Police in Armenia Forcibly Disperse Opposition Protesters
Daily rallies following the February 19 vote had attracted tens of thousands of protesters to Armenia's Liberty Square. A tent camp was set up and participants vowed to remain on the square until their demands for a new election were met. But after the official winner of the election, Serzh Sarkisian, secured key support for the formation of a coalition government on February 29, the authorities made good on their earlier threats to break up the rallies. Hundreds of police and Interior Ministry troops surrounded the square at 7:00 a.m. local time on the morning of March 1, using truncheons, tear gas, and electric stun guns to break up the crowd. Police reportedly forced scores of protesters onto buses, taking them to local police stations. Witnesses say there were injuries among the demonstrators, and RFE/RL's Armenian Service reported that opposition figure and member of parliament Armen Martirosian has been hospitalized for injuries received during the crackdown.
Super Bowl's Big Score: 97.5 Million Viewers
Sunday's crowd edged out the previous record of 94.08 million when Dallas sacked Pittsburgh at the '96 Super Bowl. But, despite its made-for-TV back story and the fact that there are 70 million more people in the country than in 1983, the Patriots-Giants game couldn't touch the '83 broadcast of the "M*A*S*H" finale, which remains the most watched broadcast in U.S. television history, with an average of 106 million viewers. For ratings purists, a.k.a. ratings wonks, who believe we should compare household ratings instead of numbers of viewers -- just because the country's population keeps growing -- this year's game is not a record, though it's the highest rated since 1997. Household ratings measure the percentage of the country's homes with TVs tuned in to a show.
Karachians up in arms
To arm or disarm? is the question confronting some well-meaning security-conscious members of our society.
It seems that my childhood fantasies will soon come true and I can now don a cowboy hat and strap on a double holster with two guns and act out the role of Wild Bill Hickok, Buffalo Bill Cody or the Lone Ranger sans Tonto.
Better still, I can now brandish a Magnum like Dirty Harry and tell my detractors Go ahead make my day with complete impunity and within the purview of the law.
My grapevine tells me that a group of elite citizens of our city, along with members of the civil society (which makes me question: how civil is our society?) has approached the home secretary and stressed upon him that in view of the forthcoming elections and the prevailing law and order situation, the local government should allow people to apply for gun licences to enable them to protect themselves.
