مقتل شربل رحمة بإطلاق نار بعد عبوره حاجزا للجيش عند جسر المدفون دون توقف

WHAT??? NO CIVIL WAR FOR THIS GUY >>???????

Come on retards, light tires, and start bombing your neighbors !!

banana republic of lebanon

That's Wrong , shoot the Tires or fallow the driver and arrested him !!

such a waste

typical, my comments never get published on here. lol (but this one will just to show me i'm a dork, but hooray! my comment got posted! thank you!)

Is M14 using people as cannon fodder to spark civil conflict?

I don't understand why the army is told to shoot and aim to kill when not directly threatened. Haven't they told them to shoot at the car to bring it to a halt. Like shooting at the tires or something like that.
I do support the army but not actions like that.
-The incident at mar mikhail few years ago
-The incident last week in Akkar
-This incident.

The army general should issue a comminque warning army personnel from aiming to kill unless directly threatened else soldiers will be put on trial. They are their to protect lebanon and the citizens regardless of their believes..period!!

What's up with the army!?! slowly but surely becoming like that of the syrian regime's

What's wrong with our lousy army. Seriously, disagreeing to have a vehicle searched means signing our own death sentence? I don't care if the victim is M8 or M14. Such practices should be severely punished. What an ackward country... Hopeless. The army should burst the tires with a chain made of nails, then only shoot the tires... Never at the person unless the driver tries to run them over with the car (it can become a weapon in itself). The soldier in charge should serve life in Roumieh...

So far the army has done nothing wrong.

I agree with most of you, why not have the tires slashed, they always had it ready to slide it under the tires. Plus they could have shot the tires instead. It is strange his brother is a major in the army, he should had more respect for them. Anyway, God bless his soul, his life was wasted for a simple mistake.

why you lebanese don't want to follow the law of the land
when police officer says stop, that means stop stop to anuone
that's why you deserve to die
follow the law

Army of savages!

JC it s not Strange ,cause his brother is a major in the army.bikoun khayo el battal eyelo ma twa2if ala 7ajez .cause hayde el siyara fiya badlet jeish so YE7TERMO EL JOKE asde el badle

Sorry for him and his family.

...but why does half of the article all of a sudden talk of the akkar incident?

There is more questions to this case. What was found in his car ( if anything)?
Why didnt he want to be searched?
What is the orders the army troops have if a car refuses to stop?

Maybe nothing was wrong according to army standars, where somebody does not stop at a checkpoint, they are ordered to shoot.

So please Naharnet, more info!

Obviously an M-16 is not powerful enough. He almost escape. Next time they should use the heavy caliber guns they have mounted on APCs. Or maybe rockets.
Against a civilian, this would be more fair.

to the editors\
I guess you don't like to put any independant constructive comments in your site
always the same sick and demented commentary from the same people

Police and law enforcement brutality that ends up in a fatality have happened in many countries including western countries like Australia, Canada, US etc.

This type of response is typical for some expatriates who vilify Lebanon at every corner while idealizing western nations so they can hide some deep seated insecurity.

We are not perfect, but nations are never built by people sitting abroad judging every aspect of there home country.

There is no excuse to kill people unless someone committed murder and were tried under the law.
I hate to break it to you but what we are hearing are not the core values of what the army are taught: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage.
If this person disrespected the checkpoint soldiers, then he should have been punished but not killed.

i am personally coming from melbourne to beirut to hunt down flamethrower

Not that I want to spark more idiotic responses from double standards commentators but I have a few comments of my own:
3- This guy's brother is a Major in the army, I am sure he knows better than to dart off from a checkpoint or refuse to stop. There must be more to the story than what OTV or other news agencies are saying ... I hope we will get to know ... it would be unfair to just think that this guy is a criminal when the story might be totally different! or not ... but at least we would know.
4- When will this graceful army start shooting at the Syrian army that is killing and shooting the Lebanese people??? since they are soooo capable at aiming and shooting I assume they are not short of bullets ... let them go to the border and do their job as army and protectors of our land.

again, well said...too cynical for my beliefs but well said.

@FleasThrower, did you apologize for wanting to shoot us in the head and to dissolve us in acid? What? No? Not yet? Then, STFU.

@mowated, couldn't disagree with you more on this last gem. Coca-Cola calling the shots??? C'mon man, you making sense up to that point.

I meant @mowaten and not @mowated (typo)

You should try living abroad. There are a few countries in the world where the politicians are forced to serve the people. northern europe, singapore, australia, and new zealand.

For some reason Naharnet did not put the first two points that I mentioned (notice they started with 3&4). Granted that my comment now sounded out of context and blamed the army. The army is a red line for everyone, but the soldiers are human and prone to committing mistakes. I just asked for clarification & accountability. something your government refuses to do and you seem OK with that. And in order for you to understand me clearly and don't worry to figure out what am I emplying: U R AN IDIOT who like some soldiers shoot from the hip without figuring out what is going on.

Yes, when you apologize, maybe I'll stop. People like you must be held accountable.

mouwaten isnt wrong. the real power in the world now is money and resources. corporations have enough power and leverage over politicians in the world now that they can mold policies to their advantage.. no one really cares what happens to people as long as their only choices involve consumerism

its about time the lebaneese people learn how to respect the Army and Police and follow the Law regardless if you were Christian or Muslim or whatever you religion might have been.
and i hope our stupid leaders stop going on tv for publicity reasons and talk all kind of shit !!! we should all respect the army and follow the law !

So Stupid to comment that way i know the Madfoun check point very well and they have tools to destroy car tires few meters ahead of the checkpoint, they intended to kill him because he was a rahmeh. it was the same in the May 8 when the army tried to kill Fares Soueid in front of the LF office the officer back then shouted to his men kill him! and then when they found out that he was not in the car they turned around and fired on us to keep us away of the scene. The army is contaminated by the 14-8 disease. Some officers are pro 8 some others are pro 14 either way it is so silly. the army needs a homogenous government in order to not be confused
