Maybe they thought it was an Armenian

We should add, where was Marco Rubio then?

From Jacob Bojesson at The Daily Caller:

Turkey shot down a Russian warplane for violating its airspace Tuesday, but the Turkish air force does the exact same thing several times a day in Greece. 

Turkey was quick to defend its action by stating it issued 10 warnings over the course of five minutes before firing on the plane. 

“The data we have is very clear. There were two planes approaching our border, we warned them as they were getting too close,” a senior Turkish official told Reuters. “Our findings show clearly that Turkish air space was violated multiple times. And they violated it knowingly.” 

But the Turkish air force doesn’t seem to be too careful about entering Greek airspace, according to numbers from the University of Thessaly. A tally shows the Turks committed a total of 2,244 violations in 2014, up from 636 in 2013.

The Russians did not take the matter lightly and President Vladimir Putin called the action from Turkey “a stab in the back.” He further warned of serious consequences for the action that he believes was made by “the accomplices of terrorists.” 

President Barack Obama said Russia and Turkey need to investigate what happened before taking any further actions against one another. 

“I think it is very important for us to right now make sure that both the Russians and the Turks are talking to each other and find out exactly what happened, and take measures to discourage any kind of escalation,” Obama said at a joint press conference with French President Francois Hollande at The White House.

Golden Dawn Parliament Members Are Tough Dudes

I assume this crew is the complete Golden Dawn contingent of the Greek Parliament.

God grant there will never be more than ten of them. That's probably enough to keep Islam out of Southern Europe anyway.

Man these dudes are tough.

Suit and tie. Casual Friday look. Or sports v-neck. It's all good.

To them.

Look at the expressions and body language. As one of the deputies rips up that bill, the one on the left manages a short smile. Then back to that implacable scowl.

Okay, whatever they represent (and in sum, it's probably not good), the ripping up the bill thing is cool. It makes me want to become a politician if only to do that. Just once.

Bald or short hair only. Unless you're a girl. As long as you have the same scowl.

One of the two girls has biceps as big as a guy.

Give them 100 billion drachmas or whatever they want, as long as they just stop scowling.

Allright, 200 billion drachmas. Plus I surrender.

Tough dudes.

I hear that Golden Dawn members are racists. They don't like Africans and probably most other people. I can imagine them as waiters at a Greek restaurant, shouting "Opa!"

When they light you on fire.

Golden Dawn Parliament members are tough dudes.
