Bayar was drinking vodka (celebrating election results?) in his party building, and when riot has broke out outside of the building, he was yelling "Shoot em! Shoot em!". Well, shooting didn't start as he requested and rioters were already clashing with police. Police units were firing rubber bullets (only known major casualty was blinding some old guy and shooting rubber bullets was not very effective at all, because rock "rocks"!)<br>Fact two, ex-president Enhkbayar said "I asked UB police chief, if they need my assistance about an hour after riot started (imposing martial law and set curfew, only comes from president)", police chief said "No, not yet", but later on he asked for it, and said "We can't contain it". <br>Well, shootings of those victims happened only after president's order. It is logical to think that policemen used president's order to get revenge on civilians for kicking their asses (pardon my Russian!) all evening. I think more people died that night. Call me conspiracy theorist, but our police chiefs are from former communist era, and masters of cover up when time calls!<br>Personally, I believe that the riot of July 1st of 2008 just displayed impotency of our leaders (democrats, civil rights groups, and post communists alike). There was not a single brave leader showed up at the demonstration or attempted to use the will of the thousands demonstrators for the sake of justice and against dirty corrupted politicians. Look at the current Iran, when people demonstrated on the street against Ahmed, Moussaka chose to follow the people defying orders from Supreme leader of Iran, ayatollah Alibaba (sorry, not good with Muslim names!) . He didn't disappear like Mongolian demonstration organizers. Whatta courage!!!<br></p>rentmanSat, 11 Jul 2009 05:15:33 -0000
