Al-Merehbi Opens Fire in the Air to Disperse Traffic by ISF Patrol
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Al-Mustaqbal MP Moeen al-Merehbi allegedly fired shots in the air to disperse a bumper-to-bumper traffic in the northern city of Tripoli caused by an Internal Security Forces unit.
According to a communique issued by ISF general directorate, the patrol was removing a building violation in the Beddawi area when the lawmaker arrived at the scene and demanded the ISF unit to remove the checkpoint as it was causing bumper-to-bumper traffic.
The officers explained to MP Merehbi their task, asking him to contact caretaker Interior Minister Marwan Charbel and address the matter with him.
The statement added that the MP started insulting the patrol then headed back to his car, took a Kalashnikov and opened fire in the air.
Al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Monday that Merehbi then lost his balance and tripped into a water channel. But the MP stood up and started shooting in the air again, which prompted an ISF member to knock him on the road.
The ISF communique said that Merehbi also attempted to remove one of the patrol cars, but the driver stopped him and the two men scuffled.
The statement said that an investigation was opened into the incident.

If that is true, he should be tried and if convicted put in jail.

If this incident is true, then it behooves Al Mustaqbal to immediately dissociate itself from him. Such arrogant and irresponsible behavior runs counter to acceptable civilized behavior. I would even support a motion in parliament to lift his immunity against prosecution so he may be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
This is definitely not the example one wants Lebanese youth to follow.

Typical February 14 Saudi-Wahabi MP, thinking the country belongs to a royal family and he is one of the princes. Have this terrorist arrested for disrupting civil order and throw him in the Roumieh prison.

I personally lean towards March 14 and I strongly refuse and feel disgusted by the actions of MP Merhebi if the allegations are true. Who does he think he is? I am personally fed-up with Lebanese politicians and who say that only politicians can run this country. Are they blind? They destroyed the country. To hell with all of them.
