Learned buddy.
Every violent militia attracts thugs and criminals. Its the nature of the beast. That does not in any way mean the militia condones criminal or thuggish behavior, but you cannot tell me it doesn't happen.
As to the kids I saw yesterday, I'm sure they are Shiites, considering the area they were in, and the fact that they are fond of Hizbullah, but my question to you is 'why weren't they posting pictures of 'berri'', because the violent element of Hizbullah provides the thrill factor, many thugs tend to look upto.
