They burned the protesters tents before they fired those live rounds into the crowd. (They wanted to be sure they could hit their targets and leave them no place to hide).

The two deaths were from snipers firing live ammunition rounds into the protesters crowd.

The military in Egypt was firing rubber bullets at protesters heads. Photos of some of the more than 200 taken to hospitals. Latest estimates are 1114 injured, most treated in Tahrir Sq.

Military dictatorships, even "temporary" ones have always been a bad idea.... what more need be said.

The military has drawn up a plan to secure the elections.

OWS still wants to go and help with their elections.

I knew that was going to happen, sadly.

There's no way the military will let go of their power peacefully.

This may sound paradoxical but if everyone of a certain age bracket were

drafted for a year or so of mandatory military training (including the

upper class!) then things would be a lot more peaceful.

facebook was the enemy of the revolution.
