at least someone got arrested
and if they were the Chechens that did it, “Game of Thrones” justice was served

What justice has been served on the killers of Benghazi staff? One guy arrested by Holder? Two? Out of the mob of rapists and killers dragging Stevens body on the street?

BTW No one has been arrested yet for shooting alleged political dissident Seth Rich and we have quite a list of prematurely dead opponents of a certain political family

I counted 7 gunshots in two or so seconds very professional hit and treacherous to the max. Very ominous.

Is it just me, or does it seem odd that there weren’t any cops there to apprehend the shooter?

That’s quite a lengthy rant.

It seems the shooter WAS the cop. If so, and this is what Turkey provided for security...

Is that the killer? Well at least he dressed nicely.

“Justice” would require the complete depopulation of Chechnya.

This is why Putin backs Trump.

He has. Apparently, he was part of an elite police unit before he broke out in ‘Sudden Jihad Syndrome’.

I would not be surprised if this was a CIA hit. Hillary and a bunch of NeverTrumpers as well as a few supposed Trump supporters have all been drum beating for war with Russia. Doing it via NATO proxy Turkey would seem to fit

Could be the perfect crime. A l-man hit on the Russian ambassador in a country that can cower under the shield of NATO to avoid Russian retaliation. A bunch of left wingers taunting Putin by crowing about it. A bunch of goat humpers ululating about it. Who knows what schemes that Russian ambassador may have had a hand in. Someone sent a message to Putin. A very delicate matter indeed. Now, about that 14 man "special forces" team - including an American - captured in Aleppo...

That's what I counted too. Professional hit. Only a few words have been translated and posted thus far but they tell the story: "Allahu Akbar (God is Great). We die in Aleppo, you die here!' The shooter has been named on social media as Mevlüt Mert Altıntaş, 22, a police officer from the Ankara police special forces department.
