Egypt beat up my friends

A group of leftists in Beirut including some of my closest friends staged a demonstration in front of the Egyptian embassy to protest the disgusting Iron Wall. As the protesters began to trickle off the sidewalk to the street, the police jumped at this seeming violation as a pretext to pretty much go nuts. You can see here that there is a vigor that the police are beating up the protesters with that is quite shocking http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Lebanon-Lebanese-soldiers-and-riot-police-clash-activists-leftist-groups-during/ss/events/wl/021405lebanon/im:/100123/481/99be4207ff594eb0b5fe10d6ae9361b3/;_ylt=Alp19Hdh34QnK0v0QS_2sKzlWMcF#photoViewer=/100123/481/20e1db340aea48ae80de8c01bd0a8658
