In “A rare glimpse inside pro- and anti-government protests in Syria,” from Nic Robertson, gives an inside perspective of the people of Syria who are either fighting for control or freedom. It seems a great chasm has been made in Syria where you are either for the protection of the government, or against it. The people of Syria protest in the streets for freedom, or for their president, Bashar al-Assad, to stay in office. Citizens of Syria are even afraid of what can happen to them when they are around town doing their daily business. A few anonymous brave people have spoken up, and the words of native of Syria are, "I'm afraid when I'm talking to you right now. Why? Because I'm going to lift this scarf and go into my home, and I'm not 100% sure that I'm going to be safe.” It’s hard to imagine that the place you call home is dangerous. Everyone has a different view and story to tell, but when a crowd turns to violence, it’s hard to stop the fighting.
As soon as an angry crowd becomes a violent mob, its momentum builds until it’s beyond control. A few violent outbreaks have already happened in Syria, and there’s no telling where it can lead. A country divided is on an unsteady scale, and eventually it will tip towards one direction. The fate of Syria is uncertain, but with some damage already done, there’s a promise of more to come. When put under stress or pressure, many will react with rage and brute force, and there is no exception in Syria. When a situation becomes extremely heated, foul play is very often the direct result, and when started, it cannot be contained.
