QUESTION:
There was a discussion here probably Friday night/early Sat am about these guys in black with orange armbands that look like bad news. Then this pic showed up a few breads ago in notables (>>4250580 pb), where it was billed as a claim that they are thugs hired by Macron to beat up French protesters. They DO look like thugs but the claim is made on the website of the "Friends of Syria."
Who is this group that makes this claim? Anybody know? They seem sketchy; there's no sauce at all on the website. I tried to find out more, but don't have enough background on Syria to sort out the wheat from the chaff.
