Ansardo67 - Another Story.

My Turkish friends are sending me sings from their protest walks, asking me to share them since the global news don't do them justice. They translated some of them:

1. "No men ever got me as wet as the TOMA (Riot Control Vehicle"

2. "If you water us a bit more, we will bloom. 💋💋"

3. "Mum, I lied, I'm at the protests"

4. "We'll pass both the midterms and the barricades"

5. "How could there be an "authorised protest", girlie!"

6. "The government that interferes with my walk, what's your zodiac sign!?"

7. "Sweetie, how can you spend your life with just one man?"

Of course, this is just the cheerful side of the story. On the other hand, the Turkish police are using uncontrolled force on the people during the protests while claiming they were attacked. I also saw a video in which the GD of Police in Istanbul was angrily questioning some of the police officers during the riots. He was asking who gave the order to fire at the protestors, and the officers replied, "we moved without an order." I'll tag the source when I find it again.

Cold and decisive...

Even a stray has his guardian angels... Congratulations to the staff...

Mi mancano da morire quei paesaggi e quegli anni, quando tutto annegava nel bianco accecante dei pomeriggi assolati.
