Every developed nation ignores their rules and unleashes their vile when they see necessary. Strong leadership is to determine when to ignore laws and do what you have to do, in a manner that is justifiable in the eyes of masses. How do you think western nations became what they were today? Declarations for human rights and foundations of liberal philosophy were around and / or were in the stages of creation during western colonialism, I can tell you their subjects were not beneficiaries of any of the above mentioned.

We, Turks, need to stop taking pride in shit virtues. Sending your soldiers to death and letting millions of potential criminals and rapists in your country as 'refugees' to help nation building while treating a terrorist that is responsible for the murdering of a 15 year old with a few years locked up - a slap on the wrist basically - and subject to fair trial without trying to squeeze out any information by torture is senseless mercy, and is a shit virtue. Especially given that the country is in a state of emergency and we are invasive of another country's territory with an army that survived a coup attempt not so long ago.

Giving fair trial and treatment to domestic terrorists does not gain any international credit to our legal systems or our foreign policy positions, since they are already at rock bottom.

This guy will most likely get shished regardless, but the president that gets elected in 2019, regardless of who it is, should establish death penalty for separatist terrorists.
