[QUOTE]CAIRO/PORT SAID - At least one protester was shot dead and dozens wounded on Friday when riot police clashed with demonstrators demanding the overthrow of Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi, witnesses said.
Youths threw petrol bombs and shot fireworks at the outer wall of Mursi’s Cairo presidential compound as night fell. Police responded by firing water cannon and tear gas leading to skirmishes in the surrounding streets.
Two witnesses said they had seen a protester shot dead in Cairo with live ammunition in front of them.
“It’s verified. I am at the morgue. He was shot with two bullets, and that’s the report of the hospital. The shots were in the neck and the right side of the head,” said one of the witnesses, lawyer Ragia Omran. Medical and security sources confirmed Mohamed Hussein Qurany, 23, was killed with live bullets.
The head of Egypt’s ambulance service said at least 54 people had been wounded across the country, mostly in Cairo.
The renewed violence brought an end to a few days of calm after the deadliest week of Mursi’s seven months in power. Protests marking the second anniversary of the uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak have killed nearly 60 people since Jan. 25, prompting the head of the army to warn this week that the state was on the verge of collapse.[/QUOTE]

Do you go in every SH thread and make an idiotic statement
Most of them yes
Second verse, same as the first?
It's funny, at least the Egyptians didn't get hoodwinked. They know they overthrew a shitlord and they got another, and now they're trying again.
What the fuck do you expect is going to happen when you throw bombs at the [i]presidential palace[/i]?
Honestly Morsy isn't a dictator. The Egyptians don't understand that democracy only works if you actually talk to eachother. The only reason Morsy stopped judicial oversight for the constitutional draft was because they were all Mubarak appointed judges that he wasn't able to remove from their posts.
