[quote]Three people died as Egyptian troops opened fire at supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi marching in Cairo.

[B]The army,[/B] which removed Mr Morsi in response to widespread unrest, [B]denied shooting live rounds at the crowd.[/B] However the BBC's Jeremy Bowen at the scene says he saw soldiers fire on the protesters. [B]About 2,000 people had marched on the officers's club after passionate Friday Prayers at the nearby Rabaa al-Adawiya Mosque. As the crowd grew, got angrier and pushed forward, the troops opened fire - first into the air, then at the crowd, our correspondent reports. He saw one man fall to the ground with blood on his clothes. More people are arriving at the scene and anger there is growing, says our correspondent - who was himself lightly wounded in the head by shotgun pellets.[/B][/quote] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-23202096[/url]

Often without warning.

[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;41333054]uhh what the people that are protesting right now are morsi's supporters. the bulk of egypt just ousted morsi. "will of the egyptian people??"[/QUOTE] You still don't really have much of a point. So only the majority should be able to protest?
