R.I.P for the people who died for freedom.

I love how everyone clears way, then the horsemen are in the middle of the crowd, then they're completely surrounded, then they get their asses beat. xD

This is what a zombie attack would look like in Egypt

This highlights the stupidity of charging with 10 men against thousands of people.

This highlights the importance of the saber for cavalry charges.

I wonder what the thought process was of those merc's.

"Oh, they're just a bunch of city folk. They wouldn't know what to do if they were run down by horses."

Right up there with,"Oh, it's only a couple of indians."

They got rid of a dictator once, they can get rid of a dictator again (if they really need to). Morsi has givin himself extra powers, that's true. But it's supposed to be temporarily and only so that he and his people can apply the changes to the system, without being held back by the military and the judges (who were all appointed under Mubarak). We will have to wait and see how this unfolds. This is still better than Mubarak. At least now there is an opportunity for change.

This is what I figure a zombie horde would do

so you think Egypt has freedom now? All the Egyptians have done is replace one authoritarian regime with another, but this one will be worse as, being Islamic led, will marginalise women and minority groups
