Egyptians Terrified As Thugs, Criminals & Terrorists Roam the Streets Freely

This past weekend mass jail breaks by militants sparked fears across Egypt.

Top Hamas militants escaped from Egyptian prisons this past weekend along with several members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Of course, the media won’t tell you about the criminal gangs roaming the streets.It doesn’t fit their narrative. Sam Tadros sent a detailed account of the real situation on the streets of Cairo to Clarice Feldman at American Thinker. It is an excellent read of the situation on the street. For some reason Aljazeera is not reporting this?

…Saturday was indescribable. Nothing that I write can describe the utter state of lawlessness that prevailed. Every Egyptian prison was attacked by organized groups trying to free the prisoners inside. In the case of the prisons holding regular criminals this was done by their families and friends. In the case of the prisons with the political prisoners this was done by the Islamists. Bulldozers were used in those attacks and the weapons available from the looting of police stations were available. Nearly all the prisons fell. The prison forces simply could not deal with such an onslaught and no reinforcements were available. Nearly every terrorist held in the Egyptian prisons from those that bombed the Alexandria Church less than a month ago to the Murderer of Anwar El Sadat was freed, the later reportedly being arrested again tonight…

…Today the Egyptians are scared. They have been given a glimpse of hell and they don’t like what they see. Contrary to Al Jazeera’s propaganda, the Egyptian masses are not demonstrating anymore. They are protecting their homes and families. The demonstration last night had 5,000 political activists participating and not 150,000 as Al Jazeera insists. At this moment, no one outside of those political activists cares less now if the President will resign or not. They have more important concerns now; security and food…

…Security wise the situation is a disaster. It might take months to arrest all those criminals again. Moreover no one has a clue how the weapons that were stolen will ever be collected again or how the security will ever regain its necessary respect to restore public order after it was defeated in 4 hours. More importantly, reports indicate that the borders in Gaza were open for the past few days. What exactly was transferred between Gaza and Egypt is anyone’s guess.

You seem to wonder after all of this where El Baradei and the Egyptian opposition are. CNN’s anointed leader of the Egyptian Revolution must be important to the future of Egypt. Hardly! Outside of Western media hype, El Baradei is nothing. A man that has spent less than 30 days in the past year in Egypt and hardly any time in the past 20 years is a nobody. It is entirely insulting to Egyptians to suggest otherwise. The opposition you wonder? Outside of the Muslim Brotherhood we are discussing groups that can each claim less than 5,000 actual members. With no organization, no ideas, and no leaders they are entirely irrelevant to the discussion. It is the apolitical young generation that has suddenly been transformed that is the real question here.

Where Egypt will go from here is an enigma.

What a nightmare.

I don’t think the future is an enigma, the Muslim Brotherhood will end up in charge. They are the only power center in Egypt at this point and they have been anointed by Barack Obama to get control whether the people want that or not.

The people of Egypt wanted change. They just didn’t know what the wanted after the current structure was gone. If they didn’t like Mubarak they are REALLY not going to like the Islamists.

Hope and Change has its drawbacks …

Can we see his birth certificate yet? I’m just sick and can’t understand why our supposed leaders in our government have betrayed this country and people in a way to allow Barack Hussein Obama and his band of thugs to help in this. I heard on Mark Levin last night that Al Queda is very close to arming themselves with chemical weapons. I’m sure those fine old media types that have never mentally grown past their early twenties, and reside in NY and Washington, DC wouldn’t want to concern themelves with that though? Have they even thought about what might happen to them or their children? After all these people had no problem flying planes into buildings.

With all of the posturing and maneuvering happening in the “cradle of civilization”….it almost looks like the “end of the world in 2012″ may come true.

To aprilnovember811: I think the only way we’re gonna see the b.c. is if states pass legislation requiring candidates to publish their credentials prior to the next election. That or some state official in Hawaii selling it for cold hard cash.

Aunti Em, we need to firmly keep Obama tied to this. The Muslim Brotherhood is his. This is another (big) one of Obama’s fiasco’s.

The tipping point will come when the Muslim Brotherhood gets enough of the police (and secret police) on their side. You will see a cascade effect as the rest of the armed forces rush to the side of the winner, and a midnight aircraft run to France for the remaining leaders who get out in time.

And the ones who don’t get out in time? They will be subject to the tender mercy of the gentle creatures that will certainly slip gently and bloodlessly into power. Certainly they will get nice long trials with legal representation, and merciful prison terms. And unicorns, at least one each.

Come on we can’t blame Obama yet he is purposefully got a wet finger to the wind to see who he should support. ElBaradei is a collaborator with MB and BO knows that if they gain the upper hand he better have seemed to be supportive. Obama votes present in the Middle East, its too confusing and the stakes are too high.

JT – there hasn’t been one thing in the past two years that Odummer hasn’t voted present on.

Oil gushing into the gulf? Present.
Gaza flotilla? Present.
Iran getting nukes? Present.
North Korea acting up? Present.
Riot in Gaza? Present.

It doesn’t matter how high the stakes are. He’s the leader of the free world and by heaven, it’s time he starts leading. Oh wait, he has – led us right into diaster. The disgsut have I have for the hand-wringing pantywaist currently in office know no bounds.

re #14 – sorry, that last one was supposed to say riots in Egypt. I don’t know why I put Gaza there.

Just like good dimocrats out having a morning stroll. Barack’s people following in his footsteps and doing some community organizing like Barack would have liked to have done if it hadn’t been for that pesky hindrance we call the Constitution. I bet he is watching this in the white house theater, smoking some cigarettes, drinking $500 a bottle wine and eating trans-fat free buttered popcorn between playing a basketball game and having a round of scoreless golf. It’s tiring being a king but at least Barack Peron can enjoy watching his people do their thing in Egypt with his blessings.
