US Backed Honduran Coup Hits A Few Snags
Send in the marines. McDonalds is sacrosanct.
Violent protests hit isolated Honduras
"TEGUCIGALPA — Honduran police fired tear gas to disperse thousands of angry demonstrators, as ousted President Manuel Zelaya called on the United States to do more to resolve the crisis.
Zelaya supporters clashed with riot police, who used tear gas and batons to beat back those marching on the national parliament building in the capital Tegucigalpa.
Protesters threw stones and broke the windows of several nearby businesses, ignoring police warnings of a crackdown.
An angry mob attacked a lawmaker known to back the June 28 coup against Zelaya, before police mounted a successful rescue.
Around 50 demonstrators were detained during the clashes, which came a day after rioters torched the local branch of a fast food chain."
