FRENCH SOLIDERS OPEN FIRE ON INNOCENT CIVILAINS ON THE IVORY COAST (WARNING VERY GRAPHIC VIDEO)
He is busy writing his Pulitzer Prize acceptance speech.
"I was born a poor black child (you have to have seen The Jerk) forced to work as an embed reporter for NBC to feed my 18 brothers and sisters at the Elite White Trash Commune and Journalism school. Blah...blah..."
The speed is dropping fast. 99% downloaded.
Will publish a torrent as fast as I can.
We have Direct TV....hmmmmmm.
Maybe some of us who already have it can make a new thread with screen captures or "The French Massacre".
Holy Crap!
This is not what I or anyone else imagined!
I suspected it was bad, but this is just outright slaughter. I hope this gets the same treatment that at least the panties at Abu Graib received, but it is evident that it will not because the U.S. was not responsible.
I intend to save this and send it to as many as I know who are interested.
The U.N. MUST address this NOW!
you won't like it
Thank ya dear!
The french site referred to by someone here is from ry Coast Radio Station. There is a time line provided.It would seem that the video relates to the events of Saturday Nov.6. They say soldiers were shooting from helicopters.
"almost 2500 views... spreading like small pox."
Sheesh...I love the new Media...but its slow. Even with DSL.
"What are you kidding me? You clearly see people fleeing form the tanks. You clearly see NO guns on anyone in the video. You clearly hear gun fire and tons of people screaming. What more do you need to hear and see?"
No I'm not kidding you. I don't anything in that video except the aftermath. I doubt that anyone with a gun would be standing out in plain view to be shot by the Frenchies. You cannot definitively state that something did not happen just because you don't see it in a poor quality video from an obstructed perspective. The real world is not 2 dimensional like this video. I'm not saying that other people were shooting at the French, but it is possible. I'll give the tape another view and see if I can see or hear the first shots, but this video does not prove anything other than that the French were involved in some type of gunfight in which civilians were killed. The French were complicit in Hussein's genocide, so I don't need to infer something from an inconclusive video in order to see them for what they are. However, I will call things how I see them. Explain where this video shows the French clearly shooting into the crowd, let alone firing first. People looked like they were running for cover, and not necessarily from the French alone.
Be sure to link to your torrent file so we can grab it fast. LOL I hope you have fast upstream bandwidth. That initial seed is always brutal.
"soldiers were shooting from helicopters."
...I hope Fox has the guts to show this.
(still downloading...wow)
Bad stuff there. No weapons seen on the natives side of things, but a thrown bottle, rock, or quite a few other things could have started it. Not enough on the video to know what started it.... only the aftermath.
Send this to every media outfit you know.
I have probably been as vocal against the French and Europe in general, as anyone on this forum. That being said, it's my intent to be fair to just about anyone.
I've watched about 40% of the video so far, and I am not able to discern any French presence. There are tanks. I don't know whose tanks. I don't even know if the side with the tanks is the one who opened fire.
Unless I see something more convincing that French did this, I'll withhold judgement until I can learn more about this.
If the French did open fire on unarmed civilians, I think it's a serious serious issue. If however, this is world-class propaganda, I'm not going to volunteer to be used.
I have not counted, but I would say 300 rounds and some full auto. Mostly women, kids. Major slaughter of members of a typical protest crowd that you might see in DC, with lawn chairs and the like.
This is a real atrocity.
