10 Ridiculous Tweets About the Saida Clashes
After yesterday’s Saida clashes made local and international headlines, the interwebs erupted with a volley of tweets, Facebook posts, youtube videos, and blogposts. While some of the commentators remained hopeful, others, among them Myriam Klink and Lara Kay, spoke of their thoughts in depressing, ridiculous, and almost comedic posts.
So it’s without further ado that I present 10 of the most outrageous Saida-related tweets from yesterday. Take heed though, reading this may cause you to lose your faith in humanity. I already lost mine long ago.

5. Al-Assir
Ahmad Al-Assir who started the fighting in Saida might have been arrested. I say if your surname means ‘hostage’, don’t go trying your luck.

9. Ah, the Lebanese Media
1 thing 4 sure: NOTHING makes Lebanese media move past 9 PM. Not clashes in Tripoli, gunshots in Saida, murders in Ersal or booms in Baabda!

Before you watch this half-minute video of a maked-up monkey stuffed in heels, I must warn you: do not (I repeat, do not) blame me if you get cancer. Godspeed.
