Nigerian Army Uses Trump’s Words to Justify Fatal Shooting of Rock-Throwing Protesters
From the New York Times:
"Soldiers fired this Monday on a march of about 1,000 Islamic Shiite
activists who had blocked traffic on the outskirts of the capital,
Abuja. Videos that circulated on social media showed several protesters
hurling rocks at heavily armed soldiers who then shot fleeing
demonstrators in the back."
The Nigerian Army cited Donald Trump to justify killing rock throwers.
"The army’s official Twitter account
posted a video, “Please Watch and Make Your Deductions,” showing Mr.
Trump’s speech on Thursday in which he said rocks would be considered
firearms if thrown toward the American military at the nation’s borders."
