Re: Cairo's Tahrir Square reoccupied by defiant protesters
Oh no!
That tears me up so bad! I understand and, not just sympathize but, support the idea of striving for a better life, better government... but most of all: freedom from fearing death, at the hands of another!At least 13 people have died this weekend, reports say.
D, you be careful!

Re: Cairo's Tahrir Square reoccupied by defiant protesters
I was in Tahrir Square today and the numbers keep growing. Gonna go again tomorrow, god willing, I think it's going to be huge!
Yesterday, however, was much worse. I have a couple of videos here, but I must warn you, don't watch it if you are easily disturbed.

Re: Cairo's Tahrir Square reoccupied by defiant protesters
Thanks guys!
I just came back from Tahrir Square and it was so crowded. It's perfectly safe inside and around the square, there's just a street that leads to the Ministry of the Interior building where all the clashes are taking place.
Just so you know, the people are demanding the removal of the field marshal Tantawi and the Military council. And we're not gonna stop until they step down, hand power to a civilian presidential council, and have them punished for their crimes.[4:82]Comment

Thanks SD
I actually take it back, the Square isn't safe, seems like it's a chemical warfare going on there. I was told this is what's being used on us.[4:82]Comment

Re: Cairo's Tahrir Square reoccupied by defiant protesters
How you doing over there, D? I saw more on the news about it today, so I was wondering.
Also, Medusa dear, what are you talking about? D's profile image?It's a really, really cool thing, to be able to show people that you can be yourself, and you should be proud of yourself, and you should own who you are and what you're about, and never make apologies for it.

Re: Cairo's Tahrir Square reoccupied by defiant protesters
I am sorry I'm using this as a blog as opposed to news & current events.
Today was so terrible, I don't know what else to say. I'm not an expert on tear gases but I don't think that's the only thing that was being used on us. There is a suffocating agent. People were just collapsing. I swear to god, a couple of people were dying in my hands. I was helping at a clinic, getting people out of the smoke and into the clinic, and even there we were shot at. We had to move the patients several times. Because we weren't able to breath. I even got hit again with a tiny little plastic ball in my hand. This was just so terrible, it was like a scene out of a war movie. This little kid was motionless in my hand and I looked around and there were like ten people just lying there, with doctors trying to revive them.
