who is dying? ..and what then?

Let me discuss Syria just once more. I just watched the news in TV and during 5 minutes the situation in Syria was discussed. The thing that I missed are stories of eye-witnesses and I do not talk about cellphone movies, but news from people living there. It's said that journalists are not allowed to take pictures or to move throughout the country, well, what about the people living there? I get news from my parents, who right now are in Lattakia, on a daily basis, even pictures attached to e-amils that tell a whole different story.

They tell me that many of the wounded actually are policemen who are not allowed to use any firearms, civilians that try to stopp gunmen who shoot on ordinary civilians. The people of Lattakia were glad when the military arrived because now the situaion calmed down. There are pro-syria demonstrations on a daily basis as well as a couple of minor oppositional demonstrations. The shootings are not happening at those times but at night, outside demonstrations, .... and most of them not by government forces. So, please, media, tell me what to believe? Your picture or the stories told by people actually living in those countries? The only similarity between the two stories is the fact that everyone is waiting for the President's speech!
