So, as a 'journalist' you were present on the scene and the photographs are yours? You have proof to support your claims? As a 'journalist' you are able to discern fact from fiction and should present the facts as they are. So, to clarify, you are a 'journalist' with categoric proof that what RT report happened, happened?

Was 46, not 460, sorry. Bit of a typo there.
Sadly they're all stomach churning bad (i.e corpses burnt black from head to toe and dead while trying to climb out of windows etc..) so I don't recommend clicking on it, but I guess it's the only thing that'll get the 'hoax callers' to shut up (I'm in the UK and the whole thing a broadcast live on the BBC).

There were scuffles between Ukrainian groups and police, then a few tear gas canisters went off, then the pro-Ukrainians went ballistic and started attacking police and throwing fire bombs at the building. As far as I'm aware, the pro-Russian supporters were trapped inside and not part of the buildup.
Not clear who had the real guns. But they were definitely being used by cornered pro-Russians inside the trade union building.

On the ground Howard Amos twittered:

Right now he reports that pro-Ukrainians are gathering, waiting for an attack of the pro-Russians. We have TWO groups ready to fight each other. There is no good killing on one side and bad killing on the other side. Let's hope that this does not escalate again!

"How vicious mob burnt anti-govt activists alive"
Ok...
Can I try a play on words?
How vicious _______ burnt __________ alive.
Insert your words how you see fit, kind of like mad libs.
Here's my example.
The most simplistic thing about this is, its human nature.
You can insert any belief or cause to justify any side, but in the end, this is the ever present darkside of humanity.
And its not going anywhere anytime soon.
To do this, is to be a human unfortunately.

Right....just because you don't like what you are seeing here you want this in the hoax bin ?
Ultra Nationalists who would burn buildings are Neo Nazis . Its really simple common sense
not at all.. As I stated its because you posted no source to support the lies you posted.
As I stated, twice now, answer the questions posted to you about the claims and the source.
ETA - Life News? You posted RT news as your op. Why the back pedal?
AM posting multiple sources , please stop showing your desperation .. Its what everyone does , when you don't like the news, either attack the OP or attack the source ..
Peaceful Russian protesters bringing in Molotov Cocktail draped in Ukranian flag and we have folks here asking for proof

The shooting occurred BEFORE the fire. 4 people on the pro ukraine side were killed leading to a lynch mob. They brought the violence on themselves when they attacked a protest. The motovs were made incase the protest came under attack i would wager. As for the "guns" dissapearing. Have you seen how fast supporters of palestinians in gaza pick up weapons to make it look like they were un armed? I am sure they were not checking all of the pro russians running out the buildings OR they hid them somwhere in the building.

a reply to: VovinPro and Contra both always claim, that they only defend themselves and that the other party is the aggressor.
You ignore the fact that it started with Pro-Russians who attacked the Pro-Ukranian demonstration and killed three of them. Then the manhunt began. It is that black & white thinking that the fighting comes up again and again. This does not help to come to peace.
At the moment a big crowd of pro-Ukrainians is marching through the town. They first went to a police station to talk to the new chief, since the old one was fired today because of the bloodshed and the inactivity of the police. Now they have split and about the half of them are marching to the burned out building. Let's hope, the other group is not around. Too many who are ready for a bloody standoff on both sides...
