World leaders arriving in Pittsburgh Thursday for the G-20 meeting received a raucous, and at times violent, welcome. Many self-identified anarchists filled the streets surrounding the convention center; police fired canisters of pepper spray, smoke, and rubber bullets to subdue people attempting to march; and there were reports of at least 17 arrests.

We haven't broken any laws."
