According to Fox News, the start of a peace rally in Ankara, Turkey was interrupted by two bombs causing 86 deaths and another 186 injured. The rally was to protest recent violence between Kurdish guerrillas and Turkish security forces;
Television footage from Turkey’s Dogan news agency showed a line of protesters fanned out on the street near the train station, chanting and performing a traditional dance with their hands locked, when a large explosion hit behind them.
The video also showed several people lying injured on the streets or being taken into ambulances.
The reports aren’t clear on whether it was a suicide bombing or not. According to the Associated Press, about 70 of those casualties died immediately while the remainder died at the hospital

Okay. And, hey, I hope this doesn’t seem callous, but the weather is beautiful and it’s football Saturday!
And in other news…SO!
Beautiful here in Springfield, Virginia as well. I’m going out for a pleasure cruise to the parks in Alexandria, then for some window shopping on King Street.
A nice breezy, balmy 52 degrees in Rochelle, IL, clear skies, great for train watching!
Someone oughta tell those peaceniks that the bombing they just experienced is why we go to war – to find the scum that bomb civilians and put them down like dogs.
My mother used to caution me “if you go looking for trouble you will find it, stay away”. Works every time in that part of the world.
Once again, we see that hippy Ghandiism doesn’t works so well against psycho death cultists who regard mass-murder-suicide as their dream shot.
They wanted a “pieces” rally instead. Fuggin’ vermin they are.
What do they know other than “*BLEHLEHLEHLEHLEH*! Be just like us or we’ll kill you all!”
I wish we had assets in place to sprinkle a few Russian cruise missile components in the area. I’m sure Vladimir would do the same for us.
On the other hand, I wonder what Turkey will do to prevent this in the future. Will they make everyone register their bombs, eliminate the bomb show loophole, outlaw private sales of bombs? We, I mean they, have to do something to keep the conversation going. Just brainstorming!
^this.
Bomb control, for the kids

Gosh, you guys are all meaners. Every. Last One. Of. You. Meaners all.
No way I don’t believe this wasn’t committed by someone in the Turkish government. That is the sort of shit they do over there if you resist their rule.
If only they would make a law restricting bombs.
Why do Muslims hug their kids so much?……
Because they blow up so fast!
True, they’re all over the place SO quickly!!
It was reported as two suicide bombers.
Everyone is crazy, except for You and Me.
I am beginning to have doubts about You.

So much for the Peace Train…
They have about ten “Peace Rallies” a year in Milwaukee for the children killed in drive by’s, killed sitting on their grandpa’s laps, you know, typical liberal fare in the hood.
Last year a lady was shot while she was at a peace rally for her son who had been killed in a gangland drive by.
Libs are so incredibly stupid it is a wonder they are smart enough to remember to breathe…
