Inside an Armed Bank Raid in Lebanon
Banks in Lebanon have put limits on how much money people can withdraw from their own savings so Lebanese depositors - facing one of the worst economic crises in history - are taking matters into their own hands and holding up banks to get their money back.

🤯
nah m8 this video was fake and gay
It's kind of absurd because it can hardly be called a robbery, it's just an incredibly aggressive withdrawal. I used to be a bank teller and I feel bad for both the teller and the customer, what a crazy situation.
There's a commercial that once existed for payday loans, the slogan was. "It's MY MONEY, and I want it NOW!" --- That should be the title of this video, rather than this bs about them being robbers when the robbers are the banks.
Is it gud for the economy tho.
then you should know if everyone withdrawls their money then their economy would plunge lower than if they set this limit...this is literally what the USA did in the great depression and it worked.... Since then we don't even have banks open sunday. It was closed sunday to limit withdraws and just never changed back. Without that limit we might not have bounced back, which means we could be just as bad as half the countries in the world. like England, its been 60+ years since ww2 ended and they still live like they are on rations.
@@ravinraven6913 the contention isn't the rule or a debate concerning it's efficacy. It's right in the first few moments of the story. Depositers were limited to $400 /mo while the ruling (read "rich") class were able to move millions with ease and impunity. The rich were able to move and protect their wealth from depreciation while the working class were forced to accept their devalued money and given no control over their money.
@@godofentity I am almost certain those commercials were for structured settlements
When he said “I’m willing to die so my son can continue his studies” Wow. What a father. I hope his son realizes how lucky he is to have a father of that caliber
must be awful for the son, knowing what his dad has done.
@@nonamexd9856 That is very subjective. Maybe the son is completely proud of his father for confronting the bank and winning, even if it means robbing the bank with a gun and Molotv cocktails. We will never know...
PRICELESS
@@ivan_0590 His son is trying to become a doctor, and therefore has promised to save lives while is father is putting people in danger witch might end up killing them....
@@nonamexd9856 What would do if your government made it so you can't access your finances?
I 100% agree with these people. This isn't a robbery, this is THEIR OWN MONEY. Give these people the money that is already theirs, they have every right to their own money. I understand why they've had to go to such lengths as choosing possible violence. They're being denied their own money which they've worked for, and they have every right to that money.
Lol right, so that totally justified threatening civilians that had nothing to do with it, got it
@@carlsmith4568When those civilians are following orders from their paymasters then yes.
no no you got that wrong. If you deposit money into your Bank account then that money is not yours anymore. Its now property of the Bank and they can do with "your" money whatever they like. This Situation is extreme and of course it causes a trust loss so you would give them no more money but not against the law look it up und start to think my friend :)
@@AK-fb2ydwhen people who think like you increase all accountability will be lost
@@AK-fb2ydIt is still the money of the People. What the bank is merely doing is borrowing it to expand their business. They're just holding the money of the People. They never owned the money.
I have so many feelings while watching this, my heart is open to the brave men and women demanding their money back and the bank tellers for putting their lives on the line like this.
They'd be better off just taking executives and government officials responsible hostage. Definitely nothing to do with the tellers, of which I was one in a past life.
@@curbyourshi1056 I feel you but i feel this is a much better way of getting their point across this being a lot more indirect. Them kidnapping or taking one individual hostage would not go so well. Plus the logistics and planning alone of such a thing would be way out of the realm of what these ordinary people are capable of doing. High stress, high tension, extremely desperate. I feel people would get hurt. At least with this, in a since their hijacking there money more than the bank it self seeing their only taking what's there's to begin with.
I’m not one for violence, but in this instance, I fully empathize with the people of Lebanon. It’s outrageous what the elite have done to that beautiful country!
Let the omelettes flow I say!
As a Lebanese-American, I pray every day for the people of Lebanon - particularly those in Beirut. I have relatives over there still, and I cannot imagine how bad it must be in those living conditions.
Just wait. You'll see too
This has been happening in china as well. Hundreds of thousands of people can't get their money out of the banks. Same situation. What's going on?
whats killing bank tellers going to do
This is the Vice News we know and want.
Bro I swear yall write this on every vice video
Vice News is ignoring the real issue: Hezbollah - a Lebanese terrorist group - which has taken the country hostage. If the people of Lebanon have the courage to eliminate them once and for all, Lebanon will be a prosperous and peace loving nation which will finally promote regional peace

