The revolution took a turn for the bad as the riot police stormed them at around 2am. I live next to the foot of Baghramyan Street where the protestors were doing an overnight vigil at the foot of Parliament, when upstairs Alex heard explosions which woke him up as well as Lena further down nearer to the Opera. I woke up (I live on the quieter courtyard side) when I heard people runing past my apartment screaming. Meanwhile Alex had gone down to the street and witnessed some beatings and the police chasing protestors. I called Alex and went up to see from his window and there were tons of riot police and the water cannons were there too. But little activity left. They had already cleared the protesters away from nearly a kilometer up the road. A two person camera crew recorded the scene a few minutes, then left as well. They had been chased as well. No idea what set this off, although we suspected the police would do this in the middle of the night. Don't know what to say in the way of injuries, etc. The camera crew said a bunch of arrests had already taken place... sad night here. Don't know just how bad the damage is or isn't but it is just a sad state of affairs when things come to this. There is a lot of the resentment like that in Georgia, just not a good alternative... Is the revolution over? If it is, did it serve as any kind of wake up call to the authorities to shape up?
