El Nacional claimed that the objective of those attacking opposition protesters is to kill since many of the protesters that were killed were shot in vulnerable areas like the head and that, "9 of the 15 dead people were from the 12F demonstrators, who were injured by state security forces or paramilitaries linked to the ruling party."
《国民报》表示，攻击反对派示威者的目标是要致其于死地，因此许多示威者都是头部等脆弱地区中枪而身亡，“12场示威中15名死者中，有9名被国家安全部队或与执政党勾结的准军事组织所伤。
