"Fun" fact: Pepper spray prices increased after these cases.

If you say something against the government you go to jail, but a man with a 30-crime record doesn't.

Told you guys our government is dumb af

I feel so bad for the mother. I can't imagine going to a place, thinking you're going to receive your child's phone, getting their dismembered head thrown at you. Hearing about in of itself sounds mortifying, I didn't even experience it. I can't imagine what the mother is going through.

The worst part is pepper spray and self defense tools are 450% to 500% more expensive.

Put bad people in prison ❌
Ban every fucking app ✔

[brnardTF]

imagine a friend of your child telling you your kid lost its phone, and when arriving at said location, getting your childs dismembered head thrown onto you. That would be traumatizing for life.

As a person living in turkey, i would like to thank you for spreading this incident to world. The incident left a huge wound on us and we are still recovering. The guy literally threw Ikbal’s dismembered head in front of her mother… it sounds unbelievable…

Watching this as a turk im both simultaneously extremely embarrassed to watch this being about my own country while also thankful for it shedding the much needed light on turkeys internal issues.

[bilge]

it's like getting your finger infected and the doctor decides to amputate your entire foot

yes, foot.

Bunu duyduğuma üzüldüm. Türk halkının ne kadar dayanıklı olduğunun farkındayım. Geçmis olsun Türk kardeşlerim. Kazakistan'dan selamlar.

Remember kids, the next time somebody tells you "the government wouldn't do that". Oh yes, they will

It’s the first time I’m watching one of your videos (I was just summoned as a Turk here) and I really wanted to thank you for making a video about these incidents. As a girl myself I am not feeling safe anymore, I don’t even know if the police or my family could help me if something like that happens to me. The government doesn’t cares about us. I am a person who saw the earthquake and I unfortunately can say that they even managed to get some politics into that accident (like sending help to the cities who mostly voted for them faster etc.). They practically left us to die. I’m furious okay? Because even now there are people in my city that are struggling to rebuilding their life after the earthquake. My friends died because they were f*cking late that night in the freezing cold. And now the women are dying everyday because of some sick people. I can’t take it anymore but I don’t know what to do as a teenager myself.

Turkiye: arresting killers: "no"
trying to stop women abuse: "no"
banning apps/games: "yes"
(im Turk+Ruski so thats why)

[FluffyAbomination]

When it starts with the words "3 dead" you know this video will be wild

[Caelestialquaesar]

As a Turkish person living in Turkiye, i have to say you covered everything, and i mean EVERYTHING about this perfectly, i would never expect a forgein content creator to make a video about this and be THIS accurate. I couldnt explain to anyone the big picture of why turkey banned discord because its a messy web of events and things connecting to eachother, but you spent your time researching and putting them all together for the video it seems! Im very thankful to you for giving time and work to this, because i really needed a video like this to tell my friends why exactly it was banned while looking for tweets online to show them or remember everything myself. Our government is... quite incompetent to deal with stuff like this. The ban on instagram which happened like a month or two ago, was because our president of communications posted an instagram story condolancing the then killed HAMAS leader, and it was removed. And turkey banned instagram due to misinformation. They banned roblox for child safety, but in reality it is because a famous youtuber played roblox and it featured games like "escape from the tax man" while a nextbot of our president was chasing the players (there are a lot of taxes here). And as you said towards the end, them banning discord due to not being able to controll it as they please and spy on us makes perfect sense.

I may have yapped a bit, and i apologize. But im just glad someone finally made a video about this and it couldnt have done better and more in-depth. Thank you NTTS!
Greetings from Turkiye!

As a girl living in Turkey, I don't even want to go out and we make pepper spray at home with our own means because the price hike has increased...
