Apparently it was all peaceful

Parade was peaceful, I'm expecting some ridiculous "They walked over private property, that's against our laws" explanation for this.

Gaga just RT some tweets and talked about it. #GagaForPresident

Shouldn't this constitute as crimes against humanity?  It all starts here when violence like this is normalized..  If there's no threat then what could possible justify this?  Are there anti-gay propaganda laws in Istanbul?

IT'S 21st CENTURY AND STUFF LIKE THIS KEEPS HAPPENING UGH

[ALX 170]

apparently the people were chanting that the government leader was a fascist and as the parade was getting closer to a highly populated area and a crowd began to grow, the police needed to disperse it
