The Assassination Attempt of Turkish Party Leader, Ahmed Dogan, Now Being Called Staged [VIDEO]

THANKFULLY, we can post about this because the assassination attempt ended well. and by well we mean, the ATTEMPT failed because of a gun malfunction. YouTube commenters, though, are beginning to claim the video is STAGED. See it and tell us what you think.

Turkish party leader, Ahmed Dogan, had one hell of a close call on Saturday if this video is real, as many of us supposed it was. It did seem a little too convenient, though, that the cameras were rolling right at that exact moment, but then again the man who's life was endangered was speaking on stage at a political gathering. It's easy to see both sides.

After you watch the video, begin reading the comments below on YouTube. Two different things were said that stuck out to me.

ONE: the original comment following from Emo Teofanov saying:

The so-called “assassination attempt” was a very poorly staged PR action! The supporting actor (in the role of the brain-dead assassin) leisurely walks—undisturbed—on the stage, pulls out an UNLOADED, gas pistol EKOL Volga 9mm, and try to shoot in front of 30 cameras...
Please, think when you watch the news on TV.
If you don’t believe that even the stupidest politician will resort to such desperate farce, I will tell you, that Dogan is one of the most corrupted and sleazy politicians ever born.

It's a dangerous thing, an idea, because it is hard to stop once it's been planted inside your mind. The idea of this being staged wouldn't have even been considered by most unless first pointed out by someone else....Now whether she points this out to be beneficial or manipulative, is another entirely different speculation.

At that point I watched it again and paid closer attention. Then, reading the comments further, there are mentions of an act and a 'Code of Conduct' being talked about. The user, MrAdapazari said:

They were all forced to hit him because one of turkish guards yelled out the code of conduct from T.C Delikanlilar act:1537/3369 "vurmayanin Amina koyim" which basically means if you don't hit him you get your namus certificate taken off you.That's why even the old man got off his wheelchair and hit him with a Leviye ( wheel brace) .

So the second thing that stuck out was

TWO: The seemingly true logic behind that comment and the fact that it didn't look like the men were PRETENDING to beat up the assassin.

Going along with the conspiracy theory, I feel like we do live in a world now where politicians would hire someone to make an attempt on their lives to gain sympathy votes, but considering the world we live in, we also do have too many people all too eager to take a life based on beliefs. It is a sad, sad ordeal either way.

See the video and let me know what you think. As of right now, I'm torn.
