I'm Sorry For Doubling Up Here, But This Picture Just Hit Me Strong...

[WillyT]

I have no idea who these people are, what their story is, or anything else.

But I interpret it as... "Resolve"

They went down to support the protests, got literally smacked with reality, and yet... will be back tomaorow, and the next day,
and the next day after that...

In a weird way, it reminds me of this moment...



And I'm not certain why...

1. I think the first picture reminds you of the second because

what you're seeing in both?

Bravery.

3. It Just Dawned On Me Why It Struck So Hard...

Reminded me of Neda...



:shrug:

Thank you.

[WillyT]

5. And You Are Right... Bravery For Sure...

And... it looks like the reaction many of us would have, if similar circumstances were to come to pass.

4. A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees

Ohhhhhhhhh.....

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

7. Oh I Think So Too...

There was just something contemplatively powerful about that pic.

Or at least that's how it hit me.

:shrug:

:hi:

9. It is, both are hell of photographies

I just hope the Egyptians get what they want, when all is said and done. People have died already... so I hope their sacrifice is not in vain.

11. Reports at the time on AJ English were the police were randomly shooting shotguns into the crowd

Men, women, children & elderly people were getting blasted indiscriminately.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4714891">2 children (4 & 7 years old) reported killed so far.

The death toll is now over 100.

12. My Original Post Was This:

Progressively violent, but no children...

:shrug:

14. I saw it and added some pics

Just because there aren't photos of dead children, doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

[WillyT]

17. I Had No Pictures Of Dead Children To Post...

If you have some, I just might post them.

Link???

:shrug:

[Turborama]

19. Nope, just news reports.

Like the one I linked to upthread.

13. Photo from MSNBC Graphic

dead man from a shot gun blast...

Sue me, I get way too clinical...

[Turborama]

15. "Sue me, I get way too clinical... "

What does that mean?

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. I can tell you what the young man died from

most likely... aka what major organs were taken out. I can almost tell you what range that shot gun was fired from.. ten meters or so, from the spread pattern.

Too many years of doing the EMS stuff.

[Turborama]

18. Can you tell if he was actually dead at that point?

I only ask because they seem to be checking and the optimist inside me hopes he made it through.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. He is still alive... his lips don't have any blue tint to them

but his liver was affected, his lung, if not lungs were affected... and probably spleen. That is a major code trauma. If they got him to an OR...

Now realize from the photo I can tell this, but I cannot be 100% sure. If he stopped breathing the moment the photo was taken,,, the bluish tint would not show for another thirty seconds or so.

21. Kick !!!
