My god...Is anyone watching PressTV? DId anyone just see that video they showed?

It showed a white diplomatic car running over dozens of people at full speed. Intentionally plowing through dozens and dozens of people. I have never seen anything like that in my life. This is a new video, not the other ones. It's apparently just hit YouTube.

If less than 15-20 people have been killed I would be astounded.

Very good live coverage from the square and breaking events on PressTV

OnEdit: HERE is the link to the video on YouTube. It's shot at a distance so it's not gory but it is horrific. I am not used to seeing...murder on that scale. Absolutely senseless murder.

2. PressTV is, AFAIK, the ONLY news with a camera right in with the demonstrators in Tahrir square.
Between Al-Jazeera and PressTV, it's pretty incredible coverage.

13. Thank you...I agree.
Some posters on here had a fit when I linked to it earlier...even though I originally got the link from a DU thread.


Incredible coverage....from both AlJz & PressTV

4. I saw at least 3 instances just like that
One was a fire truck, the other some dark truck, but in all cases, exactly the same, just speeding up and plowing down pedestrians.

Obscene! What evil empty soulless person could do such a thing?

6. I was just wondering that. I cannot honestly understand that kind of wanton slaughter.
Anyone doing such things is under no circumstance to be considered fit to be called "human". Those were peaceful protesters.
