A Turkish tank has been filmed ploughing into a taxi and crushing it while it still had people inside during protests against an attempted military coup last night.

It is unclear whether the people in the car were injured during the incident, which happened in Istanbul.


Over 190 people are currently said to have been killed.

President Erdogan suggested that the plotters had tried to assassinate him, referring to a bombing in the Turkish Mediterranean resort town of Marmaris after he left on Friday. "It would appear that they thought I was there," he said.

Civilians joined in thwarting the coup, directly confronting the military plotters on the streets.

WE ARE SO GOOD AT KILLING ONE ANOTHER.


HUMANBEINGS!!!!

"One wonders whether BOUNDLESS, ALL-EMBRACING COMPASSION for our fellow creatures might not enable us tackle the apparently insoluble PROBLEMS of a time of drastic, rapid change" Eric Hoffer

WHERE HAVE WE BURIED OUR COMPASSION, AND WHY?

"Everywhere we look at present we see something new trying to be born. A pregnant, swollen world is writhing in labour, and everywhere untrained quacks are officiating as obstetricians. These quacks say that the only way the new can be born is by a Caesarean operation. THEY LUST TO RIP THE BELLY OF THE WORLD OPEN" Eric Hoffer.

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LEARN COMPASSION LET ALONE PRACTICE IT.

Is man truely INTELLIGENT?
