Not being covered much in the news today, but it should. The video is horrifying.

Unacceptable. That these thugs have DI is even worse. They should be made "persona non grata," tomorrow. At minimum.

What a mess.
The video was very long, but it gave us insight into the incident.
I noticed a number of motorcycle cops, so I was wondering if they were protecting a motorcade carrying the Turkish Ambassador and/or Erdoğan, when all hell broke loose.

As I've been saying, Turkey needs to be kicked out of NATO.

Wow .... no sh*t !
Do his bodyguards have a form of "diplomatic immunity" ?

This is the kind of fascism Trump & Co. would like to have imported into the United States -he already wants to neuter our free press the way Erdogan has done in Turkey.  I wouldn't count on him denouncing Erdogan or his bodyguards.

As much as I've tried to defend you on this forum and AAD, I really can't justify this at all.

This is why allowing children with this mentality here is a lose/lose deal.

The hilarious thing is that looking at his picture you can swiftly realise that he can't even beat up a paper bag

What is the point of defending "Western Civilization" if you emulate the East in doing so?

(I have my own thoughts on this paradox, but I'm not you, so...)

All right, bringing up the picture of him really crosses a line; two wrongs don't make a right.
