Egyptian Military Tanks Shoots Brave Man with Bare Hands Trying to Stop Them
(NYDailyNews) ECHOS OF TIANANMEN SQUARE: Egyptian protestor cut down in hail of gunfire after standing ground in front of enemy tank as body count continues to rise Protesters poured out of mosques after traditional mid-day prayers, responding to the Muslim Brotherhood's call for a 'Day of Rage' as armored military vehicles sealed off main squares in the Egyptian capital and troops with machine guns stood at the ready on key junctions. As if in a replay of China's Tiananmen Square in 1989, an unarmed young man stands defiantly in front of a tank in the Egyptian city of Ismailia and dares it to shoot. It was a scene straight out of Tiananmen Square but set in Egypt, with an unarmed young men standing defiantly in front of a tank and daring them to shoot. Only this time, they did. A shot fired by somebody inside the vehicle pierced the daring Egyptian's body and left him writhing to the ground, a display of naked brutality by the country's military regime that was caught on a video that quickly went viral Friday. His name, or whether he managed to survive being shot at point blank range, was not known.
