I kind of feel the same way. In one of the videos, the UN observer was trying to get out of the house but the people were just so excited that they all wanted to get a chance to tell him their story. When they visited Homs they were getting a tour from the FSA so the crowding is understandable. Lt. Tlass, the commander of the resistance in Homs wanted to show them all the destruction. When they came under fire, the observers tried to put themselves in the way it looks like but the civilians decided to shield them. To the locals of Homs, those observers are the only chance they got. If I lived there, I'd be defending them with my life as well.Originally Posted by TheEvian100

Syrian Army firing on protesters in Hama, I'm presuming after the observers just left:
Syrian security forces torture a man. They whip the bottom of his feet because they're so sensitive and they don't leave obvious marks. It commonly breaks bones:

I can't believe people are supporting terrorists on this forum. Those are the same people killing US soldiers in Iraq, yet if you switch the country to Syria it becomes legit? shame.
@Gresh are you really playing that game bro ? This is the reason why the Syrian Army was firing at "peaceful protestors" who were using the UN observers are cover:
Jesus H. Christ on a superbike, this guy just went full retard.
Too many web-cam brigades, fanatics, retards. This insurgency is lucky to be still alive. Lets see how it plays out.
You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Same old "they both wear a keffiyeh, so they must be terrorists" argument. The guys with AK's in that video were their FSA escorts. They wanted to protect what they view as their only hope for peace. The job of the UN observer is to go there and speak to both sides. In Homs, they had FSA escorts. In Hama the next day, they had Syrian Army escorts. Those same Army escorts began firing on civilians from rooftops who showed up to speak to the UN observers the moment the observers left the area. The FSA holds that neighborhood in Homs, so of course they have guns. Learn a little more about the conflict before commenting.
I am sorry I will stop posting them. Its just we have almost no videos of the syrian army and this is all we have of the FSA since the ceasefire. Again sorry I will stop posting them.Jesus H. Christ on a superbike, this guy just went full retard.

He has a point though. The insurgents don't help their cause by strolling on the streets of populated areas with AKs, making the Army to open up on them (righfully so one would think). The whole concept of UN observers is ridiculed when insurgents use them as shields to move around their forces or re-group or make whatever PR stunts online. Same goes when Assad usues the ceasfire for various tactical reasons. The insurgents' agenda is clear, they want the international community to finance their revolution, do the bombing for them and then rule that country.
No, no. Don't stop, keep it up. We need to see the vids.

I don't think it's a valid reason since they open up on them for gathering anyway. They do it to silence the locals. One of the videos from the observer visit in Hama shows the Syrian Army guy on the roof prancing around and mocking the opposition cameraman. Once the observers left, they unload. The Syrian Army gets orders to fire on protesters from their superiors just for showing up. I've seen it happen dozens of times when there are no visibly armed people in the crowd. I think it's perfectly legitimate to be walking around with a gun to protect the observers. At the end of that video, the armed people get out of the way and regular people run up to shield the observers with their bodies. They weren't forced to do that. The Syrian Army aren't the one getting shelled from sun up to sun down.
I think it's a pretty natural reaction when the Army puts curfews in place that only allow women to go out to shop at designated times, and all males who walk the streets are subject to get fired on. Why do you think there's so many stories of people just getting shot randomly by Army snipers?
[QUOTE=gresh;6143378]Besides videos from the FSA, do you actually have any proof? Have you been in Syria?
