this just took the breath out of my body.
this is what real revolution, real compassion looks like.
Oh jeez. The ring.
I asked someone what the arabic caption on the link says and she said "a member of (I guess the military?) cries to a protester because he is unable to protect the people from mubarak's thugs." Also hang on
[15:29] <~Quixotess> it was reblogged on tumblr with the english caption "Protesters stopped an army officer from shooting himself. Cairo, Egypt."
[15:29] oh my god
[15:29] <~Quixotess> I guess one doesn't rule out the other though
[15:30] :C
[15:30] astagfirullah ._.
[15:30] :(
[15:30] yah that does actually make sense what the caption says :C
[15:31] <~Quixotess> oh does it change your translation at all
[15:32] oh like the vibe I got from it was that he was like really really… upset? that's not a good word
[15:32] distraught
[15:32] like what it literally said was that "he went to the protester's feet to ask forgiveness"thanks for this—and just…no words…
