The extent of the victim\u2019s injuries are not known. The driver of the van made no attempt to ascertain the condition of any of the people that were struck. Witnesses watched as the van passed through the phalanx of police surrounding the scene and drove away from the area. Had there been a civilian driving, they would certainly have been charged with a hit-and-run on a pedestrian in the roadway and taken into custody once they had been apprehended. No order to disperse had been given to the crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#0000ff\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prisonplanet.com\/desktop-view-nato-protests-in-chicago-police-van-drives-into-protesters-web-video-reporters-detained-held-at-gunpoint-photosvideo.html\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff\">Source<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOccupy\u201d movement participants and an array of protest groups are among those gathering in Chicago this weekend to demonstrate outside the NATO summit.
