YPJ Syrian sniper nearly head-shot, laughs it off.

A lot of comments on her blue scarf. Kurdish YPJ fighters frequently wear a floral scarf somewhere on their person as a political statement, to remind the others that they are in fact women who are fighting. It’s a giant FU to the ISIS fighters she’s shooting at. I attempted to “forensically“ stabilize the video. Approximate Kurmanji translation: (Describes shooter position) “For god’s sake, why didn’t it hit me?“ “Turn it off, turn it off“ (to the cameraman)
