#Hezbollah and #Amal thugs attacking protesters in Beirut center, like the "Brownshirts" of the 1930s. Cameras filming by the 100s, documenting the attacks and the perpetrators.

Honest to gosh! That's so and this is happening, it's exactly as the tweet says above. Glad the police/military was there to keep some of this down.

Unrest in Lebanon Is a Wrench in Hezbollah and Iran’s Plans — But It Won’t Stop Them
by Eyal Zisser / Israel Hayom / JNS.org
JNS.org – Saturday saw another day of mass protests in Lebanon. The government’s promises to implement economic reforms and rescind taxes, alongside threats by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah that his organization won’t sit idly by if the demonstrations continue, didn’t stop Lebanon’s youth from flooding the streets and keeping the country paralyzed.
The fact that the protests lack a guiding hand, or any discernible leadership — not to mention any defined goals aside from vague slogans calling for “change to the system in Lebanon†— is making it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s also safe to assume that the bitterness, frustration, and anger harbored by the youth for politics and politicians — the same cohort of corrupt hedonists who have brought Lebanon to the precipice of economic ruin — will continue fueling the protests.
Lebanon is not alone. In Iraq, too, bloody protests have engulfed the country in recent days, also spearheaded by restless, hopeless youth. While it is encouraging to see that the younger generation of Arabs refuse to continue accepting a reality of failure and backwardness, sadly, these protests won’t catalyze any real change.

The state of the world seems very sad right now.
