The good, the bad and the ugly!

The good:

Today was the 4th commemoration of Rafic Hariri’s assassination. Most of the companies were off today (except the one I work for) so the best thing was the empty streets in the morning, the road from Sodeco to Jdeideh took 7 minutes via Achrafiyyeh! Ya3ne reit kil yom 14 shbat.

The bad:

In the afternoon we got amused in our neighborhood by fights between people retruning back from the martyr’s square and others from Amal and Hizbullah (I assume).

I witnessed a Mercedes being literally destroyed by around 15 guys armored with iron rods (w mish 7a ni3lon 3an mouyoulon il siyeisiyyeh halla2 3al hawa).

The ugly:

The Mercedes I mentioned above had 5 passengers, and the 15 guys with the rods were beating the hell out of them INSIDE the car. I don’t know the reason why the car has stopped by these guys or why the driver was unable to drive it away of them… but anyway it was a very disturbing scene.

Update:

The horrible:

One of the readers asked wether I reported what I saw to the authorities or not. I was actually in my car with my brother, and there ware soldiers 20 meters away from the fight, so when we passed by them my brother was like “What are you doing here? There’s a fight there and people are getting beaten!!”. Now guess what one soldier answered, “3am nshimm il haw”… (w no comment).

I hope “anon” has an answer by now.
