Death To Khamenei

The chants of death to Khamenei are true...I witnessed peoples fear of
the Basij dissapear, an 80 year old chadori woman with rocks in her
hands calling for the exacution of khamenei and all Basij...A group of
Basij were surrounded and forced in to a building, the front was
blocked with garbage and set on fire, They (basij) opened fire on the
crowd with what I assume were blanks, the crowed disspersed for a
moment the came back with a fury...thats when the molotov cocktails
came out. When I moved on the building was on fire...an hour later when
I passed by again there wasn't much of a building left. There was full
blown war...there was a young man who had taken all of a basij's things
including their teargas rifle.
for 15 minutes of it
we were passing intermitently though Basij and protesters fires placed
to displace the teargas... might I add the 3 hours that we walked
through fire we didn't see one shop or car that had been damaged by
protesters..
