Here we go again with another horrible lack of “American justice” being delivered to the victims of this horrendous crime! As it currently appears, two of the nineteen Turkish terrorists (members of Erdogan’s crew) who participated in the savage beatings of peaceful protesters, will be getting off with a paltry one-year prison sentence. You call that justice?
Truthfully speaking, I felt quite angry as well as sad at what I observed in the video above, especially the beating that was inflicted upon that helpless lady. This again comes to show what a horribly barbaric culture the Turks come from (in which Turkish guys will gang up on a helpless woman and beat her savagely, just like they did to so many Armenian women during the days of the former Ottoman Turkish Empire.
And what a horribly shameful job by the D.C. police in protecting this peaceful group of Armenian, Kurdish, and Yezidi protesters from the brutal attacks launched by those Turkish terrorists.
Of course the armenians will never show the first 17 seconds of the VOA video (which they’ve edited out), which clearly shows the “peaceful” protesters were anything but that, in that THEY attacked the real peaceful Turkish group that were merely singing songs (see the UNEDITED version of the video)!!!
