Injured IMCuk Photographer Was Targeted
Several witnesses have come foreward and given statements that the injuries sustained by indipendent photographer Guy Smallman were deliberate and intentional.
The witnesses stated that as he ran up a stone staircase to escape the charging Police, an officer behind him took aim and fired a sucession of concussion grenades right at him.
One of them exploded on the back of his leg causing serious injuries which needed two hours of emergency surgery. A witness has suggested that the Police were very unhappy about him taking pictures of their actions before and during the build-up to the attack. The legal team are now gathering all the statements to decide what action can be taken.

Oh, and while we're on the subject of injuries, if you dangle yourself off a highway bridge don't you have to accept some (or all) of the responsibility for the outcome.

Your story is extremely inspiring. Here are we, struggling to get our IMC established on the arse end of the world, while you guys are being shot at and maimed simply for trying to let people know the truth about what's happening. Respect.

The Bigger Picture
I don't think terrorism is the answer - but what is more terrifying and desolating than being brutalized by police?
Who on earth can protestors turn to for help?
How on earth can we rally a sleeping populace to stand with us in overcoming such barbarism?
I would not be surprised to learn that the elite actually want common people to turn their anger against each other, and kill each other - just as they are doing in the Middle East.
