Violence in Burma

[Wizard]

Well, it's a hot topic now in the international news. I think this is the all new height of it. A journalist getting shot in point blank range by a soldier.

When the Burmese military opened fire on thousands of protesters yesterday, Japanese journalist Kenji Nagai held aloft his camera and continued to take photos despite being fatally wounded.

 

 

 

 

As a soldier put a gun to his chest, he continued to his last moment.

Nagai was one of at least nine people killed when the troops opened fire, while a further eleven were reported injured.

Notice that the camera of Nagai is missing in the last frame. The barefoot soldier is just a pawn the generals of the junta who command him seem more likely to cause more pain and suffering on their own people. As well as directing their own troops to stop any news of it coming out. But as articles show online you can never hide or totally block out the truth.

Damn shame all we can do is watch as we see another Tiananmen Square. And see Buddhist monks get massacred in monastaries.

Seeing that this regime is a puppet of the Chinese government, I cannot see much good happening in any kind of a hurry. The Chinese have blocked all U.N. attempts to do anything.

That's sad to see. Makes me wonder what will the future be in xnumbers of years.
