"You Should Help Us"

A live witness, a 20 year-old student in Tehran, on CNN:



The Guardian has an interview with one of the riot "police" beating up all the civilians, here is an assessment:
The man, who has come from a small town in the eastern province of Khorasan and has never been in Tehran before, says he is being paid 2m rial (£122) to assault protesters with a heavy wooden stave. He says the money is the main incentive as it will enable him to get married and may even enable him to afford more than one wife. Leadership of the volunteers has been provided by a man known only as "Hajji", who has instructed his men to "beat the counter-revolutionaries so hard that they won't be able to stand up".
Real pain and suffering is too much for people, it causes inaction. But throw out a few flawed hypotheticals and sprinkle some falsehoods and watch the fringe freak out.
