SUP DA, IT'S SERIOUS BUSINESS TIME

As you may have heard, the recent success of protests in Egypt and Tunisia have inspired the people of Libya to retaliate against Gadhafi's 42-year-long dictatorship. Gadhafi has responded with snipers, aerial shootings and mercenaries, and the peaceful protests swiftly became a massacre.

People need to sit up and pay attention. The estimated death toll has passed 500 since Feb 17, guns are aimed at heads and chests, mercenaries have been ordered to rape Libyan women, and Gadhafi has announced that he will fight til the last man standing. Libya only has a population of 6 million, and there are young boys going up against machine guns with rocks. This is pretty much genocide.

Repost if you can, and have a thought for Libya tonight. The internet covered the shit out of the Egyptian revolution--we NEED to do that for Libya, too.

Speak up, spread the word, tell everyone you can about the situation. Call up news stations asking about the situation; the more interest, the more it will be covered.

Come on, guys. We can do it.
