It was supposed to be a vigil for the maybe 150, maybe 300, maybe more, people killed in the Egyptian protests. Instead, the sadness turned to celebration with the news of Mubarak's resignation. There were the requisite speeches and moments of silence, but also music and dancing and people hugging and handing out candy. Despite the freezing weather (fortunately,
frandroid brought tea!) I wouldn't have wanted to miss this.
( more under the cut )P.S. Douchebag traitor Bob Rae was there, mugging for the cameras. Yes, the guy who said: “As Egypt transitions towards democracy, it is essential that stability be maintained through respect for their international obligations .....” because God knows Arabs can't be trusted with freedom and it needs to be qualified with "stability." I tried to get some folks fired up to confront him, but we couldn't find the exact quote to throw in his face in front of the cameras.
