But apparently not when such protests end up at his front door.

What are the details?

The station said a massive protest took place in front of Peduto's residence Tuesday night and lasted all night. There was a siren going off, KDKA said, and protesters banged drums, blew horns, and used megaphones to express their desire for the mayor's resignation after the Saturday arrest of 25-year-old Matthew Cartier, who was taken away in an unmarked van by plainclothes officers.

Indeed, a number of protesters spent the night, the station said, adding that there were mattresses along the sidewalk.

Jesse Seager — co-owner of Point Brugge Cafe, located just steps from the action — told KDKA that at one point around 300 people were on the street.

"There definitely are neighbors that are scared," Seager noted to the station. "I talked to multiple neighbors that left for the evening that have kids, that have elderly people in the house."
