LA Gangbangers Fight in Syria

During the final days of any dictatorship, the ruling regime is often happy to use any means necessary to keep a stranglehold on power. Bashar al-Assad's brutal Syrian regime is no exception as the tyrant uses everything from barrel bombs to starvation to prevent the inevitable. However, we couldn't help but feel that he really was clutching at straws when he found these guys.

The latest video out of Syria shows two supposed former L.A. gangbangers travelling to Syria to take up arms for a pro-regime militia. The pair, who appear to be of Hispanic and Armenian origin, are filmed sending shout-outs to their "homies" back home, showing off their super swanky gang tattoos and firing shots at seemingly invisible enemy fighters. These guys really have to be seen to be believed.
