The gunman, who was "hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house, aimed straight [at] her heart," said the video's poster, a doctor who made a desperate bid to help.

Heroic people are laying everything on the line, and we say nothing. I don't count Obama's tepid statements as saying anything.

Wolf Howling says "The regime, concerned that the basij and IRGC may balk at killing their unarmed countrymen - people whose sole sin is to protest the corrupt regime - is importing Hezbollah from Lebanon and Hamas from Gaza to form seperate basij units. They speak arabic, not farsi."

It's been reported widely she was a "teenager", but I've read in a few places that she was a 27 year old student majoring in philosophy.

Prime of life, promising future....cut down by a cowardly sniper who singled her out, probably for being a woman and dressed "Western."

If Obama wants to side with the Mullahs, fine, but in the meantime the American people need to support the freedom fighters!
