A day after the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, local residents held a demonstration to express their support for the United States and their indignation at the radical Islamists’ violence.

The gathering took place at Al-Shajara square. Demonstrators held posters with messages including, “Benghazi is against terrorism” and “Sorry Chris, Benghazi couldn’t protect you.”


This photo of the demonstration was posted on Facebook.

Stupid ragheads, point your fake signs UPWARDS, because that’s how you’ll look through the FLIR of an MQ-9 Reaper.

Has to be a photo op. I saw a thread yesterday showing them with the signs, sometimes 2-3 different people holding the same sign. Pretty obvious they were given these signs to hold and even some the expressions they still had sarcastic smirks like they knew this was a ruse.

Too late goat ropers. You and your mulhamamadman evil will continue to be taught to your children until you are eliminated.

Stop raising your children to be evil and exert control over your current population of perversion and we’ll check back in 20 years.

Until then, kill each other if you must kill to be fulfilled.

Agreed. If any of these people are still breathing tomorrow, that’s all the proof we need.

You can’t hold the community responsible for the actions of criminals. But they should seek out and turn in the monsters who did this bad deed.

Ahh yes. Little Omar always did know where to place his apostrophes.

But in all seriousness, it's really hard to get a purchase order through Langley for those really fat Sharpies.

Oh man this is going to be a quiet thread.

I believe there are good people (and bad) wherever you go, so maybe there are some good earnest people in this protest. The people responsible need to burn..if not here, then in hell!

Big CYA moment. They don’t want to see cruise missiles heading their way. Sorry to be so negative about it. But I just can’t see it any other way anymore.

I think I see a “Priorities USA” on the bottom of one of those signs

Look at the signs. They're all written with the same script and possibly by the same person given the nature of the handwriting. It doesn't take a handwriting expert to see these are fake.

Besides, think about it. In most dirt-poor north African and middle-eastern countries, the children are barely educated let alone taught the written English language.

If these were in Arabic and translated as such, I might believe it, but because these are in English and almost universally the same script, I'd bet some diplomats went around the neighborhoods and told them, "If you don't show up and hold up these signs for the cameras, American Marines will show up and kill you in your sleep."

Amazing how fluent these people are in English. (Could this be any more staged?)
