Honduras Photoshow

In Honduras, first you take a photo like this.....


...then you catch them doing this.....


...and then suddenly you're the target.


You just know this new government is going to be free and fair with everyone, don't you? I'm glad to say that the AP snapper in the picture, Dario Lopez-Mills, is reportedly unharmed (but his lost his memory chip somehow). The snap was taken by his Reuters colleague Oswaldo Rivas, as wisely these dudes are travelling in pairs right now.

A round of applause for some brave and often unsung guys, the photojournalists. More photos of the "calm streets of Honduras" today.

In my personal experience photojournalists are usually smarter and more knowledgeable of their subjects than print journalists.

Hondurans like to call the international community responsible for the welfare and fulfillment of the rights of the individual to become present in our country this false since the de facto government that has developed has not done more to repress the views and freedoms, notably the popular democratically elected leaders of the Honduran people, citizens have been victims of repression and a media that tries to block no more than prevent the people to see what happens at the time and the abuse of those who are victims our brothers, who have had the courage to leave the streets and demand the wings just what we all want, freedom to think and speak.
I learned that friends and brave journalists and workers of different media have been victims of their integrity as amedrentantes to be the people of the radio radio balloon which on its website (http://www.radioglobohonduras. com /) have ana complaint issued explaining what they have lived like brothers Telsur Venezuelans who have been arrested for exercising their duties and now their lives are in grave danger.

expect support from the world community to what we are living, which is nothing but an attempt to return to the era of dinosaurs cave from politicians who have decades of power, and now with the support of the economic Elitsa and headed by the constituent and now criminal Michelleti Robert Bain, who is an effort to achieve the presidency did not measure the consequences of their desires, and you do not care about our country engaged in their game narcissistic.

dismissal and I hope this message will be taken into account, I publish my name Oscar Obando, my phone (504) 9771-2237, and my email, dario.espectro @ hotmail.com. and I hope to continue to inform the virtual communities since until that point had failed to intervene, at least not many places in the network but were cut down their Internet connections.

A photo can be misinterpreted just as words can. Why have you not posted photos of the thousands (not hundreds like the Mel supporters who are violet) of people peacefully demonstrating in the streets of Honduras in opposition to Mel's actions? Why, because that would not incite people to anger and violence and rational thinking!
The carrying of rifles/guns by the military and police is an accepted fact here in Honduras. Guards guard Burger King with AK-47's so there should not be any surprise that the soldiers are armed. They are also protecting themselves from clubs, pipes, and flying bottles, rocks, etc. I do not condone any violence by either party but be fair and post photos from both sides and give both sides of the story!
