your jewels that's fake
looks like Freddie Kruger slashed you, and you was wide awake
or so you thought, the American dream has turned into a nightmare,
Nobody fights fair, you have no rights here
Haunted crack houses missing windows and stairs
Helloween is one long night, 365 days of fear round here
Devils night, Devils night, What A Hell of a night
Get money, get money, there's no wrong or right
Our morals get lost when the money gets tight
Razor blades in the apples, poison the candy
They give to the children, Devils night how dandy
Sweet treats to rot teeth or Turn tricks for nose treats,
If you run to the church you'll have to run from the priests
Run to your bedroom, hide under the sheets
But you'll never escape the evil that's under your bed
Redd up Pittsburgh, Red, Red, Red!

"Use The Force Luke" - Storm Troopers Occupy Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said that the level of security that we are seeing in the streets of Pittsburgh is normal for the G20 and these type of events, however I am from New York and have never seem a city locked down like Pittsburgh is locked down right now. The city is like a ghost town right now. Boarded up businesses and residents afraid to leave their homes for media driven fear of the protesters or intimidation from the massive display of military power by an occupying force that looks like a scene from "Clone Wars" in the Star Wars Universe. It's ironic that with the amount of metal cages surrounding the David L. Lawrence Convention Center and Downtown Pittsburgh our city can once again can make the claim of "Steel City". Way to run "The Steel Curtain Defense" Pittsburgh!
I was at a March in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh today and I saw one of the largest gatherings of Police/troops that I have ever seen domestically, I saw nothing like what I saw today at the The United Nations, The Million Man March, The Millions More Movement, nor President Obama's Inauguration. I haven't seen anything like this in Post 911 New York. Sheer numbers of heavily armed officers in full riot gear, complex tactical crowd dispersal maneuvers, flash bangs, tear gas and cutting edge audio technology were used to totally smash the un-authorized protest.
Police also fired rubber bullets and teargas in Oakland area of Pittsburgh. Mostly at University Of Pittsburgh Students! According to Councilman Bill Peduto Cathedral of Learning surrounded, police giving dispersal orders, helicopters flying low w/ searchlight most of Fifth all Forbes Ave. closed.
Black Hawk and Chinook Helicopters, Gunboats, Armored Humvee's, at least two Lenco Bears, Secret Command Posts, The Secret Service, The National Guard, Coast Guards, Swat Teams, State Troopers, National, City and County Police, Transit Cops, Security Guards and I swear that I heard the Darth Vador Music play when these guys marched by:
Talk about "Star Wars Defense" Systems!
I can't wait to see the numbers of lost money by the downtown business's that the city begged to stay open during the G20 summit only to see their customers "fenced off".
$20 Million for G20 security, nothing for the "Woman's Walk For Peace" on Oct. 3rd on the North Side. http://www.womenswalk.org

Pittsburgh Welcomes The World! Good Morning Vietnam!!!!!
Pittsburgh Welcomes The World!
Good Morning Vietnam!!!!!
Media Fear Tactics, Steel Cages, Blackhawk & Chinook Helicopters, armored Humvees, & Secret Command Posts. Just another day living in the hood.
With three successful non violent G20 protests under our belts Jasiri X and I venture out into the streets of Pittsburgh today to cover the G20 from our perspective with a little more concern. I went to bed last night to the comforting sounds of sirens and helicopters. The site of fresh razor wire on The North Side, steel cages being erected downtown, Black Hawk & Chinook Helicopters overhead, armored Humvees and Thousands of Police Officers, State Troopers, Homeland Security Officers, The National Guard and the Secret Service gave Pittsburgh the feel of a city under occupation.
Media reports of the Secret Service's "Secret Command Center" (http://www.wpxi.com/politics/21069145/detail.html) add to the fear and intrigue: According to Channel 11 "It's A War room" and "Channel 11 was sworn not to reveal its location". The heavy Military and Police presence combined with dire Media reports have spread fear and confusion throughout Pittsburgh. Despite peaceful protests so far local folks are afraid and angry at the prospect that today's un-permitted protest "March on the G-20" and Friday’s “Day of Action” will be violent and unruly.
According to Tim Schooly of The Pittsburgh Business Times: http://pittsburgh.bizjournals.com/pittsburgh/stories/2009/09/21/daily42.html An independent threat assessment report by a Dallas-based firm called The Densus Group ranks today’s March on the G-20 and Friday’s “Day of Action” as having the highest risk for disorder for the Pittsburgh Summit.
Called the G-20 Pittsburgh Report, the Densus research rated the threat of disorder for the Thursday march from Lawrenceville to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center as “high” and described it as “likely to be the most violent event of the week.”
