Point taken. I just figured he'd have read a few pages back.
True. I didn't see the video until five minutes ago. It brings tears to your eyes and you have to turn your head away. So horrible.

Were the vids taken down:? i did not see one with the girl being shot after scrolling through the whole page.
They are on YouTube. Just search for "iran girl shot." It's on there a lot from various angles.
The video coming out is just amazing in a very heart wrenching way. CNN just showed footage of a Basiji militia guy being beaten by protesters. The guy is on his knees and this woman steps in and literally hugs him to put her body in between him and the protestors to keep him from being beaten to death.
Didn't see it up on youtube yet.
Sunrise in Tehran. The next 24 hours will be pivotal as to whether this gets crushed or is able to grow.
It's either going to be smaller than yesterday and the government is going to be able to really hone in on the pockets of resistance and stamp it out... or it's going to be bigger and escalate even further.
All signs point to it getting bigger, but with the regime really emphasizing deadly force now, it's hard to tell.

In 1979 the Iranians wanted a theocracy. Completely the opposite in 2009. Just saying.
Um no... they want a theocracy. Read Mousavi's statement. They want a return to the roots of the revolution... not what it has morphed into.
Stop being so wrong all the time. Thanks.
That one had to sting.
I just saw the video and was quickly reduced to tears. From what I understand the actual protest was about a mile away and that er took a point blank shot at her heart.
It's disgusting, i hope for the sake of the country they overthrow those mullahs and the bag false president.
So, they want a theocracy, but they chant "death to the Supreme Leader"?
Strange.
Didn't you read jman's post? THey love the mullahs.
From reports I read she was shot from a Basij on a rooftop. It said she was standing next to her father watching to procession walk by and I guess she was an easy, stationary target.
You either don't have the ability to fully comprehend the situation or you're purposefully being ignorant to get a rise out people.
Quit stalking me.
BTW, I'm not the one with almost 20K posts.
Your search - "death to the Supreme Leader" - did not match any do ents.

Strange, indeed.
Oh, ok. I mostly post in response to ChumpDumper's smartass snide comments. He really has nothing to contribute to any discussion, other than to try and put someone else down. But, that seems to be a common theme on this board.
wow is all i have to say...but you should embed it. The youtube windo still requires you to click on it.
No... they were making those chants. But those chants are to Khomeini. If they were saying "Death, death to the revolution" that would be a completely different thing.
Like Mousavi, the figurehead of this movement, has said... they want a return to the roots of the revolution and not the bas ized version which stands today.
Hey, if you stopped spouting pure ignorance and lies on this board, I wouldn't treat you like the punching bag you have made yourself here.
If it weren't for YouTube and Twitter, the "Iran protests" would be a small blurb on a world news report. They don't seem to have anywhere near the numbers needed for any kind of revolution. Perhaps a step in the revolution direction ... but it's getting sensationalized due to the new media. Americans are eating this ish up but it will get stomped out quite easily.
Great example. Thanks.
Everything I had read says "death to the dictator" -- meaning Ahmadinejad.
Strange that you think there is only one man to lead a theocracy.
All except one, apparently.
