"Ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak and his former interior minister were sentenced to life in prison Saturday after being convicted of complicity in the killing of protesters during the 2011 revolt that turned once-untouchable despots into defendants.

Mubarak became the first autocrat targeted in the Arab Spring uprisings to face life imprisonment in the country he once ruled. But the acquittal of six senior police officials charged with ordering the killings, as well as the exoneration of Mubarak and his sons of corruption charges, enraged many Egyptians, who took to the streets to decry the outcome as a travesty of justice.

Activists said the verdicts mean that no one has been held directly accountable for killing the nearly 1,000 people who died during the revolt."

There are always casualties in war. When you declare war on the state, don't be surprised if you or your fellow "activist" wind up dead.

Have to say that's one hell of a protest. 1000 dead.

Must not be big fans of fast food, football, and American idol.

I wonder if they disclosed that the West funded, armed and created the so called 'Arab Spring' during this so called 'Trial'.

When multiple Intelligence Agencies dress up like 'poor protestors' with shoulder fired rockets, grenade launchers and fully automatic weapons to pose as the 'downtrodden', I HARDLY find any sympathy in my heart for these 'civilian protestors'.

The funny thing is the average American will buy this crap hook-line-and-sinker.
