27 Murdered in Cairo Riot

Last December, 26 children and adults died at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Gun banners immediately attacked law-abiding gun owners and the National Rifle Association.

Today, the Associated Press reported that two soccer players were among the 27 murdered during a riot over an earlier soccer-related riot:

Violence erupted in Port Said after a judge sentenced 21 people to death in connection with a Feb. 1 soccer melee that killed 74 fans of the Cairo-based Al-Ahly team.

The two soccer players were shot during this riot:

Dr. Abdel-Raham Farah says Mahmoud Abdel-Halim al-Dizawi, a soccer player in Port Said’s Al-Marikh club, was shot three times and died.

He says Tamer al-Fahla, a soccer player who used to play for the city’s main Al-Masry team, was also shot dead on his way to Al-Marikh club.

According to Small Arms Survey, Egyptians own a mere 35 firearms per 1,000 population, compared to America’s 888 per 1,000.

There’s been no response yet from Dianne Feinstein or the Brady Campaign over this most recent mass murder.
