This is no surprise. Blame everyone but the people shooting unarmed civilians.

Wait. Why doesn't this thread have 800 posts in it already? And where's the initial summary of events and recap of Twitter feeds?
Oh my God, where are the Twitter feeds??
At least the Fark icon still has a green ribbon. As long as that's still up, hope yet lives.
Oh look, a shiny penny.

They were headed to the notorious Evin Prison, but M said he was relieved to get there. He knew that's where his family would look for him first. But he was horrified to learn that more than 500 prisoners would be crammed into a cell of about 500 square feet.
Older than most of the prisoners, M was designated the cellblock leader, in charge of scheduling four-hour sleeping shifts for the inmates, who had to stand during the rest of the time, share a single toilet or make quick calls to their family on a single phone.
At mealtime, they ate watery bean or noodle soup. To kill time, they debated politics and the nation's future.
Prisoners were frequently singled out and pulled away for interrogation. They came back hours later with bruises or with blood in their urine, he said. Some would be pulled out at 8 a.m. and returned 14 hours later, limping and exhausted.
Guards told him that about 4,500 people were swept up June 20, with unaccounted numbers jailed in many other places. At one point, he met a family whose members were all jailed. A man, who was with his two sons, said his wife and daughter were in the women's section of the prison.
Finally, M was taken for interrogation.
He was blindfolded, never getting a chance to see his questioners. But judging from their voices, they were young men.
One asked who he was. M replied that he was a mine engineer who for the last 15 years had been accredited to publish books. "I am sorry that by publishing books, I could not change the destiny of society -- and that I see this bad day," he said he told them.
A second manasked whom he voted for.
"Unfortunately, I could not vote as I was busy and I did not have my birth certificate, but if I had, I would vote for Mousavi," M replied.
"Do you condone the setting ablaze of banks and breaking windows and the damaging of public property?" the interrogator asked.
"Not at all," M replied. "But I understand the frustration of young people and the way they may vent their anger."
The interrogators, seemingly perplexed by M's nuanced answers and calm demeanor, spared him abuse.
"You were mistakenly taken," an interrogator told him. "Sorry." M was allowed to leave Evin on June 27, a week after his arrest.

Technically, wouldn't Mousavi be eligible for death? I thought one Khameini said that organizing illegal rallies was punishable by death.

I do have to give Tatsuma some credit for the sheer number and volume of posts he offered in Iran Threads I-MMIX. He did do his best to keep farker informed of updates when others were simply not reporting.
that said, the "internet revolution" the keyboard commandos were waging indeed came across as LARPing or somesuch.

The hardliners can just eat a giant bowl of dicks. How about that?
After the shootings, alleged hangings, the alleged rape in there prisons by interegators, they should just throw themselves in prison, cause they're doing more to stoke the fires of unrest than Mousavi has at any point so far.
The protests started out being about the election. Anyone thinks that's what they're still about are fooling themselves.

Because everyone who was originally trying to get info during the murky early days of the protests should continue to post constantly and attentively on Fark Iran threads to prove to everyone they still care.
