World: Syrian violence: Huge protests in Deraa, but a very bloody day
- In the blog entry we’re linking at the end of this post, Andrew Sullivan threw up two videos from Syria. This one shows a wounded man lying on the ground, and another person taking his belt and using it as a tourniquet for his wound. While harrowing, it shows nothing particularly violent. The other clip, however, is bloody. And scary. The crowds today were very large — with some putting the numbers at around 20,000 — but the scene was also very bloody. Dozens have died this week, but the Jerusalem Post says the number could be much higher. source
