Turning Tide #1: Controlling the Streets

So what happens now? Can the opposition keep up the pressure if it cannot demonstrate?

Having been in far too many scenes like that in my own country: that’s what it looks like when the authorities break up demonstrations by not allowing a mass to gather anywhere. It’s the standard tactic.
I can’t remember, did this site cover the repression of demonstrators at St. Paul in 2008 or New York in 2004? Maybe.
We can’t equate the two scenes — ours seldom shoot white people — but we also should not be treating the Iranian pictures as if we’d never seen the like.
