Thank you.

Have you ever seen photos or videos of the armed protesters? I hear talk of ~~it~~ the protesters attempting to fight soldiers with guns they found, but have never seen any hard evidence.

The way I see it, if protesters in the US were burning military transports and killing soldiers, the results would be the same. (Probably worse)

Here, video of armed protesters firing machine guns at the military (on the 3rd, before the "massacre").

That's amazing. I was convinced that no evidence existed. It's as if we live in some heavily propagandized society, like North Korea or Chi- wait a minute!

That second photo does show a protestor with a gun, but I’ll keep looking

Ya'all gotta stop being so defensive. I'm asking so as to be informed, not in a sarcastic manner.

A lot of soldiers were killed throughout the event, hard to say specifically about the specific ones in this burned vehicle.
