Violent clashes between protesters and security forces in Pakistan’s southern port city of Karachi and in the country’s north left at least 22 people dead and more than 120 others injured as demonstrators supportive of the Iranian government attempted to storm a U.S. Consulate on Sunday, authorities said.

In the north of the country, demonstrators attacked U.N. and government offices.

The violence came after the United States and Israel attacked Iran, killing its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Police and officials at a hospital in Karachi said that at least 50 people were also wounded in the clashes and some of them were in critical condition.

    I cannot believe Hillary Clinton allowed there to be another attack on a US embassy. She should have to answer questions before Congress about this

          If Democrats want to win elections, they need to run candidates that care about the working class.

          Running on a platform of “deficit spending” is not enough. They need to raise taxes on the people taking us for a ride.

              If that stuff really matters to you, then you should encourage Democrats to support the working class so they don’t lose elections.

    Did they expect a different response when storming a consulate building?

    I didn’t expect Pakistan protestors to be the ones that are showing us how it needs to be done.

      Fyi, these are the same people that blockaded the country when…

      …the government refused to execute that woman for blasphemy

      edit: here’s some reading material on the issue I’m referring

      So if you think this storming of a consulate shows their ‘resolute bravery’: they already blockaded the main highway of their capital for a month
