Some assholes are taking advantage of a tragedy someplace else

To be bigger assholes than ever.

Security forces with tanks have overrun a square in the centre of Bahrain's capital Manama where anti-government protesters have been camped for weeks.

Two people are reported to have died after police fired tear gas at the mainly Shia demonstrators, who have been calling for political reform.

The country's Sunni rulers have declared martial law and called in Saudi troops to help keep order.

At least two people died in clashes on Tuesday and more than 200 were injured.

A senior Bahrain opposition MP, quoted by Reuters, described the crackdown as a "war of annihilation".

"This does not happen even in wars and it is not acceptable," said Abdel Jalil Khalil.
