When you join hundreds of thousands of your fellow disenfranchised citizens in the streets in blatant defiance of your government, do so knowing full well that they will come at you with waves of riot police.
They will come at you with bullets and clubs and tear gas and tanks and motorcades.
They will not back down and they will not let up until they are content that every ounce of patriotism has been washed from the streets.
This is when the true measure of your patriotic rebellion will be put to the test and decide the fate of your cause.

I’ve been listening to Rage Against the Machine all day today, seems fitting.
Ugly? It’s already ugly for the people living in Tehran, I just hope this doesn’t turn into a global event.
