According to Human Rights groups there are over 8500 Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

Syrian security forces opened fire Friday as thousands of anti-government protesters took to Syria’s streets in a weekly ritual of defiance and demands for President Bashar Assad’s ouster, activists said. Syria-based human rights activist Mustafa Osso said at least fifteen people, including a child, were killed in Damascus and Homs .

No offense, but its time for the Syrians to man up and show some balls they are just letting themselves get killed, time to buy arms.

In Libya they didnt take this shit for much longer and start fighting back.

What a joke 15 killed everyday, and the worlds watching like its going to be peaceful tomorrow.

Technically, a few weeks ago, they had already committed an act of war by wounding a Lebanese Army man at a border crossing who tried to help some women crawling to the border … they think they can fire on women and children right up to a line in the dirt at border-crossings, ignoring the fact bullets don’t see the line to stop at, so they must think they can walk over the line and bash heads any time they wish too. What cowardly filth they are firing at the backs of already-wounded (and never armed) people. Anyone in Lebanon who thinks Syria’s people deserve what Assad is doing to them will also find his ‘security ghouls’ cutting pieces out of them soon too …

And the Al@@ui dogs that are controlling(and doing) the shooting are aiming specifically at anyone who exhibits signs of leadership. The Hyena will continue this until he has killed off all signs of willpower and leadership in the people of Syria. You want this ‘man’ living in an Alouite enclave in north Lebanon?? After his bullets have already entered Lebanon??
