Looks like more thuggery on the part of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood, trying to silence protesters:

CBN NEWS – Masked gunmen fired into crowds of protestors in Cairo’s Tahrir Square before dawn Tuesday, injuring nine people. Egyptians opposed to President Mohammed Morsi have been staging a sit-in there for nearly three weeks.

They accused Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood supporters of sending trained squads to squash anti-government resistance.

Footage from a private TV station shows a Morsi supporter assuming a professional shooter stance before aiming his rifle at demonstrators.

One of the most disturbing things was how they chanted ‘Allah is Great’ as they aimed at us,” Mahmoud Zaghloul, a 22-year old protestor, recalled.

Tanks and soldiers remain in place at the presidential palace.

The opposition party called on its supporters to march on the presidential place today. They want Morsi to call off Saturday’s national referendum on a draft constitution.

Not "anti-government" They are called FREEDOM FIGHTERS

Once people get a taste of liberty in islamic nations, their God-given instinct to remain free takes over.

Fight on folks...fight on.

"Religion of Peace" they called it... That's like calling a 500 megaton nuclear bomb a "small explosive device"

Might there be a few dozen available for proper disposal over the Middle East?

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

I'm fine with them killing each other at this point. Ugly to say I admit - and wrong really. But these people opened the door to the MB and kept it open even after evil reared it's ugly head. I want Morsi out...

Hey, IF what you said is bad then I'm down right evil because, like naziism, I want islam wiped from the face of the earth even if it does mean killing millions.

My Sober friend, you are showing love by wanting the terrorists eliminated so the peaceful can live their respective lives as God intended.

If you want to see thuggery you need to go no further than Lansing, Michigan where union thugs have torn down and cut up a tent that was supposed to be a safe haven for supporters on Right to Work in Michigan.

Please pray for the men, women and children who are facing angry union thugs with knives and not enough police presence to protect them.

This is when I hope someone has conceal and carry. Attacking a tent filled with men, women, and children with a knife, true demonstration of why unions need to be illegal in ALL capacities.

Unbelievable.  And what's worse, I fear the police will side with the unions like they did in WI and NEVER arrest or prosecute anyone.

Well, they elected the Muslim Brotherhood, so now they're stuck with it. Hope they enjoy the experience. Now it's up to the Egyptians to change it.

Is this Lansing? Oh, no gunshots in Lansing yet. The protesters did just tear down the tent of "Americans For Prosperity" though. Then the police finally came. It should be up on YouTube by now.

All that's left is Morsi's, I mean, Snyder's signature.

See how this post is on topic? Opponents of freedom behave badly, whether they be Islami-cysts, or Union-cysts.

Why is Mr Zaghloul surprised? It's what they do, and if one hears them shout this, then better run for cover.

Welcome to world of the infidels Mahmoud. At least we still have our guns and can fire back.

See? You already knew what I'm talking about, just needed a reminder you will remember. You don't have to wear a uniform to earn honors fighting for this dream that is America. You, Sir, have joined our ranks. Cut yourself some slack. I am no more honorable than you.

Hand Salute.

Amen, to that. Remember, there are two types of patriot warriors. Those that go and fight have it easier, in my opinion than those warriors, like yourself, who stay and carry on the fight at home. THAT is the more difficult fight. It's hard to know who the enemy is most of the time. Don't under value what you and those like you do. Keeping the home fires burning is the hardest job.

(gulp) (thinks and then smiles)... I think you must be thanking me for appreciating what YOU and others like you have done for me! That I can sort of understand. It's good to be appreciated for what you did! To see people happy and living and free because of decisions you made. FREEDOM is NEVER FREE as well you know...

MiketheMarine

It isn't you or those that thank me. It's just a wierd thing. I was a self proclaimed tough guy, super athlete when school aged. I joined the Corps as a test of my own mettle. Then, what happened, happened and it changes a person, as you well know. So, in my mind, when someone thanks me, my brain goes to why I originally joined and think, what is worth thanking me for? Somehow, a vets brain separates why we did it, with what we did once there. I probably need a pshrink to explain and I'm even confusing myself. Oh, hell....

How about this. Thank you, My Brother.

Wolfie

You never should... It was your choice... You made it home, many did not... But for the Grace of God... When I thank you I truly mean it! You know that. Because, under different circumstances I would have been right there beside you in whatever godforsaken foxhole you found yourself... And I'd have been happy to be there with you my brother! But God, in His wisdom... brought you home because he had more for you to do, and I didn't get to do what I wanted to do because He wanted me to do something different... Gad... I'm starting to sound like a preacher man... LOL! I better shut up! :-)
