Our government shoots into peaceful crowds all the time. They just use rubber bullets.
I think you're going to have to show us, sugar. This comment is otherwise typical of the ridiculous, base rumors the Left trafficks in, being unused to honesty and dead to integrity.

They're not my type, I must say.

I think I heard the mortal causalities from the Iranian protests were members of the anti-Iranian terrorist group Jundallah. They were supposedly trying to stir up a lot of shit.
That is probably government propaganda. I seriously doubt that poor girl Neda was a terrorist. Only now the government is trying to shift the blame to some other source (like the US or Britain or some terrorist group), even though people on the street saw who shot her.

OK UG. I will have to take some time later to find it, but I remember a protest, I believe it was in florida sometime last year or maybe the year before, where many people were seriously injured from rubber bullets and other things, like maybe bean bags, that were shot into the crowds? People had posted a lot of pictures when that happened. You have to give me some time to find it though, since it was a while ago.

Thanks Shawnee. I remember this one website that had tons of pictures and comments from people in the crowds. I would like to try and find that website again. I just didn't feel like looking for it earlier. I will look for it later.

Just the other day, I was walking down the street, minding my own business...and rubber bullets started flying at me. Seriously.

But, those above were two separate instances. Maybe not all the time. Except for FL.
