Well, that escalated quickly.

How much shit do you know about the situation? how much shit do you know about how Erdogan's "mercenaries" are attacking the citizens, WHO WERE PROTESTING PEACEFULLY AND CIVILIZEDLY IN THE BEGINNING?

The responsible of this scene deserves death, and it's Erdogan

Calm the flippity fuck down. It's not like the guy is committing genocide. He's an asshole I'd be glad to see go, as in "go" out of office. Not "ugh, he's a fascist dick and a protestor is dead, so now I'm equating him to Hitler, and uh Mussolini, and uh Thatcher!"

For fuck's sake.

Thousands of people celebrated in the streets when Thatcher died.

Yes, and those people were assholes.

The same when Hitler and Mussolini died. And yes, the same will happen after Erdogan finally kicks the bucket!

Nice, let's compare a guy who tried to systematically murder all the Jews, in addition to actually killing millions to a butthole who cracked down on protests and some people got killed. Bravo.

Bravo

I've learnt that it was Besiktas football fans who seized the buldozer and chased after the cops, great job guys!

It seems like for the first time we won a clash against the police and made them run away like chickens. With no arms or knives, the people keep resisting!

At least soccer fans are putting violence to good use this time.

Does that mean they're turning into a firm again?

Or founding a construction company. One of those two.

Yea, we need more hooligans at the moment. They know how to talk the police's language.

I'm all for chasing down the police of a corrupt government in a bulldozer, but I hope the bull dozer crew is okay. I can't imagine that the rioters were especially happy to see them when they got thrown out by the soccer fans.

Everywhere is Taksim, Everywhere is resistence. It's the popular slogan of the protests.

Sorry for being ignorant, but what specifically had the turkish government done?

FASCISM!

Sorry for being ignorant, but what specifically had the turkish government done?

The government was planning to destroy a central park in the Taksim Square along with many trees which mobilized the enviromentalists. But currently it has developed a nationwide general protests aganist the government and years of its authoritarian rule.

Sorry for being ignorant, but what specifically had the turkish government done?

It's a government that is gradually (more quickly lately) becoming authoritarian and Islamist because it has removed the obstacle that has historically prevented that by placing party approved leaders in command of the military. More specifically, attempts to violently remove people peacefully protesting the destruction of a city park turned resentment into resistance.

The protests in Eskişehir tonight

Turkish protestors know how it's done. If Occupy had used flying kicks against police vehicles, then they would have gotten results.

Numerous tweets are saying that people are being shot and killed in Kızılay Mall in Ankara...I don't know what to believe.

Erdogan deserves death. Isn't there anybody who can assassinate him? DHKP/C or anything, it will put an end to all this mass.

Possibly. However, for posterity's sake it is better to arrest, try, and imprison deposed tyrants in order to create legal precedents for certain actions being crimes, i.e. leaders who authorize torture end up in prison instead of this guy just got shot. That way in the future when leader B commits human rights violations it is already established that said violations should legally send him to prison.

Yeah all these death threats Kemalist is spouting is making me pretty wary of the protesters.

Because there is clearly no diversity among the protesters.
