The mob? You mean the average people, like my uncle, who got sick and tired of Yanukovych lying to them, stealing from them, ignoring what the people wanted in favor of what his Russian masters wanted?
My uncle is a dentist in Kyiv, he like many others got fed up with the government, just fed up. Who was there with him? Students, lawyers, tailors, merchants...these protests were entirely peaceful until Yanukovych had journalists assaulted, beaten to an inch of their lives, sent the secret police after people, began trying to push repressive laws to maintain his grip on power and finally, when it was too late, he wanted to “negotiate.”
You sit here on a supposed pro-liberty site and support denying people in Ukraine a chance to choose their own drstiny, perhaps you are confused, you seem like you would fit better somewhere else with the rest of the Communists.
I suggest the ethnic Russian protesters in Eastern Ukraine pull the same stunt the mob pulled in Kiev. I encourage them to start throwing Molotov cocktails at the police and burning them alive until they have no choice but to respond with lethal force. THEN once the police have defended themselves with deadly force, then have them protesters run to the press with video showing how violent the regime in Kiev is and how they are committing atrocities against innocent protesters only seeking to burn police alive! The thugs that took over Kiev best be glad I hadn't been in charge, because I would have called in the military and cleared that square faster than the Chinese did Tienanmen square.
