I will never forget your eyes - RobertWright, on 08/13/2009, -1/+271That video is so gruesome and sad, R.I.P. NeDa
- gcnaddict, on 06/21/2009, -1/+208Seeing this video broke my heart into many pieces.
My comments haven't changed since the original story: the Iranian people need to fight for people like Neda and for themselves, their own freedoms, and the freedoms of everyone directly or indirectly affected by this regime.

This video is NOT LIFE SAFE. If you haven't seen death happen in real life, this is one video which will irreversibly break your heart. I thought I knew death (I've lost a few of my friends), but seeing a person actually die in the course of a video did me in. - Sakumi, on 06/21/2009, -3/+160I may be just an American with an American view of the world, but nobody should have to die for demonstrating peacefully. The video leading up to her death shows she was not doing anything violent or outlandish. She may have been hit with a stray bullet, but still - who's shooting into a crowd of unarmed peaceful protesters? Not acceptable.
- Konrad9, on 06/21/2009, -1/+149It will only be a revolution if they are successful
- psyclonic, on 06/21/2009, -3/+123these images will go down in history. the napalming photo of Kim Phúc and execution photo by national police chief Nguyen Ngoc Loan helped turn public opinion in the US against the war in Viet Nam. we can only hope the same holds true for the Iranian people against their theocratic government.
- limpboy, on 06/21/2009, -4/+116The video is powerful because she looked at the camera, and it seems that she knew death is coming for her. In, a way, she was looking at the world, as she about to die.
Hey eyes speak a million word....May her jihad ( struggle) not go in vain. I am a Muslim, and this is what true jihad means. God bless her soul - aznhomig, on 06/21/2009, -3/+91Are we calling it a revolution now?
- Ontarian, on 06/21/2009, -13/+92Her name is Neda.
- Drkgodess, on 06/21/2009, -2/+76"When I despair, I remember that all throughout history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it - always." - Mahatma Gandhi
May her death not be in vain... - gumballer, on 06/21/2009, -1/+74http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWHT37pQmmE
Footage of her before she was shot. - pagancollective, on 06/21/2009, -1/+66You are a terrible person.
- inactive, on 06/21/2009, -0/+64the winner always gets to pick what it's called.
- superkendall, on 06/21/2009, -0/+59A witnesses account of her shooting:
At 19:05 June 20th Place: Karegar Ave., at the corner crossing Khosravi St. and Salehi st. A young woman who was standing aside with her father watching the protests was shot by a basij member hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house. He had clear shot at the girl and could not miss her. However, he aimed straight her heart. I am a doctor, so I rushed to try to save her. But the impact of the gunshot was so fierce that the bullet had blasted inside the victim's chest, and she died in less than 2 minutes. The protests were going on about 1 kilometers away in the main street and some of the protesting crowd were running from tear gas used among them, towards Salehi St. The film is shot by my friend who was standing beside me. Please let the world know.

They are gunning down unarmed protesters in the streets! She is not the first one, nor will she be the last one to die. It's tragic to see someone so close to my age have their life snuffed out before my eyes.
- norman619, on 06/21/2009, -4/+55Your ignorance is amazing. Please do humanity a favor kill yourself as soon as possible.
- funkytaco, on 06/21/2009, -2/+52I truly hope the fatal protest of the young Iranian lady named Neda was not in vain. 60% of Iran is under 30 and they aren't going lightly!
- quirkopatra, on 06/21/2009, -4/+52If thou wilt be observant and vigilant, thou wilt see at every moment the response to thy action. Be observant if thou wouldst have a pure heart, for something is born to thee in consequence of every action.
~Rumi - aznhomig, on 06/21/2009, -5/+50Yeah, because Iranians are totally A-Rabs, right?
- gcnaddict, on 06/22/2009, -2/+45A limited fraction of people don't react to scenes of death and extreme sadness. Said people are typically more likely to become either
- very effective soldiers (those guys who don't mind killing someone else point blank? That's them)
- very effective CEOs (see just about any very effective CEO's tendency to be ruthless)
- very effective serial killers (see the BTK killer's recount of his kills and the utter lack of emotion)
- very effective ER surgeons (you think logically and methodically when going in to fix an issue)
It's almost entirely a genetic factor. It's important for some self-teaching to make sure that moral values persist because it's very easy for said people to fall off the moral path when they can't feel that sense of heartbreak associated with scenes such as death.
The best of you guys can save lots of lives. The worst of you guys can ruin just as many. These emotions of heartbreak act as a sort of action buffer; without it, humans can be capable of both extremes. - GEOFF361, on 06/21/2009, -1/+41sadly; Iran is not the only country where people have been killed for protesting peacefully...
- limpboy, on 06/22/2009, -1/+41thank you, just wanted to let you know that I am not from iran, I am from Iraq.
But, Christian, jewish, Iraqi, american, or w.e.....we are all humans. And this video plays an important role in how we define "humanity" - Bolinoak, on 06/21/2009, -1/+40And with this blow, Iranian history may forever be changed...
- HiKevinRose, on 06/22/2009, -3/+41As an Athiest, I stand in solidarity with the statement above.
- Suilenroc, on 06/21/2009, -2/+40I'm not a Muslim, I'm Christian, but I would just like you to know that I, and hopefully many others like me, feel for you.
- norman619, on 06/21/2009, -1/+36You are confusing Iran qith Iraq and the other ARAB states where conflict has been a way of life for centuries.
Iran isn't Arab. They are Persian. - anonymousmedic, on 06/21/2009, -4/+36Truely a martyr for freedom.
- arkiel, on 06/21/2009, -2/+34They:
The voter tally in cities was higher than each city's population.
The final results were in absolute defiance of poll numbers.
The person that leaked the vote results that showed incumbent in third place was killed.
You:
Idiot. - kingofinternet, on 06/21/2009, -2/+34or Kent State:

