Points of interest this last half hour, Cairo:
1. Military has shown up, has not stated what side they are taking.
2. Rioters and Police waring over the Octo' bridge.
3. A curfew has been put in place (from 6pm to 7am), anyone breaking the curfew is 'breaking the law', commuters are totally fucked as public transport has shut down.
4. The total baller who managed to throw a Molotov through the gunner port of a security van.
5. Riot police keep getting pushed back.
6. Government buildings on fire, ruling party buildings burning very fiercely, taking the main brunt of the rioter's attacks.
7. Live ammunition gunfire (automatic weapon) around the ruling party building, directed into crowd of protestors.
8. National Museum in the line of fire spread, no way to get fire services to scene.
9. Final prayers still took place! Unbelievable. Everyone broke off rioting to form lines and pray.
10. Police fire tear gas into praying crowd... Uh oh... HOLY SHIT... some total hero catches the damn thing and throws it right back at them!
11. Pray time over, back to rioting and dodging live gunfire.
