I blurred it because he asks them not to film him.
Translation of the second clip by u/Appeal_Nearby:
[begin transcript]
Cameraman: “Why were you shooting at us?”
Child: “I swear I stop, I’m scared! I’m scared!”
Brown shirt man: “Fine, come down to me.”
Cameraman: “Ok, come down.”
Cameraman, to others: “Scoot. C’mon make room.”
[00:07]
Child, tearful: “I’m scared you’ll kill me!”
Everyone: “NO! By god we won’t!”
Cameraman: “No, we swear no one will harm you.”
Child: [Continued panicked blabbering]
Cameraman: “By the covenant of God, no one harms you.”
Cameraman, to others: “No body even approach him.”
Child: “They gave me a gun, [unintelligible] I told my dad I will go shoot at them bu- here’s my gun.”
Child hands over what seems to be a rifle with a shoulderstrap.
[00:18]
Cameraman: “Enough, it’s ok.”
[Child continues blabbering, unintelligible]
Cameraman: “We told you we guarantee your safety.”
Brown shirt: “Here, step down from here.”
Cameraman: “Praise be to God almighty for your safety.”
Cameraman: “Enough! No body touch him!”
Navy shirt man: “No body touch him!”
Camerman: “No body touch him!”
[00:27]
Cameraman: “Enough, don’t crowd him.”
Cameraman: “DON’T CROWED HIM!”
Cameraman: “get away. Enough.”
[00:34]
Cameraman, pointing at the child again: “where’s the pistol?”
Child: “I don’t have one. Don’t have one!”
Navy shirt: “No weapons?”
Cameraman: “ease him down.”
Navy shirt: “What do you have on you?”
Child, pointing at rifle: “Nothing that was the only thing.”
[00:44]
Cameraman, watching navy shirt lead him away “No no no!”
Cameraman “You might get shot on the way, we’ll all walk beside you. Together.”
Cameraman “we’ll secure him, we’ll secure him. Enough.”
Child: “Don’t film me. Don’t film me.”
Cameraman: “Ok, no one film him, stop.”

Fucking cowards, leaving behind children to do the dirty work.
It’s so heartwarming seeing this. In a place with major ethnic violence and high levels of unchecked violence there is still a place in people’s hearts for compassion.
I’m really happy that there’s going to be one less dead kid in this conflict. Really fucking depressed that there will almost certainly be others that aren’t so lucky moving forward.
Oh my god this is horrific
And then I’ve fought “Fifteen years old captain” by Louis Boussenard was an exaggeration.
Considering all the videos we seen, I doubt they kept their word
Dap him up for his bravery then take him back to the barracks and give him a broom, books, and plenty of food.
So this Druze militia now using kids .. wtf is wrong with them?!
newest recruit
