Quoting: CallMeEpicIfIFailIn other countries the soldiers would open fire on you if similar events took place. I agree. The military as well as the protesters showed great restraint.

Pretty amazing. If that had been Iran... when that was Iran, they just shot the protesters until the were either dead or had fled for their lives. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |
