The thugs with knives and rocks chasing down protesters. Presidential backers belittling the opposition, accusing them of using "crude and contemptible ways of expression," to quote the Muslim Brotherhood. The pressure to go home and be quiet.
A few years ago, the thugs belonged to former President Hosni Mubarak. Now, Amin says, it's President Mohamed Morsy and his backers in the Muslim Brotherhood wielding the oppression.
