Protesters who are pressing for democracy are being gunned down by their own military. Share your thoughts/opinions here.

(My regular internet's down so I'm on my phone and it would be nearly impossible to post a link, so can the next person please find/post one?)

UPDATE: There are now mobs of protesters in the capital of Tripoli, but (so far) there haven't been any reports of anyone being killed there.

I heard they have taken the national television. Great for them. But the worse thing is. How awful he is he will probably be sentenced to death and he is a human.

You mean Gaddafi? He ran away a while ago. He's no longer in the city (and probably will flee the country).

This thread is about Syria, right? Libya is somewhere else. About the second quote, fights start again from time to time, nothing's sure yet.

That's not sure, certain sources say he's in his residence, there are kilometres of bunkers down there.

About Syria; I've read that Assad qualified all the attacks as part of a transitional phase. How sick is that?

I think I'll expand it to all places where reform protesters are oppressed.

I thought his compound was stormed earlier and he wasn't there.

It's understandable that he'd claim it's part of reform or something. Wrong, but understandable. That's what a lot of leaders do to justify their actions, that the killings were to "strengthen/unify the nation" or something.

Assad will probably give a big "I'm sorry, it won't happen again, but everything's better now" speech.

Wiki says: On 20 June 2011, in a speech lasting nearly an hour, in response to the demands of protesters and foreign pressure, al-Assad promised a "national dialogue" involving movement toward reform, new parliamentary elections, and greater freedoms. He also urged refugees to return home from Turkey, while assuring them amnesty and blaming all unrest on a small number of "saboteurs".

Syria's not changing much, or not being followed by the news anymore, so I'm opening it to all places where protesters/reformers are oppressed.

UPDATE on Lybia: Loyalists to Gaddafi have retaken most of Tripoli. here
