The good news is Muslims are killing Muslims.
The bad news is Erdogan is still alive.

That’s not cool. I have no problem with overthrowing that Islamist dirt bag Erdogan. But I don’t want innocent people getting shot.

Unless they’re Islamist of course in which case they are not innocent. They are part of the problem with Erdo.

” But I don’t want innocent people getting shot.”
ya these are not innocent people.
These are Islamic Ideological Crazies rampaging thru the streets on command from their mosques.
Military need to mow them down and take control.

Are they innocent if they’ve been ordered away? Maybe more like people ignoring martial law orders in our cities during riots...
Unlike traditional military coups, I believe in Turkey the military is protecting the constitution (not overthrowing it).

If they are unwilling to shoot protesters (Erdogan sympathizers) the coup will fail, and the soldiers will be shot.

What kind of fool really thinks that the AVERAGE Turk will charge an armed soldier, simply cuz of a principle that coups are bad..?
That’s ridiculous.
Turkey has been secular for a very long time, but there is a faction of fundamentalists —THOSE are the people fiercely objecting to the coup.
If they get themselves shot?
WELL, GOOD.
This is progress.
Maybe over 90% of Turks welcome this coup..? More, I’d say.

Those "innocent" people made a choice and stood with Erdogan. They outed themselves of their own free will. This is a coup, after all. It's not civil or friendly. Idiots will die unnecessarily.

True, all mankind is guilty before God.
But He didn’t say shoot them on account of it either.
