some bracing footage from February 2

I posted it the next day, but it’s worth watching again. Huffington Post labelled this as footage of pro-Mubarak protestors throwing rocks, but it’s almost certainly anti-Mubarak people– judging by their appearance, but even more importantly judging by the geography of the scene. These people are behind the Museum throwing rocks to the north, directly into the area in front of the Ramses Hilton that was the staging ground for the regime thugs.

That flyover you see leads to/from the October 6 Bridge across the Nile, which is just a block to the left of the stone-throwers. Hours later, shortly after 4 A.M. on February 3, the protestors charged the flyover and captured it as well.

I love these guys. That nice little drumming intro gives a French Revolution feel to the scene as well.