tbp link for this video. get it before ***** start censoring our internet. - artfiend77, on 06/21/2009, -1/+31Boring troll is boring.
- Inceptious, on 06/21/2009, -1/+28Everyone's being shot :/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW-qYbX6K3g
- c5kirk, on 06/21/2009, -3/+29I'm agnostic and agree with norman619's sentiments wholeheartedly.
- JulyZerg, on 06/21/2009, -3/+28RIP
- tmurphy77, on 06/22/2009, -1/+25yes
- acknotSW, on 06/21/2009, -2/+25Revolutions are rarely bloodless.
- WhiteIce89, on 06/22/2009, -0/+23If the government is willing to do this, then they are definitely willing to rig an election.
- leif77, on 06/21/2009, -3/+25Irregardless... every time my manager says that I want to punch her in the face... Start a sentence with that and I guarantee that anyone with half a brain isn't listening anymore...
- jordanlgta, on 06/21/2009, -8/+29If you are expecting a baby daughter in your family and are struggling with what name to choose, I think Neda would do just fine...
- norman619, on 06/21/2009, -1/+22It amazes me how any Iranian could shoot an unarmed brother or sister for simply voicing their displeasure with the obviously bogus election and the Iranian leadership as a whole. These men are traitors of the worst kind to their people.
- copypastry, on 06/22/2009, -0/+20Last I heard it was a Basij sniper and she was shot through the heart. Intentionally.
- jojomynojo, on 06/21/2009, -2/+21Most depressing thing on YouTube for sure. That's so sad.
RIP Neda - gcnaddict, on 06/21/2009, -3/+21If you could understand what they were saying, you wouldn't have made the statement you just made (regardless of whether you thought you were just being sarcastic, which I doubt given your other comments)... nor would you have posted this statement if you were a mentally competent human being.
Buried, blocked, and reported for being a troll. - inactive, on 06/21/2009, -3/+21The video in question:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlehNLfk90c
Hope they haven't taken it down, everyone needs to see this and how gruesome the situation is becoming.
Much luck, Iran, you're going to need it as you are sadly alone. I just hope at least one country will come to your aid, but I doubt it. Don't count on the UN as they won't do ***** (aside from sending a strongly worded letter, like always). - Recluse84, on 06/22/2009, -1/+19It has even happened in America
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings
Even a song about it. - norman619, on 06/21/2009, -1/+19EverybodyPanic:
Please point out where I wish death upon people who disagree with me. If that were the case I'm wish death upon you and a crap load of other people here on digg daily. Just look at my comment history to see how full of ***** you are. Nice try at painting me as something I am not. Do you get off on doing that? - TheTaoOfBill, on 06/21/2009, -1/+18EverybodyPanic
The video has been translated by many people. They are very concerned with the woman. They are screaming for Neda to not die. "Don't go Neda! Don't close your eyes Neda!"
For you to come on here and to say such hateful things when A. You clearly do not understand what happened. And B. You clearly do not understand Islam.
Until you get a brain please just stop commenting on this horrible tragedy. - imkidred, on 06/21/2009, -1/+18Thanks for the warning, I think I'd rather not have that heart break in my dreams right now. Sorry for her and her family and I hope those responsible get what they have coming to them.
- charm803, on 06/21/2009, -1/+18The difference is that Iranians are demanding change, and defying the Ayatollah's "demands."
Your lack of respect just shows your ignorance. - GEOFF361, on 06/21/2009, -2/+19Violence should never be advocated; but it is inspiring to see the Iranian people taking to the streets and fighting for something they truly beleive in. I hope that the people someday attain the freedom that they want so badly.
On the same note however; I hope that they do not stop soley at the issue of the presidency; Iran is a theocracy, and it is the regime itself that is flawed. The Supreme Leader holds all the real power in the country anyway. Hopefully the masses will continue their momentum and fight for thier beliefs. My only fear is that this is not going to be a short or bloodless battle. I don't think that Neda will be the only martyr to be come out of this conflict. -
