Syria civil war: Video claims L.A. gang members are fighting for Assad- Fergalicious


http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/05/world/meast/syria-los-angeles-gang-members-video/index.html?hpt=imi_c1

 

Two men are claiming to be from the L.A. area and have posted a video shooting rifles over a cement wall and are fighting in the Syrian civil war for President Bashar al-Assad. The F.B.I are looking into it because the men are putting gang signs up and keep referring too "gang banging" and "their homies" they are also shooting at enemies but the video never shows the enemies. They find it to be unusual because many Americans have gone to fight against Assad and not for him. 

Do you think they are threatening the U.S. and do you think something should be done about the video?

Im not sure if this is a direct threat against the U.S, but a close eye should be kept on them because it might be. The video should be taken off by the government, if they want.

In all seriousness, I think that this is a joke and that the people who made this video do not know what they are getting into.

I think that under american law they can do what they want but if they begin to attack america they should be stopped. The video is their right to speech so it can't be put down.

I don't think publicity should get into this story or else the situation could blow out of control. I think this is not a big deal as long as people don't make it one. I don't think the people who made the video though, know the message they could be sending across.

I dont think it is a direct threat to the U.S but i think they are just trying to show how they can be.

Individual Response by Timothy Ingle 3/11/14:

If it's gang related, it shouldn't be on the internet or television for children to have the opportunity to see. It seems like they are causing trouble and need to Turn UP!... I mean turn down. Turn down for what? for being in a video being claimed as gang members and a possible threat to the U.S.
