If we do not take a stand on issues of Immigration and for our own culture, this is only a few years away here. Remember, civilization is a system which is in opposition to our most ruthless and base nature as animals. We take for granted that the civilizing influence is innate. But history suggests otherwise.

AHRAM Online:
Officers and police personnel arrested and beat to death a man they accused of killing a colleague at the site of funeral for the fallen captain in the southern governorate of Beni Suef
Egyptian policemen beat to death in public a man they believed was the killer of a police officer who was shot on Saturday morning in the Upper Egypt governorate of Beni Suef, according to Ahram’s Arabic news website reporter.
Investigations officer Captain Hesham Kamal El-Din Ta’ma was shot in Beni Suef city in the early hours of Saturday morning while he was breaking up a brawl involving firearms between two families in El-Ghamrawi and Ezbet El-Safih areas.
Killing a cop is generally a death sentence any where in the world, in the west they try and make it look less like murder but they don’t try and take them alive.
Official says Egypt’s interior ministry will issue 100,000 9mm pistols to police amid dissent
CAIRO – An Egyptian security official says the interior ministry will supply policemen with 100,000 new 9mm pistols, after many complained about a lack of firepower.
The official says the decision was made after studying the demands of policemen who said they could not properly defend themselves against increased lawlessness following the ouster of longtime ruler Hosni Mubarak two years ago. The official spoke on condition of anonymity Saturday because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Policemen have gone on strike in recent weeks and protested what they say are poor working conditions and continuous attacks against them by armed thugs.
The move is likely to be criticized by rights groups who say policemen are operating with impunity and using excessive force against protesters.

EGYPT- PORT SAID Egypt protesters block access to port, demand justice
ISMAILIA, Egypt: Thousands of Egyptian protesters blocked access to the harbour and rallied outside state buildings in Port Said on Sunday to demand justice over the deaths of dozens of people killed in riots last month.
That violence was triggered by anger over the death sentences handed down to 21 people from Port Said for their involvement in a soccer stadium disaster in the city a year ago in which more than 70 people were killed.
Sunday’s day of “civil disobedience” was called by hardcore soccer fans from Port Said’s al-Masry, the club that had been playing a home match against Cairo’s Al Ahly when the stadium disaster occurred in February 2012.
Witnesses said around 3,000 people took part in the protest, demanding the death sentence for those responsible for the Jan. 26 violence set off by a verdict read out in Cairo.
“With our lives, with our blood, we will sacrifice ourselves to you martyrs: Either we avenge you or we die like you!” they chanted.
“The disobedience will last for one day and could continue if the protesters’ calls for the death sentence for the killers of martyrs are not granted,” said Ahmad Mutwalli, a political activist in Port Said.
The protesters also disrupted train services. But General Ahmed Najeeb, head of the General Authority of Port Said, said the protest had not affected shipping activity at the Mediterranean port.
