    They didn't run away

    Robert Fisk in Bahrain:
    'They didn't run away. They faced the bullets head-on'


    After Egypt's revolution, the people have lost their fear

    "Massacre – it's a massacre," the doctors were shouting. Three dead. Four dead. One man was carried past me on a stretcher in the emergency room, blood spurting on to the floor from a massive bullet wound in his thigh.
    "We decided to walk to the hospital because we knew there was a demonstration. Some of us were carrying tree branches as a token of peace which we wanted to give to the soldiers near the square, and we were shouting 'peace, peace. There was no provocation – nothing against the government. Then suddenly the soldiers started shooting. One was firing a machine gun from the top of a personnel carrier. There were police but they just left as the soldiers shot at us. But you know, the people in Bahrain have changed. They didn't want to run away. They faced the bullets with their bodies."

    Heartbreaking. I hope their sacrifices are not in vain.

Furthermore, I hereby give up my right to sue myself for damages to my reputation, cause I don't think any less of myself and I know how much I got in the bank!

    If you've ever wondered who the Military and Police are really paid to "protect" dont look back throughout the entire history of the World, this clip sums it up perfectly.

    They paid for their own enslavement and masacre as always
