The left doing what they do best
Causing trouble
Demonstrators have clashed with Italian police as protests against the Milan Expo erupted into violence at the start of the fair.
Police responded with tear gas as thick clouds of smoke from burning cars filled parts of the city centre.
Groups of protesters, their faces masked against the fumes, threw stones and faced off against lines of police in riot gear.
The confrontation came hours after a glitzy opening ceremony at the Expo site.
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi had hailed the start of a six-month-long showpiece of culture and technology, focused on the theme of sustainable food production.

Re: The left doing what they do best
But the event had already been tarnished by a corruption investigation that saw several top officials arrested.
Large parts of the site were also not ready for opening day.
The fair, which follows the 2010 Expo in Shanghai, mobilised a diffuse range of left-wing protesters.
The protesters ranged from anti-globalisation and environmentalist activists to anti-austerity campaigners, who see it as a symbol of waste and corruption.
Pope Francis spoke via a televised link-up to the opening ceremony.
He referred to the irony of a global mega-spectacle dependent on corporate sponsorship deals being devoted to sustainable development and feeding the poor.
"In certain ways, the Expo itself is part of this paradox of abundance, it obeys the culture of waste and does not contribute to a model of equitable and sustainable development," he said.
The real protagonists of the event should be "the faces of the men and women who are hungry, who fall ill and even die because of an insufficient or harmful diet," he said.
In all, more than 140 countries are taking part. China, an increasing presence in Italy after a string of high-profile business acquisitions, is particularly well represented.
Umm when was the pope LW
seems this is a corrupt wasteful corporate event by the mega rich to work out how to screw more out of the poor and starving

SO what's the smart-arse attempted insult that Victor comes out with : "The left doing what they do best" ?
AND what exactly IS your point, Victor ~ IF you have one !
Eh bee, with all the square footage left in the cranium from their lack of other activity up there, they use it for storage for junk like this. It happens in many an attic or loft.

A woman threw a Molotov cocktail at three pro-life volunteers who were praying in front of a Planned Parenthood facility in Austin, Texas, Monday night.
