At least Fox through in a little tid bit for the folks at home. Though I must admit over the past five days PBS Nightly News has been following this stuff, as well as the other major networks on prime time news. Obviously their folks have been limited in what they can broadcast video wise. So in this case I will not be to hard on our L/MSM.
If their not allowed to tape and export the stuff how can they show the American people what is going on from a visual standpoint.
Anyway. Looks like the pot is starting to boil now. Add some more salt to allow the temp range to increase and the final boil will be over flowing the pot soon.
The more reports of the goons killing citizens the harder it will be to control. The army stays quiet.
