after watching that video you suggested curb-stomping the perpetrators, an act which is equally, if not more violent than the original offence, i believe that would be hypocritical... obviously some sort of punishment is necessary but to kill them is not the way, particularly not in such a horrific and brutal fashion as curb-stomping

it looks like it COULD HAVE been panic... imagine yourself in the car, surrounded by an angry mob of people... you want to get the fuck out, and you start driving... theres a crowd of people ahead and you panic some more and you just slam your foot down instinctively, while it's on the gas...nowaysj wrote:I really want to believe that was an "accident".
One time when I was young I was going way to fast on this offramp off the freeway, and I went into an instant skid. I went flying into the guardrail pretty much head on at sixty miles an hour, some how (and I swear this was the hand of god) my car, in full skid, changed direction and I went off the inside of the offramp, it was a kind of steep slope that was covered in ice plant, a juicy succulent. As I slid down this hill I realized there was a whining high pitched scream going on, I had some how taken the car out of gear and had the accelerator floored, the engine was pegged redline and it literally took me three of four seconds to even recognize it. Oh yeah, and the windshield whippers were going for some reason?![]()
Anyway, this was pure chaos and it took me a long time to regain control of myself, let alone my car. If I was in a crowded urban setting, I could have easily mowed down scores of people...
I don't know, that video is so horrific, I really really want that to be something similar.
definitely gunshots, and it looks like something like a molotov cocktail was thrown near the van.nowaysj wrote:I only watched that once, but does it sound like gun shots right before the fucking van goes psycho? I really don't want to watch that again.

They have the most to gain from political chaos in Egypt.
top work sherlockevery reporting i've seen of this has said that the muslim brotherhood has very little to do with the protests, if anything at all
so yeah, you're not doing very well at not letting your prejudices get in the way of sensible judgement
that's another issue entirely but most commentators think the muslim brotherhood is unlikely to have that much input in whatever happens afterwards. that all remains to be seen but it could up badly whichever side(s) is/are involvedpkay wrote:You're under the impression that the fallout from this will be a purely democratic venture.
Who is gaining from all this? Muslim Brotherhood. Could be dumb luck or could be that I pretty much nailed it on the fucking head with this oneThe outlawed Brotherhood said in a statement that its representatives would meet with Vice President Omar Suleiman to press its "legitimate and just demands."
Senior Brotherhood leader Mohammed Mursi said the group was sticking to the protesters' main condition that Mubarak step down. He told The Associated Press the talks will take place later Sunday.
These would be the first known discussions between the government and the Brotherhood in years, suggesting the group could be allowed an open political role in the post-Mubarak era.
exactly, under mubarak the muslim brotherhood was outlawed so of course they are going to gain from it, that doesn't mean to say that they will seize power and turn Egypt into an ultra conservative muslim state, considering how much of Egypt's economy is reliant on western tourism it would be completely counter intuitive to do so, especially considering that the whole reason for the protests was in favor of a more open and democratic systemnowaysj wrote:Anyone who was suppressed under the current regime stands to gain from the removal of that regime

The ban on Muslim Brotherhood was in place long before Mubarak's regime.... regime change did not favor the Muslim Brotherhood for 60+ years did it?nowaysj wrote:Anyone who was suppressed under the current regime stands to gain from the removal of that regime, oh wait, did I just nail it?
