(Reuters) - Hundreds of Yemeni demonstrators stormed the U.S. embassy in Sanaa on Thursday in protest at a film they consider blasphemous to Islam, and security guards tried to hold them off by firing into the air.

Quote
"We can see a fire inside the compound and security forces are firing in the air. The demonstrators are fleeing and then charging back," one witness told Reuters.

Witnesses said there were some injuries on both sides but gave no exact figures.

It's time to "medievalize" our embassies in those portions of the world. Moats, thick walls, Single gate in and out, entrapment areas with automatic weapons with interlocking fields of fire, etc. Also, we need a ROE that as soon as the gates are breached, it's weapons free on anyone carrying anything that could cause bodily harm.

Our first amendment rights are also under attack ....even from those sworn to protect them. Now, did the Chairman of the joint chiefs of staff do this to protect soldiers in the mideast OR was he ordered to do it by the CNC? I don't know. I can see it coming from both.

When telling the truth about your prophet is extremely insulting to you, maybe you should consider changing religions....Oh, that's right...you can't change your religion, the religion of peace will kill you.

or we could remove our embassies altogether and declare those countries what that are, enemies of the USA.

Color me naive, but I always assumed we did have that.

Apparently not, since the Marines in Egypt didn't have any ammo...

What's wrong with allowing about a dozen M2 Brownings and 3 rooms full of ammo in the embassy? "Just in case"

MSGs do qualify with the M9 Beretta and M870 Shotgun.
