@kempess82 DUDE I AM from Libya i had to leave because Gaddafi soldiers came into my house and kicked us out. protesters started walking in the streets saying that they want Gaddafi to leave and he shoot fire on us first. What do u want us to do site there and watch our brothers and sisters die NO we fight for OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

@kempess82 r u serious? did u not follow what happened in libya also? like lupe, u need to research n truly understand what happened before you make ridiculous claims. its an insult to all those who died peacefully in the first days. gaddafi was the most violent in his reaction to peaceful protesters because he is not a peaceful man. the people responded by taking over his barracks to get weapons to defend themselves from his violence. only after they took over the barracks, they got GUNS!

looool Malice was in the army for a bit - he must feel pissed

@mks989 I think you are very wrong to criticise what Lupe says on Libya. He is completely right. The protesters were not completely peaceful. Where did all the gunz come from all of a sudden? They are rebels in the true sense of the word. Those in Yemen and Bahrain are true peaceful protesters , No guns ; but they are killed and the US /NATO/France and UK dont do shit. Where is the UN to pass a resolution on Yemen or Syria or Bahrain. All is a bunch of bullshit.

@nem700 amen
-
@mks989 True some of them were legit peaceful protesters who advocated true reform in their government, but what you fail to acknowledge is that the United States Government helped put Gaddafi in power through a series of assassinations enacted through the CIA, and we subsidized him by giving him over $10 BILLION during his time in power to buy weapons and military technology from us. Lupe was trying to emphasize the absurdites and hypocrisies in US foreign relations/policy

@nem700 wait i dont know if it sounded like i was supporting the war in Iraq, Afghanistan and any other countries bcuz i dont but my mom was in the military untill recently..she was lucky enough to not get deployed but from what i got from lupe was being in the military = being a murder, but like i said maybe i misunderstood what lupe was saying.
-
When someone is attacking you, you have a right to self defence. but if you are the aggressor, like america in afghanistan, libya, pakistan, yemen, somalia and iraq, that is murder.fyi, the war on terror is bullshit to the fullest.
-
absolutely magnificent Lupe! the people aint ready for truth.

Libya: Part 2 - The Uprisingby aimenissa1711,856 views
how is what he is saying wrong? what about the child that joins the military b/c he has money thrown in his face and never really gets what war is about? or how the gov't uses us a sheep for their own agendas and slaughter? yet the gov't won't do a damn thing to help those truly in need in our own country. his point was how we define right and wrong based upon how we have been conditioned in society.

what lupe says about libya is very ignorant and disappointing. u would think he would understand better the situation of the oppressed. and if he actually followed what was going on in libya, he would realize that qaddafi clear militarized the peaceful protests.. the people prefer and even tried to keep it peaceful..
