Bahrain a War Zone! Hundreds Shot by Army, Hospitals overflowing

2011 is a year of revolution. Global people are starting to wake up everywhere. I've sent a few videos to people who get all their news from the TV. They are shocked when they see cops running our protestors. "how come we didn't see this" because they DON'T WANT YOU TO!

If I had the funds to help I would.

 

a spokesperson for Al Jezeera was on Link last night said the same thing about american networks, and special interests not airing this... how disturbing..

 

This makes me sad.

 

It is just unbelieveable, shooting their own people in the streets...

a sad day for Bahrain a said day for the world

 

Libya&Bahrain believed to be using foreign mercenaries as their security forces who hv no qualms shooting ppl like they're animals

 

the history of these kinds of 'government oppresses own citizens' is a long one:

- World War One Veterans -
After World War 1, Congress in 1924 approved an Adjusted Compensation Certificate, also known as the "Soldier's Bonus" to be paid veterans in 1945 or upon death. When the time came, each veteran was to receive $1 for everyday served at home and $1.25 for days served overseas.

The great depression came on in the late 1920's and times were hard throughout the country. As the depression years passed one by one, Representative Wright Patman of Texas introduced a bill calling for the immediate payment of the Soldier's Bonus. Many veterans with their pride, savings and credit exhausted, began considering that a few dollars while alive would be more useful than when dead in 1945. To effect passage of the Patman bill, a few hundred jobless veterans from Oregon began a "Bonus March" across the country to Washington, D.C. As the saying goes, it snowballed. By June 1932 there were an estimated 20,000 jobless and homeless veterans in the Capitol's vicinity. They became known as "Bonus Expeditionary Force" or "Bonus Army."
The bill passed easily in the anti-administration House and it was sent to the Senate for certain defeat and on June 17, 1932 it was defeated 62 to 18. Still more veterans were arriving in Washington than departing and being election year, Congress wanted to adjourn to get on with electing a President.
It is a long story, but in the end General MacArthur routed the helpless veterans with tanks, tear gas and burned their makeshift camps. The public sympathy was with the veterans and some say this incident gave Franklin D. Roosevelt an easier victory over President Hoover.
The annual trek to Washington became am annual pilgrimage for WW-1 veterans in the forthcoming years.

i can think of a string of these things that were threatening violence or actually became violent...the democratic convention of 68 is a low hanging fruit. our press and government have no room to say anything to other countries.

 

Consider that during PG1 & PG2 out guys were supposed to be keeping ALL of them, the Bahranis included, free from Hussain's terror. >cough cough<
