On Hula: this is insanity: can it get more crazier than this, and more dumb?

This is what a Western reporter is posting on Twitter (and it was circulated by Saudi journalist, Jamal Khashuqji--I am told):  "Exclusive Houla: Lots of people report killers had Shia slogans written on their foreheads. ‪#C4news".   Did they also chant "Long Live Ali Ibn Talib" on the way out?  Can the propaganda be less dumb so that we don't laugh at it?
