#1 They were pretty damn brutal.

From the video I saw, they were members of some leftist group (they were all carrying red flags), and half of the demonstrators were men, but the Turkish cops were still a bit over enthusiastic in breaking things up.

#2 It doesn't suprise me one bit. Erdogan is like Chavez and beholden to the Islamics.

#4 It'd be great if someone had a link to that old rantburg thread on the percentage of Turkish women who expect men to beat them. That'd be a nice little eye-opener for the EU.

#5 So, how many years might this add to the "negotiations" over Turkey's EU membership desires? Five? Ten? More?
