Hrm, so now the "pro mubarak supporters" in contrast to the revolutionary people have taken control of some of the army vehicles and are driving them into the city square at the other protestors. I'm sure those revolutionary people are sure happy about gun control now......

People's around the world should pay attention to the fact that it is the ordinary police that are the biggest supporters of the regime of a dictator.

Good point, let's make sure it makes it out of the halls of this echo chamber. Most all of us here already know that most state employees wouldn't dare biting the hand that feeds them.

Holy shit glad I don't live there. I hate to say it, but I'd take the soft fascism of our government over mass chaos and violence any day.

Mubarak could be made into Saddam Hussein overnite by the American media. Never let a Bushie tell you America promotes Freedom & democracy

Just saw someone throw a molotov cocktail

Edit: It was the pro-government people that threw the cocktail at the anti gov people.

Someone on Al Jazeera just said that there are no "pro-mubarak" people, just thugs. This was from an Anti-Mubarak person, of course.

Edit: this rock fight looks like fun!

Anyone know of a mirror for http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/ ? It seems Al-Jazeera can't keep up with the bandwidth requests.

I haven't been able to access Al Jazeer all morning. CNN has live streaming on the front of site, but they suck compared to AJ.

Pro govt made a big push by throwing stuff from the rooftops. The anti crowd just made a charge and took back the street.

People come in on horses and camels to attack people who don't even have food to eat. This is pathetic. This is nothing more than the "haves verses the have-nots".

They are not "Pro-Mubarak protesters", they are State Enforcers.
This has been confirmed several times.

I hope they said "I'll get back to you in just a minute, I promise" while they did it.

LOL at the AlJazeera reporter accusing the D.C. hack of fear mongering of the muslim brotherhood.
