Best-case scenario is that they &#8220;merely&#8221; beat him into unconsciousness. Rather than give you just the video of the beating, though, I&#8217;m embedding a kaleidoscope of 14 clips put together by Breitbart.com to show you how widespread and violent the protests already are. If you can&#8217;t spare a few minutes to watch them all, at least watch the first three plus the seventh, where you&#8217;ll find the Basij &#8212; essentially Iran&#8217;s answer to the Nazi SA &#8212; riding by on motorcycles with batons and taking swings at anyone wearing green to indicate support for Mousavi. I&#8217;ve read multiple tweets from Iranians today claiming that some of these goons have been heard speaking Arabic, not Farsi, suggesting that they&#8217;re actually Hezbollah troops shipped in from Lebanon to help with the crackdown. Whether that&#8217;s true or just a rationalization by Iranian students who don&#8217;t want to believe their own countrymen would side with the regime against the people, I don&#8217;t know.]]>Sun, 14 Jun 2009 20:10:34 -0400<![CDATA[Allahpundit]]>https://hotair.com/allahpundit/2009/06/14/video-iranian-thugs-beat-protester-to-death-in-broad-daylight-n162564
