...and hoods. What is it with the fucking hoods? This is new, right? Could it be that there has been enough collective progress that we cannot treat people like objects unless we hide their faces/eyes? Or is this just the most positive spin that can be put on this?

What is it with the hoods? And if the occupiers are actually revolted by what has happened, why don't they free those prisoners? ....I guess this is the vicious circle of, well, evil: if you let the prisoners go, they'll tell everyone what happened; if you don't let them go, then you sink deeper into it. Extraordinary how iconic these pictures are turning out to be -- how they perfectly represent every element of this obscenity.
