At the time of this writing it is 1:10 am in Kiev. Reports now claim 18 civilian opposition protestors have been shot dead by police. The government appears to have fire-bombed the Headquarters of the opposition movement. Things are spiraling toward slaughter:
At least 20 killed and more than a thousand wounded #Euromaidan protesters as of now. Hospitals in #Kyiv are packed
