The Arabic name of the town is كفرنبل or كفر نبل and if you search for that text at youtube and you'll see what I'm talking about. Here are a few examples where you'll see the same sort of English signage and you can observe a good few protesters wearing tennis shoes:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8019US65wo (Friday protest 25 Nov 2011)<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jDi0kWluVM (Friday protest 23 Dec 2011)<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1J0y2nLfYE (Friday protest 23 Dec 2011)<br /><br />I've been intermittently looking at the crowd size at Friday protests at Kefr Nabl in particular, since early April. They've always been peaceful to the best of my knowledge -- I haven't looked every week. The fundamental law abidingness of the protesters week after week has been a key reason why they've been able to sustain their turnout numbers and good spirits, I believe. The governmment has never attempted to disperse a Friday protest in Kefr Nabl to my knowledge and I repeat I've watched many different dates of Friday videos coming out of this particular town all through the year.<br /><br />A different point about Friday-Lunch-Club's photo is that the faces in the photos are way too at ease to be in a paramilitary training camp getting ready to get into a fight with the mighty Syrian army. The Maryland notion would be more plausible than that to my mind.parviziyihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161999649807905795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876012087863461251.post-13126710787951290992011-12-23T14:11:53.935-05:002011-12-23T14:11:53.935-05:00Drawing on my lebanese civil war "sense"...Drawing on my lebanese civil war "sense" I enhanced this photo and removed the shadows in order to get a better look at the people behiend the banner, here is what I came up with:<br /><br />None of the people in the photo seem to be older then 40 years of age .<br /><br />12 out of the 12 people in the photo who's heads are not coverd seem to have a 4 to 6 weeks worth of hair on their heads indicating that they have not been to town for a while.<br /><br />16 out of 16 pairs of feet showing bellow the banner are wearing tennis shose, in a syrian village in winter, what are the odds.<br /><br />4 people standing immediatly behined the banner are wearing the exact model tennis shose indicating that they didn't bring their own "training" shose and a standerd teniss shose was issued for them.<br /><br />These guys are in a paramilitary training camp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
