It occurs to me that a sit in or a protest should not be the only way for people to send out their demands! I also think that it's not remotely realistic that every time a number of people decide to gather and ask for something it should be unquestionably given to them! Let alone something/things that are not agreed upon by every Egyptian!
If they're calling for a just trial by stopping people from doing their jobs in Al Tahrir Complex; then it's pure nonsense. I must say they're not the only people to lose their loved ones. And it also occurs to me that NO money or revenge will bring back any dead! A martyr is honored by the way he/she dies and not by the price their families get in return.
If those people or entities are promoting protests and sit-ins as an all time legitimate way of demanding changes; then the next step if the demands were not "obeyed" would be resorting to violence. And that has already started. Eg: Micro bus drivers who wanted to fight the law and find their way outta paying their fines by shutting down the Ring Road and Al Mehwar and terrorizing civilians by burning their cars!
There are plenty of such examples, and I refuse to blame it on the police. Simply because you can't ask a police man "a human being" to tackle all that "which they do" and be 100% successful while they also fight bullies who aim at bringing down the police and exhaust the army. 'Cause every time they intervene they're caught in the "Oh, can't you realize they're peaceful protesters and not bullies" dilemma! So resorting to violence is the way "protestors/bullies in desguise" use in order accomplish another ugly aim; the one I already mentioned above.
Those protesters or families should just accept God's fate for the time being; and if they have any rights they should know that God does not waste the rights of his worshipers! If they decide to cooperate and stay home, policemen will be able to tell who really is a bully or a thug and they WILL take'em down without thinking of the awaiting accusation of harming peaceful protesters or families of martyrs.
Those people in Tahrir do not represent me just as they don't represent many others. I just hope they'd clean the wax in their ears or heads; because they need to stop thinking they're the only ones who know what's right for the rest.
If you'll go on telling me you don't know how those families feel or that I expect to only sit at home and do nothing; I'd simply say that's not exactly a "bad" thing. So if I have any demands; I'd rather wait the good wait until the more important goals "the safety and stability of our Egypt" are achieved. Anything else would be PLAIN selfishness…!
