      What’s going on with the bus in that photo? Why is there so much smoke around it?

      also the color version makes it much easier to see that there are no dead bodies in the photo, I thought this was proof of a massacre?

        Riiight, because I’m sure all those cyclists just left their bikes in the street because they weren’t running in terror to flee a barrage of lead…

        Gee, I’ll give you three guesses…

        The ability of fascists to look at something and see nothing but what the State tells them to is astounding.

        Buses on fire, one on the left, another on the upper right, whether by the protesters or the army, impossible to say from the photo alone. Most of the charred junk on the street is leftovers of the protesters encampment
