Three American students in Cairo arrested during the violent new eruption of pro-Democracy protests in Tahrir Square were paraded Tuesday on Egyptian TV, looking stressed and scared. The trio studying Arabic at the American University in Cairo was accused of throwing firebombs from a rooftop at the military forces struggling to keep control of the country.
Egyptian state television showed their student IDs lined up on a desk Sweeney, 19, a Georgetown University student from Jefferson City, Mo.; Luke Gates, 21, an Indiana University student from Bloomington, Ind.; and Gregory Porter, 19, a Drexel University student from Glenside, Pa.
Before his arrest, in a series of Twitter posts starting Sunday, Gates described being in the middle of the increasingly violent protests.
“We were throwing rocks and one guy accidentally threw his phone,” he reported.
“Earlier tonight, rubber bullets, a charge and then a retreat. My knee and elbow are (expletive) up,” he said.
“I thi nk I am missing part of my ear. Should I cut the rest off and pull a Van Gogh?”
Gates seemed energized by the fervor.
“Wish the protests in New York looked like the ones in Tahrir,” he wrote.

Does any of them belong to the blessed or chosen ones?

I suspect 1 of them might. The mouthy one perhaps? He sounds like an instigator to me.

I'm curious to know who their parents are and how they are related to TPTB.

Blue Collars don't typically attend school in countries on the other side of the world. You know. It's a money thing.
