This isn't past the bloggosphere yet, but apparently hundreds were killed by the police at the riots over a collapsed building. I obviously can't post the footage but it's brutal.
edit: local reporter claims 2500? That can't be right
www.geenstijl.nl has the footage, really graphic be warned (I don't think I am breaking any rules like this)
Yes, it looks bad.
I'd say. Geenstijl is almost always ahead of the MSM and almost always have it right, so many dead in just one day would be unheard off. Going to check the labels of my clothing from now on
Google on kicks back riots over a court verdict of death for crimes against humanity from a Islamist party (Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami) leader, Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, during the 1971 liberation war. And the death toll is at less than 100 on each side.
No this something else, riots over an collapsed building where clothes were being manufactured, a lot of people dead possibly hundreds. There have apparently been a lot of people killed in the riots following it a few days ago, I don't buy it that it were 2500 but it's pretty nasty
I don't have anything. Post links, even the ones in gibberish...
Nothing out there, you can have the sparse footage there is but it's way too graphic to post hereQuote:

Got footage of people being killed but that is as much as I know, but absolutily riots
I dont suppose you could screen cap something from that video?Quote:

For 2 reasons, 1st for the life sentence/death sentence for crimes against humanity of an Islamist leader during the Bangladeshi independence war, 2nd for not passing a bunch of fundie wing nut laws like anit-blashpemy, men and women able to mix freely, the usual crap. While this unrest was already going on (it started in February) a garment factory building collapsed and killed 1100 people (mostly women).Quote:

Frag that video was of the Islamic Riots a few weeks ago - I recognized some of the banners/outfits - 3 people were killed and 70 injured - the Police are being accused of using live rounds - the Islamist's were protesting for a series of radical reforms (including hanging atheists...)
it looks like your blogger has crossed some wires to me
I'll take your word for it. Problem with blogs, sometimes they are right way before the media catches up, but sometimes they are also dead wrong.Quote:
