Protests against new anti-democratic laws in Ukraine are increasing in intensity, with four citizens reported dead. As you can see in these extraordinary images by Ilya Varlamov, the demonstrators are using rockets made with fireworks. They look like scenes from some science-fiction movie about urban warfare.

I’m surprised more haven’t been shot. My guess is the government has some restriction on some of the cops. The elite units may be a different story. During the Orange Revolution, the government was worried about demonstrators getting firearms.

MSM is protecting its cozy and symbiotic relationship with the liberal powers that be. Real news is a casuality of this incestuous arrangement.

You’re right, they don’t want to do any stories that might make people start to think about the loss of their own rights.

From that video and this one, Ukraine government police there are kept in their positions and lacking mobility. If the protestors could keep it up for enough days, Ukraine government forces would be undersupplied, exhausted and overwhelmed.
