"The demonstration was supposed to be peaceful," a contact in Teheran told this reporter. "But the Basiji [militiamen] beat people down like animals."
He said the son of one of his employees, who participated in the rally, compared the scene to the frontlines of a war: "It was like they were beating up dolls. The security forces were out for blood. Hundreds of them charged out of nowhere. The next thing we saw was fire, blood, and clouds of tear gas," he reported.
With Mousavi out of view, and all prominent reformist figures under arrest or also in hiding, the opposition had no visible leadership, another source said. Protesters are now taking off their pro-Mousavi green wrist bands, so as not to attract the attention of the security forces.
"The city is on lockdown, and we are like sheep ready to be slaughtered," said one Teherani in a brief telephone interview. "It is important for us to be prepared and to have protection," he added, implying an effort to obtain arms. "Anyway, 40 days from Saturday's bloodshed" - a key symbolic day of mourning - "we will be ready."

The protesters need to take the weapons away and start using them.
Yes, they do.
And we need to stop tarnishing the term “militiamen” by applying them to ruthless thugs that kill those who want to be free.
While brave Iranians are slaughtered in the street by their own government as they seek liberty, Obama "considers" disinviting Iranian officials to American 4th of July celebration.
Meanwhile, they are axing students to death.

And our illegal-alien, muslim so-called president is hiding in the White House, no doubt down on his knees on a muslim prayer rug facing east, looking for a teleprompter to tell him what to say that won’t piss off the mullahs . . . He’s going to let it “play out” . . . his words . . . what a guy!!!!!!
C’mon Israel . . . do something . . . hope you’re not waiting for the coward in the White House to do anything!!!!!

Kind of like a "civilian security force" if you know what I mean.
End of July. Looks like a long, hot summer in Tehran.
I hope our Gov’t is trying to get arms and ammo to these patriots.
When will people learn? If you KNOW that security forces and thugs are going to come in force to beat up protestors, then either stay home or bring gas cans. If you really believe what you are fighting for, pour the gas on the ground when they run up and light it. Take them with you. If you’re not that committed, then go home. Once or twice like that and they’ll stop running up to beat on people. They will start shooting, though. Other means also exist, but I’ll save them for a later time.
yes, they are brownshirts/ Hezbollah in from Syria, Arab-speaking.
