Bahrain's Police "Aimed to Kill" the Peaceful Protesters in Manama

6 people are dead so far, including a young girl.

The police attacked the protesters - men, women, children - gathered on Pearl Roundabout in Manama, who were sleeping in their makeshift tents. Just like in Egypt, with the US-made and US-supplied live ammunition and vehicles.

The protests, started out as mostly a Shia demonstration to demand more equal treatment under the monarchy, have quickly swelled to include people of all religious beliefs. After the brutal attack by the king's police under the king's order, they probably don't quite care any more to preserve the monarchy.
