1. Well, that was horrible to watch but not nearly so graphic that it's not worth watching.
May the king, the crown prince and the prime minister, along with those directly responsible for the slaughter, be held responsible.

7. And the UK as well. If you type in "bahrain" AND "UK" into Google news you'll see a number of...
..stories about arms shipments being cut off n the last day or so from the UK, who has apparently been helping out another monarchy by selling them some of the weapons you can see so coldly on display in the video.

It is truly an Anglo-American empire.

10. I too noticed the US M113s down the street.
there is absolutely no justification for opening fire on a crowd like this.

3. What kinds of idiots are running Bahrain.
The parents and friends of each of those demonstrators will not forget or forgive this horror. There are better ways to deal with dissent -- like permitting it, like listening to dissenters and meeting at least some of their demands. Dissent really does not hurt families and the country. These bullets do.

How inhuman. How cruel.

5. There's no unseeing that... It's over for Bahrain.
The gift that technology, social media, etc. offers society is the ability see and judge for ourselves... Contrast your feelings when watching this video with your feelings when watching the moments after Mubarak's resignation... All the word's a stage... and we're all witnesses.
