Chopping People Like Meat in Iran
When I turned on my TV this evening, saw a longer version of this clip on CNN in which an Iranian girl harrowingly describes how protesters were beaten until they were drenched in blood, thrown off a pedestrian bridge, and shot at. And like the girl is pleading, the outside world should now do something! Enough of this appeasement sh*t. Again Edmund Burke's oft-quoted admonition applies here and mankind must once more take heed:
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing"
Here's the CNN report.
Also pasted below are the tweets from someone in Iran (RT means to re-tweet or re-post on Twitter):
