the caption says they are in front of the Embassy in Manila, the firearm is probably in the hand of either an Embassy guard or filipino paramilitary police. it is not unusual to see fully auto weapons in this part of the world

That poster looks like it was done by a professional graphics person.

Or what ever you call that.

Never seen one of our Freepers with such a clear clean home made sign, right?

The gun in question is an AirSoft gun. It's a realistic-looking toy that shoots little plastic beads about hard enough to break through a sheet of tissue paper.

I've seen this pic and others during the day of these demonstrators holding AirSoft guns. Notice the orange ring of paint at the muzzle of the toy.

By the way, these AirSoft guns are often mistaken for the real thing because of their realistic look at a short distance. Some of you might recall how the NYPD displayed dozens of these toys at a press conference after they'd confiscated them from some young adult that was pointing them at passersby. The media covering the story made it out to be that they'd taken dozens of illegal machineguns off the streets of New York, but it was quite obvious that they had nothing but dozens of realistic-looking toys and knew it.

Where do they get the idea they have a “RIGHT” to anything?

Does their “Right” to it give them to right to make me pay for it

So the "Burmese people have a right to clean water, food, etc". Fine. I will not interfere with their buying those items on the free market.

What? They demand that I PROVIDE those items to them out of my pocket? No, you do not have the right to demand things out of my pocket. Or rather, you can demand and I can laugh at you

On the white sign at the bottom it is probably FBC-Phils.

Members of Free Burma Coalition-Philippines (FBC-Phils)

I expect they made the signs.

[Bobarian]

Gee, do Burmese people also has the right to have good grammar?
