This video was released today showing the view Erdogan would have had of the incident
It looks like instructions were given from the car before the security went over to the protesters
What an asshole.

The bit I loved about that was she refused to get out of the car so they brought in a truck & told her they were going to load her car onto it & drive it out of the Netrherlands.
She exited the car
not sure how i missed this. What happened?

Copied from the cesspit that is reddit....
"Erdogan wanted the Turkish population to vote to give him more power (basically he's trying to become a dictator) He wants Turks in other countries (like the Netherlands) to vote as well, and to ensure they'd vote for him, he sent out government officials to convince the Dutch turks to vote for him.
The Dutch government did NOT appreciate him spreading his dictator message in Holland and explicitly forbade erdogans minister to come to Holland. erdogan threatened the dutch government and sent her anyway. The Dutch authorities told them she would be denied entry at the airport so they went to Germany and then went by car. Dutch intelligence got word of this, went to intercept them, but they sent multiple convoys as decoys, and she got through all the way to the Turkish embassy in Rotterdam (the other side of the country, at the coast)
She finally got stopped in the city itself, her body guards got out, trying to intimidate, etc. They had a lot of turks already out there and even though she was forbidden to do so she tried to talk to them anyway, the entire thing turned into a riot circus, and armed police was requested because of fears that these bodyguards would become violent. In the end she was forced back to germany under police escort.
Mission accomplished, Turkey knew very damn well what would happen, forced the issue anyway, and afterwards got to play the victim card, calling the Dutch Nazis." -
Reddit is a cesspit? I read some interesting stuff on their. Especially in the running and MTB communities.

Yeah , there is some decent stuff on there but the subreddits populated by angry virgins are best avoided.

Probably a bit harsh calling it a cesspit then a bit like calling the fern a cesspit over the US politics thread.

It's a bit of both really. The site tends to be populated by a certain demographic of young, liberal andeducated people. The upvoting format doesn't allow for decent especially in polarised discussions like politics. At least on this forum, we have to see the opinion's of people we disagree with.
-
@Stockcar86 Thanks for that. I knew about the incident, didn't know it escalated to look like that.
Anyway, fuck him. Ataturk must be spinning in his grave.

Reddit Rugby is excellent for clips & highlights (and full games), terrible for discussion
https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/
Reddit Politics -
https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/?hl=
Is again, excellent for all the breaking US news, the comments are 80% garbage 20% excellent, like most of the net.
People tend to hit the front page of Reddit & go "this is garbage", but if you login & find a few subreddits that are interesting its great.
I've used Reddit Excel a shiton at work -

@Tim said in Erdogan in the US:
Reddit politics is a horror story. As a reddit/cumtown poster put it, "politics are gay, internet politics are gayer". True shit, even Aaron would agree.
The links or the posts? Because the links are great, they break literally every major US politics story, you just have to click the link not read whats posted about it... thats... bad.
Right now its nothing but stories nailing Trump, but thats because right now the top stories in the US poilitics are about Trump.
