A whole bunch of thugs figuring out themselves as troopers of God (“Jnoud El-Rab”) attacked partygoers at a bar, beating them up, threatening the proprietor and destroying furnishings. How did the safety forces reply? They stopped them from getting into the bar, helped company to flee the place however didn’t arrest any. In the meantime, Nour Hajjar shared a joke on the Lebanese Military working as Toters, and he’s being summoned by the Army Police at their barracks in Rihaniyye.
It’s fairly ironic that each these occasions occur on the identical time to showcase the unhappy state our nation is in. How is it potential {that a} joke, thoughts you a tasteless one, will get you summoned by the Army police but thugs attacking harmless partygoers is just not a giant deal.
I didn’t like Nour’s sketch, I discovered the joke offensive and inappropriate, nevertheless it’s nonetheless stand-up comedy and offensive & darkish jokes are a part of the occupation. You don’t like them, mute or block them. It’s not that onerous. In actual fact, I do know Nour is just not a giant fan of the weblog and has made few jokes on myself and the weblog. Some jokes I discovered humorous, others not likely however that’s about it.
The Lebanese Military is a delicate challenge and a purple line to many in Lebanon. I agree and respect that, however Lebanese who died on the Beirut Port explosion are additionally a purple line, and our flesh pressers by no means stop to disrespect and insult them and their households day-after-day by stalling the investigation. Don’t suppose they should be interrogated and jailed? Or we get outraged solely once we really feel prefer it?
We have to select our battles properly and cease losing time on distractions. Stand-up comedy is comedy and one other type of expression. You don’t prefer it or can’t deal with it, don’t watch it.
