I heard this awful news earlier. Heck I hope it’s not some group pledging allegiance to ISIS, that’s all anyone needs.

My wife of latino and “indigenous” heritage thinks they are all “F@tards”. Although she used different words, it’s a close translation.

Most likely Turkish nationalists. This party that was bombed represent the Kurdish minority..and is allied with Kurdish militants and considered socialists, anti-capitalists. Many reasons for some nationalist Turks to blow them up.

Of course that’s bad enough.

No doubt Obama’s bound to try and use this for his “agenda”, he does with everything else.

From reading the comments neither side. Socialist are not a good thing, nor are terrorist.

Now if they were freedom fighters that would be a different kettle of fish.
