I went there once. I felt like Mike Rowe.
No offense, but I don’t need to see it. It won’t make me any more mad than I am now.
Tragic things like this are going on. Meanwhile our “commander and chief” is silent.
It is unbelievable that we have a ‘president’ that doesn’t speak out in support of people fighting for freedom. We have a poodle sitting behind the bully pulpit.
Hussein has spoken out more aggressively against Rush Limbaugh and FNC than he has the mullahs of Iran.
Pathetic!
Almost certainly she was targeted becaus she was not wearing a headscarf.
And Odumbo cannot even bring himslef to speak against this brutality. Effing coward.
Please, let me know your impressions after viewing it.
That is the most tragic thing I’ve ever watched. Fitting her name was Neda, meaning “voice”, for she was a voice for freedom in Iran. She is a true martyr, unlike those idiots who blow themselves up in public.
newsworthy bookmark bump.
Ice cream, anyone? /sarc
No, it doesn't.
You don't have to live through Neda's death to understand the horrific brutality of those who murdered her, and to support her countrymen's battle for freedom.
Meanwhile, Hussein is eating custard, ignoring North Korea, tsk-tsking the Iranian government, and cutting deals with pharmacy companies for GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED HEALTH CARE.
Hussein, remember, THINKS THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO GO NUCLEAR.
What a great leader. not.
yes, I’ve seen it
I looked at the pics. These are not the first photos of people shot dead in the last several days on the streets of Iran.
you may not want to watch it right before bed
We have a coward in the White House who cannot even bring himself to denounce this repression and brutality.
That's your typical angry liberal for you. They can huff and puff, and hurl the nastiest of insults at good and righteous people (who are safe targets).
But, let some brutal, dictatorial monster kill thousands - even millions of innocent people, and they are silent. It's because they are essentially worthless cowards.
They cannot confront real evil. Instead, they placate and appease it (witness Obama's bow to the king of Saudi Arabia).
This is why you won't hear Obama come out strongly and unequivocally in support of the Iranian people's revolt against tyranny.
We take our freedoms for granted here. I wish Zero would watch it. I couldn’t watch it without crying.
someone gets deliberately shot while not near the protest... just simply watching?
hmm. two possibilities.
1. current regime wants to make people fear being in the vicinity of any protests, thereby hoping to reduce support.
2. pro-protest gunman shoots sympathetic woman to create a martyr for the cause.
This was posted from Neda’s sister:
Yesterday I wrote a note, with the subject line “tomorrow is a great day perhaps tomorrow I’ll be killed.” I’m here to let you know I’m alive but my sister was killed...
I’m here to tell you my sister died while in her father’s hands
I’m here to tell you my sister had big dreams...
I’m here to tell you my sister who died was a decent person... and like me yearned for a day when her hair would be swept by the wind... and like me read “Forough” [Forough Farrokhzad]... and longed to live free and equal... and she longed to hold her head up and announce, “I’m Iranian”... and she longed to one day fall in love to a man with a shaggy hair... and she longed for a daughter to braid her hair and sing lullaby by her crib...
my sister died from not having life... my sister died as injustice has no end... my sister died since she loved life too much... and my sister died since she lovingly cared for people...
my loving sister, I wish you had closed your eyes when your time had come... the very end of your last glance burns my soul....
sister have a short sleep. your last dream be sweet.

Her headscarf is laying under her head.
