That does not look like a Santa suit.
I know, but many early reports said gunman was dressed as Santa. Hmmm, maybe Saints dresses differently in Turkey. IDK?
It looked like he was removing an outer jacket or covering. Perhaps that was some kind of Santa looking outfit. That would give him cover to go into the club (looks like a party guy, having fun in a Santa suit) then remove it and hope to get away? Very sad.
You got that right. There would be no negative side effects to society as a result. The country must get back to doing what's right for the citizens and the country.
Wonder if Toy Yip Erdogan is regretting supporting ISIS yet?
Obama to blame Russia.
The Istanbul attack followed close on Erdogan accusing Obama of funding and supporting ISIS.
