When hundreds of protesters descended from tour buses onto Main Street
on Saturday, law enforcement agencies put their riot plan into action.
Sheriff's
deputies and state troopers lined the street, clad in riot gear, with
plastic masks and shields. They had been preparing for this since
President Barack Obama announced in March that the G-8 summit would be
at Camp David.
Four miles away from Camp David, Thurmont
Police Chief Greg Eyler watched the busloads of protesters fill the
town square to demand a change in government for Ethiopia. They said
they have not been able to get their message out, and they came to Thurmont because the media were there.
They
decried Obama's decision to meet with Ethiopian representatives. Many
were political refugees whose families and friends continue to live
under a repressive government, they said.

Very little coverage on MSM on this.Maybe because its in Chicago,Home of Obama and Rahm.If it were tea party people-well you know the rest.
The fastest animal in Ethiopia is a chicken that is still alive.
I believe the article said "Camp David", not Chicago.
