Photos Of Libyans Apologizing To Americans
Submitted by AJILIVIZION
Images posted to Libya Alhurra Livestream Facebook page displayed many Libyans holding peaceful protests decrying the Benghazi attacks. Libyans in Tripoli and Benghazi are holding demonstrations condemning any violence and mourning U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
The community responds to Libyans using social media to express their sympathies:
thedirtman: "Facebook's and Twitter's greatest assets are that it provides common people a chance to share these feelings. While commoners on online media are sharing successes and regrets among people, the media (ours and theirs) are spreading messages in various languages that pander to people with violent inclinations."
circlesquared: "People communicating without hate...what a beautiful thing, thank you for this perspective."
Earl_Dixon: "These are common folk, trying to send us common folk a MSG, Unfortunately fear and hate, come with a large segment of blindness and hearing loss."
Hardytoo: "I think this better reflects the sentiments of the majority."

.Why Did They Arrest The Man...?
Lets just say this man created a video, to in-site riots among the black fokes in America...a hate video...?
In the eyes of the American People this would be wrong, because the Constitutional Law does not protect the Freedom Of Speech, because it would be in conflict with the Law, within what I call, The Prime Directive Of The Constitution....
What is this, you see When Twitters Fans Called For the Murder of President Obama...the Freedom Of Speech is in Conflict with Law....
This Prime Directive Of The Safe Keep Of The People....Government Officials must Obey this Law or step down from Office, and if they are found in Violation Of The Law and have created Laws of Self protection with in this Constitutional Law, they could face Treason....
My friend Dee she is a Tea Party American...
I myself, I am and all ways will be her friend..I see into her kind of....so I will share something about her...
Dee was attacked by Americans, to bring harm to her but her friend helped her..to safety...you see Some one created a Word shared or a word Created a in-tent to bring harm to her, or to kill.....Show me within Constitutional Law by the word of mouth or a video, created against her, that the Freedom Of Speech is protected by Law...?
You see in my world my butt would be in jail, because I would bust someones backside over a friend or my family member...
Now we have Americans dead, as of yet a movie or video is not found..may be it was removed...who knows...but the man is in jail and soon a share will be released....Now because of our Laws we must protect him with the lives of our Police Officers...
