Kinda like Ukraine, both sides started shooting at eachother at the same time, if you're the army and you're getting shot at, you will counter with shots.
And it's never an excuse to start the beheadings, suicide bombings, kidnappings, mass murders. I don't give a fukk how bad they've got it, I've got a female cousin which is 15 which has dissapeared in FSA territory and her mother has been kidnapped twice, no ransom demands yet the second time, god knows if they'Re even still alive.
Sorry but the whole rebel side needs to be demolished and sterilized. There's no humanity and even the moderates when you hear their victory chants, it's always about slaughtering the Alawites and Christians.
I never liked the rebels to be honest