I really think it is insulting and disgusting to even call these acts robberies. This is literally people collecting what is rightfully theirs, by any means necessary.
Just tell the bank managers, "Money is neither gained nor lost. It is simply, transferred, from one perception to another." =P
Agreed.. if they're stealing their own money then it isn't a bank raid, just taking what they've rightly paid tax and earned by force. I definitely don't agree with violence but in this instance the bank has wronged them.
Yeah they were the ones who were robbed it’s a joke
that's what every bank in the world does. They owned your money. If something go bad they'll use your money etc
@@Kyle_d cryptocurrency never ever gonna fixed this
Honestly, can you imagine going to work and saving money for the government to tell you you can’t take it out?! That’s unbelievable to me. More power to these people. They are not committing a crime, they simply want their money back. Free anyone who’s in prison over this.
yea I can imagine it happening even in the UK. Don’t trust any of them look what they did in covid . Look at the lucrative ppE contracts they made And tried to hide . And they partied it up
A perfect example of how and why Bitcoin can be the future!
@@JohnnyBlaze6954 I mean, he's not wrong though. The government does not hold any way to control cryptocurrencies. But the mistake has been made at this point. And the problem is already on going.

All while cheering for joe biden and spreading misinformation about the Republicans and covid. Want to know why the media, Hollywood and the dmc have been freaking out for the past 6 years? Because the plan was for Hillary to take office so they could get this whole build back better agenda started. No worries, Joe biden is in charge, we have January 6 hearings, the media has everyone brainwashed at this point and let's see what has happened since Joe biden took office. 1. Mandates for an experimental medical treatment. 2. Overspending, more money have been spent in the past 2 years then the past 30 years, it's what happens when an empire is falling, the people in power loot what's left. 3. The start of ww3. This is the big one. The only thing in the list that really matters, Joe bidens son is directly connected with criminals in ukraine, the previous president that is tied to biden is Obama who in is his term in office had a hand in planting the current president of ukraine. Hence the problems in 2014. Hillary during her debates said Claire she would have no fly zone in Syria which basically would cause ww3. The thing the media doesn't tell you is that the monsters own the 5 company's that run all your news media also make weapons and oil. They are the people that send you to war and steal your children's future. Obama bailed out the banks and the auto industry, while these people showed up in private jets. 🙄 But let's be honest, who paid for his campaign? Was it the average Joe or was it paid for by Wallstreet? Why do politicians leave office and have these massive payments for speaking fees? Are we all going to pretend that taking 250k for 1 hour talk isn't a bribe? Are we really going to ignore that? Trump isn't any good I promise you that but for far too many years you people have ignored what is so obviously happening it makes me sick. I refuse to believe that the general American people cannot use common sense and see things for what they are. I feel that they have an appetite for destruction. Btw I'm canadian and have obviously never voted in the USA nor will I ever be involved. This is just a guy from the outside of a window looking in. Just too bad all I see is blind sheep.

It really got me when that father in the bank said, "I'm ready to die so my son can continue his education". Powerful stuff.
I am Brazilian and I lived 5 years in Lebanon. Btw a quick fact: Brazil is th country with most Lebanese in the world. There are more Lebanese in Brazil than in Lebanon. The most loving and welcoming people of the Arab World! Sunday in Lebanon if you go to a Lebanese friend’s home, generally the family and extended family will be gathered and the matriarch will have put the most amazing food table you can think off. Even a modest family will have you eat as one of their own and invite you to keep eating. And when you have no space left they’ll still offer you food 😂 and it’s like it never ends. Great memories I have. Lebanon was destined to more than that. What’s happening there is not what I knew when I was there. It’s also the most Catholic Arab country in the world. Ukraine was invaded and billions upon billions, if not trillion already, flowed in to assist. Lebanon goes through that and the world is silent, the world looks and barely does anything. At least we have good reporting thanks to medias such as Vice. I commend the Lebanese reporter whom I don’t know and have never seen or heard about before but you can see that even though she has settled somewhere else, following her life and career elsewhere (the UK judging by her accent) she doesn’t turn her gaze away from her country and its suffering. Lebanese abroad have family still there and they’ll always support them no matter what. Family ties are as strong as can be.Thanks God countries are usually welcoming to Lebanese from what I’ve seen throughout my life. It’s not hard for them to migrate to or countries, developed countries. They usually enjoy good reputation and are welcomed more easily than other Arab citizens from other countries. Some do migrate cause they don’t see an out there and see that out going abroad. Some simply planned early on to go study and or live abroad anyway. But a Lebanese that turns his back on his country is yet to be found. Even though they have their life somewhere else they remain connected to their roots, they’re always proud to be from Lebanon, to be Lebanese. I always get hyped when I meet a Lebanese outside the country. I can always tell when a Lebanese is around. Their accent is unmistakable when they speak Arabic, French or English. Plus they’re usually very stylish. The Lebanese aren’t just about the most amazing food in the world to me, they’re made of a big heart which make them worthy of ten times what they put forward. Lebanese women… aah.. let’s not even get started there… or I’ll write a book.
i love how vice news does videos like this its way easier to understand what people are going through when you see it in action (edit: 2k likes???? tysm!)

