Protestors in Tahrir just shot fireworks, as a weapon, against Morsi supporters matching across 6th Oct bridge. No army/police anywhere.

Why are army helicopters flying overhead and nothing is being done in #Tahrir? Why aren’t police or army anywhere in the square?

But there is now a full on street fight along the corniche near Maspero. Heard two bullets snap through air.

Watching from the Ramses Hilton, it’s now out of control. Machine fire just a minute ago. A burning car. Molotovs.

Anti-Morsi crowd caught 1 pro-Morsi & dragged him past me. Some were trying to protect him, others trying to beat him w/sticks, rocks, etc.

At Maspero. Clashes ended and MB left. Maspero locals who joined the fight tilted the balance. People celebrating the “victory” over MB.

The Ikhwan have retreated. And the second they were gone the Army & Police APCs drove in, waving like fucking heroes.

Can someone explain why Egyptians have been killing each other on live TV for past 90 minutes & the army just now showed up? Suspicious…

It pains me to say that this was inevitable, with or without military intervention, violence was going to break out between civillians.
