A "firestorm", huh?

People being killed by bullets and batons is pretty serious stuff; I don't think a bunch of blog posts and a boycott that no one showed up for qualifies as a "firestorm". Nice hyberbole though...

The riot police there don't have the guns that people are being killed by. They don't even have guns, only the military does.

I have a feeling foreign powers are making some of the chaos occur over there, while some of it is caused by the people themselves.

Don't be so quick to judge a situation you've never seen except through your own controlled media.

Once you shut off the Press and kick out all the reporters from the country your credibility is nil.

There is no doubt for you to try and benefit here.

You mean the same media that told you there was nothing to see? I know people who lived there and risked their lives to get out. The military are the police, and often the judge, jury and executioner when and how they want.

You sit and say the police don't have weapons, and that may be true... at least on paper. The reality is that whoever the government decides to give weapons has weapons, be they police, snitch, military or civilian.
