CLICK HERE TO WATCH VIDEO OF PROTESTER GETTING SHOT
Shit is getting serious. Today after a massive escalation in the intensity and violence of the protests it seems that the revolution might just become a reality. While this is, of course, really good news for the people of Egypt one has to wonder who is going to fill the power vacuum left as a result.
The government of Egypt has responded by TURNING OF THE INTERNET. This is devastating to the ability of the protesters to plan, organise and communicate. The American government has already begun work on an internet "kill switch" that will make it law that when it sees fit the government may discontinue the internet. The impact of switching off the internet in Egypt just shows you the consequences of passing such a law.
Its really important to remember that the protesters are just students, businessmen, teachers, lawyers, basically everyday Joe Soaps that they have been forced to violence. People are dying for a cause here, normal citizens armed with pebbles are getting shot.
We have it lucky
