while others loot bags of CASH from central bank as it's confirmed the despot has fled the country
Gleeful Syrians ransacked Bashar al-Assad's presidential palace in Damascus today of Louis Vuitton items after rebel soldiers stormed the capital.
Scores of people can be seen in one video within the palace's walls raiding cupboards of the president and his British-born glamorous wife Asma al-Assad's expensive possessions.
Duvets and linen bed sheets are strewn on the floor while one person can be seen holding an orange Louis Vuitton box as they walk up a flight of stairs and pass another looter carrying a bulging bag stuffed full of items.
People posed for selfies in hallways while another snap showed an rebel sitting at desk in an office where maps could be seen scattered on the table and floor.
Dozens of al-Assad's luxury vehicles have also been seized after rebels broke into his supercar garage filled with Mercedes, Ferraris, and Audis.
Others have reportedly looted Syria's Central Bank with people seen carrying bags full of cash.
The Assad's brutal 53-year dynasty rule over the country came to a lightning speed end with the fall of the capital.
Syrians have jubilantly celebrated in the streets while state television showed opposition fighters milling around al-Assad's presidential palace.
Despot al-Assad reportedly fled on a plane this morning to an unknown destination as rebel forces closed in.
The opposition fighters reached the suburbs of the capital yesterday for the first time since the region was recaptured by government troops in 2018.

Sic Semper Tyrannis
He’ll be replaced with another thug, only worse.
The only question is whose will it be.
Looks like the Russians have decided they can’t afford this particular client state any longer.
They’re behaving like blacks.
“ Sic Semper Tyrannis”
That’s what some said at the fall of the Shah of Iran, before a much worse regime took over.
Consider that a hard hand may be necessary in Islamic cultures, to keep a lid on the craziness inherent in Islam.
They’re looting the Food King!
All blacks? Or just some blacks? Come on. We are better than that please.
Not all blacks act like that but….when someone acts like that it’s almost always blacks.
In a college class that is a critical distinction.
On the street it is an irrelevant distinction.
Sorry. I never went to college. I have always been more of a hands on guy. ;)
“You have to ask: who benefits from the apparent collapse of the Assad regime.”
I think we’re about to see another wave of refugees. It’s the little people whose lives are destroyed by people sitting comfortably in tenth floor executive offices a continent away. Not that I have a better suggestion about anything regarding the Middle East. Other than, stay away. Far away.
Enjoy the pillaging and looting while you can folks because soon you will be lined up against the wall and shot. Such is the fate of revolutionaries and counter revolutionaries.
Nobody kills, rapes, tortures and gets killed better than the Muslim Arabs. This is their art and gift the the world.
That’s what I’m wondering.
A lot seem to be jumping on this as some sort of victory. BUT remember when everyone was celebrating the death of Gaddafi after Killary and Obummer ousted him?
Well whats Libya like today?
It’s considered one of the worst shit holes on the planet:
“ Militias, armed groups and security forces across Libya intensified their suppression of dissent, and attacks on civil society. Thousands of people remained arbitrarily detained in conditions violating the absolute prohibition of torture and other ill-treatment, while hundreds of peaceful protesters, activists, journalists and others were arrested solely because of the peaceful exercise of their human rights. Militias and armed groups killed and wounded civilians and destroyed civilian infrastructure during intensified armed hostilities. Armed groups forced thousands of people out of their homes, including in reprisal for their alleged affiliation or to appropriate their lands. Amid pervasive impunity and ongoing funding and integration of abusive militias and armed groups in state institutions, calls for accountability grew in the aftermath of the staggering loss of life, destruction and forced displacement in the wake of Storm Daniel. Discrimination and violence against women and girls remained pervasive. LGBTI individuals continued to be subjected to arbitrary arrests, unjust prosecution and other abuse. Ethnic minorities continued to face discrimination and barriers to accessing health, education and other services. Refugees and migrants, including those intercepted at sea by EU-backed coastguards and armed groups, were subjected to torture and other ill-treatment, extortion and forced labour; thousands were forcibly expelled without due process.”
“...looted Syria’s Central Bank with people seen carrying bags full of cash...”
And THESE thugs will be demanding help from the UN ... WHO WILL GIVE IT
And that boys and girls is what a real insurrection looks like.
I don’t think taking all the cash is going to matter. In the span of the next few days that money will be worth nothing more than something to burn to keep the populace warm.
