So much for the illusory “Arab Spring”.
Mutilating other human beings is a genuinely evil act. I am not a pacifist, and I acknowledge that there are times when it is necessary to kill in warfare, in self-defense, or in defense of one’s family, friends, or fellow citizens. But deliberately mutilating anyone is a truly satanic act, and can never be excused.
Moreover, just because a weapon is considered “non-lethal” does not mean that it is benign or harmless.
Blinded by The Eye Hunter: Egyptian police expert marksman ‘takes out eyes of five protesters with rubber bullets’
An Egyptian police officer, dubbed by protesters ‘The Eye Hunter’, is suspected of targeting demonstrators by shooting them in the eyes.
First Lieutenant Mahmoud Sobhi El Shinawi has been ordered by Egypt’s general prosecutor to submit to questioning over the suspected shootings.
Video evidence recorded by protesters allegedly show that El Shinawi was involved in the attacks on at least five demonstrators, which have been posted on Facebook.
