This is disgusting.. we need more Camera’s all over Lebanon to catch these thieves in action.. but the question is.. even if and when they are caught, will they be brought to justice?
Not if they belong or are affiliated with certain members of a corrupt organization ..they are even getting away with mass assassinations and murders of many prominent political figures.
How can there be justice in Lebanon when justice is not being served?
I might look violent, but i think that there should be a law for a predefined period of time, which condemen to death each and every Robber trying to rob the Hand bag of a woman, and when 2 or 3 robbers will be prosecuted (regardless Human rights cause theses people should never be considered humans, and sure not animals) won’t see such behavior as frequent as we are seeing it these days!
the police probably knows very well who did this (because he/they already did it countless numbers of times in the past) and won’t do shit beside sitting on their fat asses, smoke cigarettes and drink coffee…
This happened to me about a year ago in the middle of the highway near Paul, Gemmayze, except that I let go of the bag (which had my laptop and other valuable stuff) and still fell on the ground from the pull… The police’s reaction? “You should be happy they didn’t hurt you.. this happens all the time. It’s good they didn’t have a knife”..
Now I walk around with all my arms wrapped around my bag…
Police? The police in Lebanon is corrupted..imagine one asked a tourist this summer for 50$ in order not to give him a ticket because he didn’t have a…Lebanese driving license! When the concerned person told me the story i thought we were living in Mexico or Albania.
Thanks a lot. I could not hold back my laughter after Ralph’s comment. That’s the problem of Lebanese. They think they are better then everyone. They have lost track of the world since 1970’s. Wake up lads; partying in clubs does not add up to modernity nor civility. You guys seem like caged animals oblivious of the rotation of the Earth.

Ain el remmeneh is the center of such crimes ,it’s the most corrupt area
This is maskhara! It’s even mas-khara. It happened on “Sheri3 el 3areed”, not in some alley!!
It’s becoming the wild wild west; i wouldn’t mind owning a gun and shooting such people in their feet if such thing happens to me

Ralph, with all due respect, but do you seriously think Lebanon is any better off than either Albania or Mexico?
Unlike Lebanon, Albania doesn’t have any sectarian divisions AND they’ve had 3G for a while.
As for Mexico, they know how to properly market their tourism industry and make it work.
Yeah, from where I’m sitting it would appear that both Mexico and Albania have at least 1 up on Lebanon.
