The view from my window at about 1:30 a.m. last night. They came around five or six times total (honestly, I lost count). Did the same thing last month before the “days of rage” that never came to be, but these are bigger and louder.
You can see boys hanging out of the car windows holding Syrian flags and framed photos of the president. They’re also chanting “bi rouh, bi dam, nefdik ya bashar” and “allah, suriya, bashar wa bas,” which mean “in soul, in blood, we sacrifice for you, Bashar” and “God, Syria, Bashar, and nothing else.”
