Hezbollah stole computer hard drives and organizational papers from many Future Movement offices. An SSNP source claims, "Hezbollah now has the names, addresses, and phone numbers of many members of the Future Movement and other supporters. This information will be used against Future supporters soon." I also heard corroborating information from a European diplomat.
A Future Movement friend recently had an SSNP friend recount his evening events for him: "You left Sakiet Jinzeer from Pain d'Or at 4pm with a friend. You went to Jal ad Dib, and then to Sassine. You went to a pub in Hamra and met with another person. You arrived at home at 11pm. They know who you are."
The SSNP source argues, "If they don't come to an agreement soon, this country will become Rwanda. The Amal and Future people are all poor. They don't care about what they are doing. They want violence just to be violent. They will kill for $100 or less. You saw what happened in Halba. You see the 15 year olds running through the streets with assault rifles. There are no laws in Lebanon, now. This is anarchy, and the one who has the gun does what he wants."
Hezbollah got what it wanted from the government. After the Lebanese Cabinet chose to rescind its decisions on removing the head of airport security and removing Hezbollah's telephone network, Hezbollah controlled areas lit up with machine gun fire.
According to other sources, Hezbollah will push for more concessions by the government. However, the government has red lines it will not cross. If Hezbollah then decides to push for more, or worse, if Hezbollah decides to invade the Grand Serail and literally take the Lebanese Cabinet ministers hostage, then the Army will immediately split, and Lebanon will face war.
There is very little optimism in the streets of Beirut.

Why don't we make their jobs easier. Have them write down the names of everyone from Every Sunni, Christian, Druze towns/villages and few among our Shia communities.
It shouldn't be that difficult to know who is against them in creating a State within a State or maintaining a militia.
Forget red lines. All lines have been crossed already. The next phase is to make sure all others (M14 coalition) are also armed with the most Divine/Sacred weaponry known to man kind.
If they don't understand dialogue, then we need to communicate in the same language they seem to understand.
They and only they can be blamed for bring us to this point.
Jumblatt is right. Over our dead bodies they can have Iranian/Syrian hegemony in the land of the Ceders.
