“Odd Phenomenon”
April 25, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui
It is an odd phenomenon of all the Middle East revolutions that security police gun down protesters — and then gun down mourners at the funerals, and then shoot dead mourners at the funerals of those mourners shot dead the previous day.
From the brutal regime’s standpoint, this makes perfect sense: Since funerals are where demonstrations are starting, they want to discourage people from attending funerals.
