(original title, had to be shortened to fit):Bloodbath in Cairo: More than 120 dead and 1,000 injured after police 'shoot to kill' in violent clashes which have rocked Egypt
More than 120 people are believed to have been killed at a protest in support of Egypt's ousted President Mohammed Morsi, according to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Security forces are reported to have started shooting demonstrators shortly before pre-dawn morning prayers at a round-the-clock vigil in Cairo being staged by backers of Morsi, who was removed from power by the army three weeks ago.
Makeshift field hospitals around the area near the Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque were overwhelmed, with one doctor telling the BBC that more than 1,000 had been injured.

My father was career Navy, but before that he was US Army.
A memorable bit of his Army training was riot duty. They were trained to shoot the leader and shoot to kill.
This was the US Army training for American riots.
Yes a long time ago. He was later just home on shore leave 7 Dec 1941.
Hey Bender maybe Obama want keep up the riot until Al Jazeera America go online until August 20 then he step in the ratings
Money, bribes, kickbacks
Pi$$ poor shooting indeed——That’s reminding me of the incident in India when the Brits weren’t ready to leave yet and a bunch of Indian protesters confronted a Limey platoon. the Brits had 400 rounds of ammo and eliminated 399 rebels. The Brit Colonel apologized to the investigating Parliamentary committee for the unaccountable miss “no excuses sir, one of us just missed”.
It’s worth recognizing that the Egypt military has a serious axe to grind with the Morsi’s. The Army pretty much runs the industrial side of the economy and Morsi was putting it into the terlet. Tourism, their biggest cash draw, was/is pretty much dead, and the Army is going to have trouble meeting payroll. And notice the difference in the crowds: Morsi’s are scruffy old bureaucrat type guys with baggy pants who really don’t have the oomph to put up much of a fight and are most likely really skeered for their kushy jobs.
As long as the MB savages are allowed to stir trouble there will be no peace. 120 out of 1000 is really bad shooting so I’m calling BS on the “shoot to kill” lie. The muslim brotherhood needs to be eliminated.
Look more closely at the crowds. Both the Army and the anti Mubarraks are highly westernized, right down to their Nikes. It’s only the Morsi’s who are the retro knuckle dragging, baggy pants, 12th century types. Over the long haul I’m betting on the young crowd to run out of patience with the flying carpet bunch.
Behold, I am Set, the creator of confusion, who creates both the tempest and the storm throughout the length and breadth of the heavens.

That's another valuable viewpoint, while a little loose in the economic definition, the Army responds to the producers rather than the self appointed Islamic elite betters, too good to produce, destined to live lavishly in exchange for issuing suicide bombing orders.
How do you know? What are the real numbers?
In all societies, if the underclass is allowed to grow, it will eventually decide to seize power and try to enslave the middle class. Underclasses need continual pruning.

And this is to be believed, why?
Maybe they aren’t as influential as you think. Not sure about toy, but this whole idea that Jews control the world that libertarians tend to spew is laughable.
Excellent observation - can we believe anything the Lamestream reports without confirmation?
WoW....
...”can we believe anything the Lamestream reports without confirmation?”....
No.
The Shiites will retaliate with great vengeance. The entire thing is Sunni/ Shiite. WE are so stupid that we don’t have a clue— do we? The Sunnis are our enemy. The Shiites have done nothing against us— WTC— Hassan Nidal, the terrorist murderer at “Fort Hood” ( a great confederate hero). — The “shoe bomber”— on and on ==- ALL SUNNI!!!Wake up please.It Is Arabian Sunnis. like osama bin laden.
