Ok time has come again for me to walk away from the thread guys. Mods are doing a good job of keeping things up to date anyway, and doesn't look like situation will be resolved soon. Just spoke to my parents and they're ok, they were close by to the place the helicopter opened fire but they're staying down. My nerves can't take more of this situation and some of the commentary here right now. Also the body count racking up is awful as well.

Last time he was seen it was through the phone
Not to mention how devastating this will be for the Turkish economy and struggling tourism sector.

Its the nature of false flags. Not saying it IS the case, but usually when they try to stage these things, they go into it knowing there will be deaths.

I mean, we don't even know if it's the coup that controls those jets doing low flying straifs
But then again, the police are pro-government and they are firing at the jets.
If the coup has some type of air capability, how the fuck did Erdoğan land, why would he be anywhere near coup forces?

At this point I don't believe anything. The ones who are lucky enough to be far away from it should just wait and see how it develops and stop jumping to conclusions and people in Turkey_ Stay safe and in your homes.

Fuck this is really horrible man 
Erdogan is a cunt to demand civilians go and stop the coup instead of sending his loyal troops to go do it.

And thus an autocratic islamist gets to go ahead to rule his country as a dictator with the military completely defanged to go against him.
This will not end well.

OmG cnn turk people are screaming in terror good god its all live
The same airport erdogan landed on?
Really surprising that Erdogan felt safe enough to land there. It's one thing to put out propaganda about being in total control, but you're not supposed to believe it yourself

Maybe he didn't and it's a trap?
This is what always happens though. Makes you wish people would be smart enough and stay at home.

I believe this is the first bomb.

Yeah this is the thing that's making this still pretty confusing to me.
Either shit is a lot worse than let on, or there is some massive confusion going on in the military regarding orders??

He's probably afraid some might turn.Fuck this is really horrible man
Besides, dead civvies make really good agitprop.
Some of those people were not killed by automatic rifles, they were killed by something closer to anti-tank rifles.

Worried as to what will happen in Turkey after (i presume) the coup fails. I imagine the coup will be used to excuse further crackdowns on Human rights, curtailing of democracy and roll back against democracy.
