Violent clashes between protesters and security forces in Pakistan’s southern port city of Karachi and in the country’s north left at least 22 people dead and more than 120 others injured as demonstrators supportive of the Iranian government attempted to storm a U.S. Consulate on Sunday, authorities said.
In the north of the country, demonstrators attacked U.N. and government offices.
The violence came after the United States and Israel attacked Iran, killing its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Police and officials at a hospital in Karachi said that at least 50 people were also wounded in the clashes and some of them were in critical condition.

The president of peace ladies and gentlemen
nothing of value lost
People should have a right to protest - even if they're dumbasses protesting for idiotic things. Devaluing a life just because the person behind it is a dumbass is very much a Nazi tactic. You don't dehumanise stupid. You help it realise and reconcile it's stupidity.
Sure?
What level of management speak is this?
I also like how you jumped from violent mobs tries to burn US consulate staff alive to: you need to have a calm moment with them, sit them down, have a chat, maybe some tea and talk it over? 🤣
I’m not sure you’d be quite so forgiving if you were inside the embassy about to be gang raped and beheaded
This is still my favourite violent mob:

Youch!
I’d like to know how you jumped from “demonstrators in support of the Iranian government” to “deserves to die.”
I didn’t say that, I said I don’t give a shit that they died
They violently attacked the US embassy hoping to kill everyone inside because they’re upset their evil dictator who last month murdered upwards of 30,000 people died.
See if I give a shit
People you don’t like are dead and you’re devaluing their lives. What makes you different from them?
Please learn from this.
How about this: I hope they died slowly, painfully, the same way Iranian protesters are when they’re tortured for days on end by the Iranian government those same people support
Cool. Who cares if the same thing happens to you?
You’re no better than they are. Also, I’m going to go ahead and block you. No one needs that kind of negativity and cruelty.
Absolutely. I devalue the lives of people hellbent on ending other people's lives.
I’m not sure I’d phrase it as a celebration, but the media referring to this as a protest is disingenuous at best. The number of videos I’ve seen of dudes shooting guns at the embassy is enough for me to come to my own conclusions about this “protest.”
And if you’re going to shoot at a building filled with American appointed officials, guarded by Marine Security Guards, you’re probably going to die doing so.
Ideally, this all could have been avoided by not starting another war, but here we are.
Lol. People thought the dem candidate was somehow a worse prospect.
But she was a lady, and black, and laughed, how could that have gone well…
If Democrats want to win elections, they need to run candidates that care about the working class.
Running on a platform of “deficit spending” is not enough. They need to raise taxes on the people taking us for a ride.
Of course! She would have started a war for greenland, hunted lgbt people and immigrants, and annexed mexico too! Without congessional approval!
Waiter! Ill have what the other guy is smoking!
If that stuff really matters to you, then you should encourage Democrats to support the working class so they don’t lose elections.
Ya. You said that to the other guy too.
Yes. A lot of you still don’t get it.
Because trump cares so much about the working class. Right. Way to explain your point.
You can keep repeating the same mistakes expecting different results and Republicans will continue to win elections. Or, you can learn from your mistakes and do something differently. Democrats use social issues to distract from fiscal ones, and people like you fall for it consistently.
Stop being part of the problem if you genuinely want to stop Republicans. What you’re currently doing is not working.
I dont have to repeat shit. It took just one bad move on the part of the sitouts to get us here. So while youre waiting on your ideal progressive candidate, the adults are trying to get things back to a manageable state. Then youre welcome to talk to me about changing stuff. Otherwise stfu or bend over and take trump like everyone else.
Ok. Hope you like JD Vance as president.
How much you wanna bet that guy will vote for Gavin Newsom.
Everything.
None of those things has anything to do with this war, so stop the pathetic attempt at a straw man. She absolutely would have continued support for Israel, who are the reason this war started. It still would have happened under her, with the exception that unthinking pubes like yourself would have zero objection to it since it was the “moral” side saying the killing was necessary. And you’re right, she wouldn’t have done it without congressional approval. Both sides of the aisle would have lined up for the chance to kill Arabs on behalf of their employers in Israel.
But the thing your atrophied blue MAGA brain will never be able to grasp, due to your rather limited American intellectual capacity and your belief in the exceptionalism of your nation, is that congressional approval doesn’t make something moral, or even the bare minimum of being within international law.
If she was president, I would still think the world would be a better place if the US president was assassinated and their government toppled.
Good for you! Enjoy your trump outcome then. Or do something about it other than venting to another internet nobody. Dumb american voters brought this on the world. They deserve every bit of ridicule they get.
This is a repulsive comment thread all around.
In this case, it doesn’t really matter.
Kamala is an Israeli puppet as well.
Yes but Kamala surely would have stood up to her employer and demanded they stop using the US government to kill Arabs! Trust me, bro, please!
You’re fucking delusional if you think she would have just randomly bombed Iran too
There’s nothing random about it.
How so?
Biden and Harris went along with child genocide and a state-engineered famine. They would 100% bomb Iran if Benny told them to.
No they didn’t. They still supported Israel, but they were making statements about tempering Israel’s approach. As Israel got worse and worse under trump’s encouragement, I’m pretty sure a democrat (or anyone sane) would have pushed back a lot more on Israel. Not enough, probably. But better is better.
LOL, they made statements about Israel’s approach for four years… but supported every single thing those murderers did. Their words are meaningless because when Benny tells them to jump, they jump.
And when Benny told them to bomb Iran, they’d have done it.
Obviously, you can’t know that, so you are just making things up to fit your world view. But whatever, if you’re happy with the destruction trump allowed on Gaza, I can’t help you. Good luck.
I love how Democrats suddenly pretend to care about these things once leadership changes.
All I heard from you for four years were excuses for genocide.
you mean the one who openly said she would keep on bombing gaza?
No, no you misheard him. He’s the president of Ps
GOP
Patriarchy
Protecting Pedophiles
I cannot believe Hillary Clinton allowed there to be another attack on a US embassy. She should have to answer questions before Congress about this
I would prefer she first answer more questions about her and Bill’s ties to a sex trafficker. It isn’t just Trump implicated in the Epstein files, and I don’t think anyone should get away with it. They should be digging into the darkest recesses of every single family whose surname is in those files.
But in the meantime, one of them is the current sitting president.
The reason the comment you reply to is ironic/funny and yours isn’t is because Hillary clinton herself hasn’t been mentioned a literal million times in the actual epstein files.
And also, she isn’t president and isn’t actually starting wars to cover for whatever her involvement is or is not. She isn’t really an actual factor in anything.
The security forces should not be protecting Americans. Let them face mob justice for what they’re doing.
I didn’t expect Pakistan protestors to be the ones that are showing us how it needs to be done.
Fyi, these are the same people that blockaded the country when…
…the government refused to execute that woman for blasphemy
Why did Biden pull us into another war?
Thanks Obama…
Impeach. Remove. Imprison.
Oops. Forgot. We worship pedophiles in America.

So Pakistanis are killing Pakistanis in Pakistan because of the USA. Interesting times we live in.
Did they expect a different response when storming a consulate building?
