Is that Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC? She said the crowd was out of control.
FoxNews/Jennifer Griffin says the crowd is orderly, some even leaving, that they wanted to touch and/or see the coffin.
[Are they watching the same funeral?]

All 3 networks are carrying footage out of muqata, The pallies have stormed the compound and they fear a mass riot and maybe The taking of arafat to Jersualem .. Sounds of gunshots heard.. Its actually more like 10's of thousands
French flags I can understand but Canadian???
I suspect that Arafat's rotting effluence would lend no more than an air of lagniappe to those already there. That's a lot of unwashed bodies in a little bit of space.
Where's my thesaurus?!?!?!?

You try living in a refugee camp for 50 years and see how you feel.

The French are experts when it comes to AIDs.
They are shooting off the Heavy guns now..
Well the Pali flag covering the coffin just got yanked.
All those bodies squished together and jumping around be setting off B.O. that smells like camel dung.
"What happens if they Do NOT get him into the pit by then???"
I'd guess he has been dead week already. They were keeping him on ice while they git this circus all setup. Think has disorganized it would have been without all the planning..
Oops - "effluence" = stink
It makes one weep for the good o'l days of Malcom X's well disciplined followers of Islam. They knew how to dress up the line and class up a mob.
Earlier when the gun shots started going off, Jennifer Griffin says, ' This is not a good sign', and Andrea Mitchell said it was perfectly normal, a sign of respect.
The US media trying to justify why they are covering this...
Its not for ratings LOL
No order in that crowd
Fox making excuses for covering this scene.....
"French flags I can understand but Canadian???"
I noticed that too. Unbelievable.
IMO, it (in part) demonstrates Canada's reputation among Muslims regarding its open immigration/refugee policy. Once they get here and claim refugee status, it's almost impossible to get rid of them.
What else the presence of a Canadian flag could mean, I'd be very interested to hear what Freepers think.
I did notice the CNN anchors didn't say anything about it.
Lots of gunfire being heard.
Who is in charge of this procession? I mean if they cant get this straight, how the H377 are they gonna run an independant 10X10 city block?
Isn't there an old joke about organizing a one-car funeral?
French law does not require a cause of death on a death certificate. The Pali's wanted him to die there so that AIDS would not be listed as COD on his Certificate.
