Iranian Protester

We saw them, but they wouldn't engage.

There was still tear gas, but I heard from other friends across town that they saw snipers on rooftops and they saw people falling.

So there was some presence on Friday night, but it was still...

mainly people and the only I don't know what I saw the coverage on state TV they saw that people set fire to mosques and I'm not surprised by that when you use mosques to force people into a way of life you shouldn't be surprised if that's the first thing they set on fire

But I heard other violent stories that I did not witness.

I don't know if normal, regular people are capable of that kind of violence, but I don't know.

Like state governments have turned people into violent beings all the time.

So, but I didn't witness any of the protesters violence.

doing anything violent on Tuesday, Friday, or Saturday, for that matter.

So on Thursday night, I could even text

outside of Iran up to I don't know if it was 8pm or 9pm like between 8 and 9pm everything just stopped working we couldn't even call each other internet went out that was Thursday night calls the only thing that we could do it was landline to landline landlines could call each other but that was it

On Thursday night.

So there was really no way to organize at all.

And then as we ran and

uh we heard people falling and um then i saw like two blocks away from like further away from where we were a neighborhood just got lit up silently just so bright

that it was like it was day for like 10 seconds.

I don't know what they used, but it just lit up and then went quiet.

There were big groups of bikers with like machine guns and machetes just patrolling and driving.

No, they were dressed in black with face masks.

And my friends asked me if they were Iranian or not.
