I just wish that the Iranians could SEE these VIDEOS and realize that their NUMBERS so outweight the tyrants henchmen-THAT TO JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD WOULD BE A WIN SITUATION.

BOs idea of not pushing our beliefs on others translates into letting the tyrants kill people like in these videos.

The Police are seriously outnumbered, Probably 1000 to 1

Just show you how even a little fire power can be a deterrent.

Nobody wants to be the fodder in the first wave of humanity crashing the police line.

True——but it is hard to imagine them leaving a scuff up when the numbers are like they are. There are the front line folks who take the brunt...but it would seem that the guard would go RUNNING if it realized that the entire shebang was coming at them.

It also shows how an disarmed populace cannot stand up to the government. This is not a revolution in Iran, it is a protest which will die out. The despots need only wait. The BBC news reports have already switched from shock at the size of the protests earlier in the week to downplaying the size and playing up the sense of “calm”. Meanwhile those that have put themselves out there will be targeted by intelligence agencies and slowly rounded up. The Iranian government doesn’t fear its people as shown by the ability for 15 police to fend off a thousand or more protesters. If they charged the police line it would be over in 30 seconds.

Here is a screen cap from one of the videos. I read earlier today from some tweets that the Iranian military was spraying the protesters with something from the helicopters, some sort of gas that irritated eyes etc.

You can see some white spray coming from this helicopter!!

It occurs in the first ten-eleven seconds of this video.

In case you were wondering if the libs were finding themselves on the wrong side of history...again?

Also at the link above:

“By the way, MSNBC didn’t find it necessary to broadcast any of the news or conflict today, going instead for the highly rated “MSNBC investigates”...”

Hope you are wrong...hope this protest leads to something much more than a die out.

The latest from twitter is not good:

FB friend says: Iran source: there is a military tank in Azadi Square.

OH I HOPE NOT!

Omph ... Last time when the iranians rumbled, Jimmy Carter was in office. No doubt this is history repeating.

Creepy twitter post from #iranelection on twitter:

eruanneRT BasijS marking doors for later attacks. Check doors regularly, and if you see any, wipe it off with BENZIN/PETROL!! #IranElection RT

From following this protest in Iran all day, I have come to believe that the Basij are very feared.

They are militias and morality police; the young folks hate them.
