Seeing this footage in this specific place is too overwhelming

Slightly perplexed by the messages and comments that folks had no idea how bad the regime was in #Syria. I know much of this is in good faith, but (deep breath) : Syrians, human rights orgs, journalists have been covering this and telling you this - *with much documentation*
