Mubarak's thugs out on the streets pretending to be demonstrators, inciting violence, probably so Mubarak can argue that he needs to get his thugs back on the streets in riot gear and guns.
Protesters were very gracious in telling Mubarak to leave. I hope they try to hold onto him now and take him to court, but perhaps he's a dead man walking.

Watching some of the video the scariest thing wasn't the big clashes with riot police but the plain clothes police going in and grabbing people from the crowd. Fucking scumbags. Courageous kids going up against that kind of of shit.
