Another oppresive government thinking they can keep freedom from people by blasting AK-47s at their own people. :rolleyes: Proves every generation breeds new tyrants.

Most of the protesters are members of Bahrain's long-marginalised Shia majority.
They say they are not demanding the abdication of Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Bahrain's Sunni king, but they are calling for a constitutional monarchy that would treat the Shia fairly and make them equal subjects in his kingdom.
But they are demanding the resignation of his uncle Khalifa bin Sulman Al Khalifa, who has served as prime minister for 39 years.

Shia versus Sunni seems to be what is driving the protests.
