Crushing Dissent

It looks like the big bad government has sent in the storm troopers to crush the dissent of the heroic protesters. Nope, it didn't happen in San Francisco. It happened in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi police made several arrests as anti-monarchy protesters attempted to stage demonstrations in the kingdom's main cities.

Witnesses reported gunshots, at least six arrests and dozens of people being chased in the streets by security forces in Jeddah on Thursday.

There were reports of minor protests outside government offices in Tabur and Hail but the capital Riyadh was calm.

The locks have been knocked off of Pandora's box.
