Re: My God, you are an idiot.
Here you go, Hank -- as predicted:
Quote:
Egypt's military rulers announced that a decades-old emergency law curtailing civil rights will continue until at least next June.
Ending the controversial law was a key demand of Egyptian protesters who forced former President Hosni Mubarak from power in February. But the military, which planned to lift the emergency law before parliamentary elections scheduled in November, said last week it had no choice but to employ the draconian measure after a mob attack on the Israeli Embassy earlier this month.

I believe I recently suggested that the military allowed the embassy to be attacked so that it could justify subsequent moves of this sort.

Better isn't the right word. But yeah, I saw that video and thought it reflected very poorly on the cops, who seemed to mace people for no reason at all. |

I was making a point about Egyptian politics that didn't have anything to do with Obama or Israel, so I imagine you tuned it out.

I thought Hank said they let the embassy be overrun because all Arabs hate Jews (almost gave him the benefit of the doubt and said Israel, but I think this characterization is more accurate). |

I know someone doing a decade and a half. He deserves five. But he drew the wrong judge (got a powermad, dumb judge who became incensed when a deal didn't get done). Your advice is spot on. If you're facing five or more here, bolt. Life's short, take the risk.
The system's fucked.

Don't think he gave advice.
Also, consult your lawyer. 10 years in the statute ain't necessarily ten years in practice.
Oh, and try not to commit felonies. |

oh. well letting an angry mob over run the Finnish embassy might have been about Egyptian politics. Letting an angry mob over run the Israeli embassy isn't just about Egyptian politics, and it should have impacted on Obama and the US quite heavily. It just didn't.
OTOH Last night, in line to get into the Moth, there was an old Israeli couple behind me. They seemed to feel Egypt was still a friend of Israel, so what do I know.
