From Angry Arab chief Bahrain correspondent: "Today, while Posner is in Bahrain making his rounds, a 5 year old child (some
accounts say he is 4 ) was shot by riot police while accompanying his father who
was selling fish. He was taken by riot police to the hospital and is being
closely guarded. He now has two bird shot pellets in his left eye. His father
was also injured. Now I'm trying hard to understand why this five year old was
considered threatening enough to be shot. There is absolutely no excuse for
this.
Meanwhile the King warned the opposition not to insult the army and
specifically its leader Khalifa Bin Ahmad. Apparently insulting the army is like
insulting him, so i say, insult away. Of course the Marshall Khalifa Bin Ahmad
is one of the royal family's craziest members. Not only is he blatantly
sectarian but he also seems to think that the protestors are supported jointly
by America, Hezbollah, Iran and Israel. Also reforms seem to be going well as
Samira Rajab who calls herself Saddam's daughter introduces new social media
laws .
This is probably in response to Nabeel Rajab's latest rant on twitter against

Tomorrow we will supposedly hear the verdict on the doctors case. I would
not be surprised if the verdict is somehow delayed."
