Turn on a TV and get out of your denial. MSNBC is currently showing troops firing into the crowds while jets fly overhead.
Don't see Anything on MSNBC about troops firing into crowds.
I just watched it. It was in Ankara. I have no idea why you missed it. Read the post just above yours where the poster says "There is link after link & photo after photo of gruesome photos".
Where is the link?
Sounds like two Islamists fighting it out. OK . I agree the known element is better than unknown, and both are horrid.
TV shows don't have links. But, here is one video:

Yeah, how has that been working out? That is the hypocrisy of the US. Talk about democracy but support any dictator that will play ball. Then, act shocked when the people in the area reject our so-called "values".
The putschists are shooting civilians in the street. There are posters here actually supporting that in the name of, I don't know what, Ataturk?
Because you are an idiot. And you're right, you don't know what.. Ataturk? Total Apologist you.
Since I'm an idiot, please explain to me why you support shooting civilians in the street? What is the cause that you think justifies that?
