Default Women gunned down while peacefully protesting, Ivory Coast.

The world is going straight to hell people. When people are gunned down by a countries army while peacefully protesting..... I just don't have words to express what I am thinking. I just hope we don't see our citizens being gunned down in America.

The women were taking part in one of a number of all-women marches that have sprung up here over the past week in response to Mr. Gbagbo’s refusal to cede power after losing a presidential election last year. Previously, these marches have been dispersed by troops firing in the air.

But on Thursday, Mr. Gbagbo’s forces responded to the demonstration in the tense Abobo neighborhood by shooting into the marching crowd of hundreds of women, two witnesses said. Six were killed instantly in the machine-gun fire, others were wounded, and the marchers dispersed in a panic, the witnesses said. Amateur video taken on the spot appeared to confirm their account.
Here is the story on the Blaze.com with edited video. Somewhat graphic.

Ivory Coast is undergoing a low level civil war. The former president refused to step down. The police are ransacking the homes of opposition members.
