FRENCH SOLIDERS OPEN FIRE ON INNOCENT CIVILAINS ON THE IVORY COAST (WARNING VERY GRAPHIC VIDEO)

[Destro]

I don't know what it shows. The video is of suspect origin without context. It is useless to gain anything from it.

[Djarum]

I don't know what it shows.

Then why do you call the video a hoax?

[Destro]

The video is edited to portray something for propaganda purposes.

[rrrod]

Press reports and videos may/may not be factual...from either point. Attacks on civilians, no matter who they are, cannot be condoned. Only possible exclusion perhaps is employees of the UN.

[Fred Nerks]

That sounds like good news, I hope you are right!

[Mo1]

Did you notice the Christian poster and the Bibles in the video ?

Do you know the words to the song they are singing in that video?

[TruthCanHurt]

Go back to France...

Oh, wait... you probably are already there.

French loving fool.

[FreedomCalls]

This is the last view of the crowd before the shooting starts.

[cyborg]

Perhaps he's a devotee of King Leopold.

[Mo1]

No .. not the crowd .. it's over by the wall and in the street in front of the tanks .. about 310 - 315 into the video

There are two men .. one is wearing an orange/red shirt

The French shot warning shots at the two .. and then shortly afterward ... the shooting really got going

It looks to me that is what stated it .. but I can't tell if the guys were armed or not

[Mo1]

And thank you for helping get the screen cap

[RandallFlagg]

Just checking in. What's the status on this? Real? Memorex? Any media coverage yet?

[Mo1]

My guess is the video is real

Whether the French were justified in shooting into the crowd hasn't been determined as of yet .. but it doesn't look good for the French

As for the media ... not that I know of

[FreedomCalls]

The screen cap in 708 was at 3:10 into it. By 3:15 it's showing the shooting.

[Mo1]

The screen cap in 708 was at 3:10 into it. By 3:15 it's showing the shooting.

Sounds like my times are showing differently from yours by about 3 or 4 seconds

It was right when the shooting started here

To me it looks like the guys were just walking towards the tanks and the shooter without the helmet

[FreedomCalls]

This is just after the shooting starts and the camera quickly swings around and you can briefly see this guy very near the wall towards the French troops.

He's the one closest to the troops (not counting the guy in the basement entrance of the hotel) and there is another one flat on the ground and some other person standing just left outside this view wearing what looks like doctor's scrubs.

[Mo1]

I think that's them ... they were also in the street right in front of the tanks .. not to far from the guy in the basement entrance of the hotel

I still can't tell if they are armed .. but it doesn't look like it

Thanks for all your help

"I'm guessing those folks are new to the net [or] over the age of 65..."

Hey sonny boy! If it weren't for us "old guys", you wouldn't have an internet that allows you to post such foolishness, nor would you have the software that you used to display your lack of wisdom, nor would you have a computer with its integrated circuits, microprocessors, and hard drives. But most importantly of all, if it weren't for "old guys", you wouldn't even be here today at all!

I see him now!

Here he is in close-up:

Looks like he is praying or pleading with them.
