Violence took to the streets at a funeral in Beirut. The street protest of the late Prime Minister Najib Mikati was broken up by teargas, fired weapons, and radio announcements. The protesters reject the government of the now dead Mikati. They say hey was a 'puppet' for Bashar al-Assad. The funeral was the excuse the protesters were looking for to voice there opinions of the Syrian government.
