A Kuwaiti Channel Is Attacked By Mob

In another blow to democracy and freedom of expression in Kuwait , a mob attacked a TV channel there because what they have considered an insult to the Kuwaiti royal family.
According to what I have read that TV host and executive manager of Scoop TV  channel Talal Said attacked Faisal El-Malak , who is related the royal family after accusing the channel of attempting to topple the current regime. You can watch that clip from Talal’s show “Good and bad” that caused all that stir along with that comic show that made fun from El-Malak

Did you notice the Emir photo besides Said ??
There is no doubt that this mob are from that Sheikh’s men.
I do not know much about the internal politics of Kuwaiti and who is against who but the fact that mob attacks a TV channel studio like that is scary and disgusting not to mention unacceptable.
Kuwait has got a very promising and very interesting political experience in the Gulf , this is another blow to this experience.

  2. I disagree Mr. Egyptian in USA, Balwana is much bigger than balwahom.

    Since you're living in the states, you must be familiar with the quote " No taxation without representation"

    They don't pay taxes and have semi-functioning true representation and most Kuwaitis are well-off. On the other hand, We, the Egyptians pay taxes-an awful lot- without real representation.. they are just about to add a tax for farting and most the people are struggling to make ends meet every day. Additionally, Kuwait has far less corruption in government.

    Judging that Egypt has better freedoms to make the general balwa less isn't correct, as freedom of speech and democracy in Egypt is a farce and that was recently proven in shutting down TV networks and sending off democracy-advocates like Essa. so you see, our balwa is far bigger than theirs and has always been one of the biggest balwas in the region, only surpassed by balwas of gigantic proportions in Libya- Matto a luna in power, or balwa of Sudan-which will ultimately affect Egypt so it's as much our balwa as their balwa and naturally the mother of all balwas is in Isreal(sic intentionally to avoid GIYUS trolls) where they live with an existential complex, constant fear of what the very near future holds and knowing very well they are decaying from inside and they won't last for another 60 years.