There is good people in this world. The dad is willing to die to make sure his son gets through school, no matter the situations.

my favorite part of this is he isn't even robbing the bank, he is just withdrawing his money
This happened in Argentina in 2001. This kidnapping of people's savings was called El Corralito (The Little Fence). As far as I know, no one had the courage to seize a bank like this, then. This is amazing and gives me hope about the future.

This was good reporting. The Vice i know and love.
I think about Lebanon and its people often. I'm Haitian and my country is also facing its complex issues but what make me connect with them is the fact that they are all suffering due to corruption and the elite. The fact that people can't withdraw the amount of money, their money, is beyond outrageous. Haiti is not even at that level and that speaks volume! Wow. I am not one for violence but I understand them, I truly do. What other choices do they have at this point? NOTHING. May this dark period ends for them in the next few years. I hope to visit when times are better.

9:22 from here the next 30 seconds sent chills through my entire body
The worst part about this series is the fact that it's not just happening in Lebanon, recently in China there was a massive bank run that tanked the economy and millions could access bank accounts. I think there are going to be more countries unfortunately that will experience this.
better start buying gold, its coming to america too. Just look at how weak the USD has become, and with the Saudi/China deal brewing it will plummet the dollar even more...
@@VB-zx1yk That'd be tragic karma, for all the destruction, misery and death U.S gov. has caused throughout the years to serve the "interests" of the few... This would primarily affect ordinary people who unfortunately know nothing about their governments heinous criminal past. A darker fate was sealed for hundreds of millions of non-americans, many who've suffered for decades due to the criminal acts of their own leaders but also from the crimes of powerful foreign govs. such as U.S, UK, France, China, Russia etc. This world is cruel and depressing to say the least ..
Err, no, the "massive bank run that tanked the chinese economy" was some small financial Union in one small rural city/village and worth maybe few tens of millions max. China has a 18 trillion dollar economy. That's like 0.00001% of China's economy. Not even a blip. Those people got scammed by some shady financial union that was not backed and had nothing to do with the government or big recognised banks.
In Indian city of Hyderabad has started gold ATMs through which we can buy gold maybe that's a hint before recession

Outstanding work, Hind. Next level documenting skills. All the love and support to the people of Lebanon 🇱🇧
Vice giving me 2013 ‘vice’ vibes
Fr
Between the Afghan withdrawal, Ukraine war, Iran protests and Lebanese financial meltdown, VICE is putting incredible and inspiring interviews and footage into the zeitgeist.
U wierdos say this every 3 videos bruh
Very good video I loved the detail
"I am willing to die so my kid can continue his studies" wow, that really hit me
She asked "how are you feeling" in a active bank robbery , I love vice news
Catherine pulled that molotov cocktail out like shes in some michael bay movie i love it
Imagine ending up on the streets because you can't get your own money out of the bank or that your family suffers like this poor guy's son did because the banks holds back your own funds. Lebanon is a beautiful culture rich country, and the great people of this nation deserves their rights. i 100% agree with their actions, even if it can be seen by some of us as scary or harsh. All the more power to them and the brave souls who fights for their rights!
Vice: * Sees bank robbers * Also Vice: “ Can we join you guys? “ Robbers: “ Say less “
This is journalism at it's finest! Thank you Vice for going where the issues lie and becoming part of difficult but righteous battles for justice.
The way she casually pulls out the molotov was badass as hell, good luck to them, I hope they get their money
This reporter's a fearless lass, with a belter Northern accent. More of her please. This video was a bloody ride. Mental.
