It's interesting to hear the arguments that are being used against the woman who was stripped and beaten, that she shouldn't have been out, and that she wasn't wearing a shirt under her veil. It's just another device to distract people from the violence, just like they do here in America. Never mind that someone has permanent brain damage from the police, or how many people have been beaten and pepper sprayed this week, where do those dirty protestors go to the bathroom, and why don't they get a job?
