Old news. Happened last weekend. What the article doesnt say is how much of a thug this guy is. Quite a few people who have crossed him in the past have been shot and murdered and he even shot his own wife but never spent a day in jail for it.
Life is life in the end of the day and would be sad if he didnt make it just like any other victim of violence but innocent he is not.
Also what infuriates me is the turkish news, they put this shooting of a thug first before the terrible news of Japan and the thousands dead or suffering there.

No, I have no love for this misogynistic wife beating thug either......

Your not wrong on this man, a very nasty bit of work. Starman you are right to note that this story pushed the terrible stories from Japan off the front pages and screens of the Turkish news, but I'm not sure if the British press would of been any different if a big story came out about some nonentity celeb in the UK .. celebrity before all is the sad enditment of the way the world is going unfortunately.

Had Paul McCartney passed away last Friday, how would the news order have been here in the UK?

(Not that Paul is a nasty piece of work of course, not saying that   )

Have you ever seen his pop videos? They always seem to of him involved with some beautiful young model. Dirty old git with an ego bigger than Baba Dag.
A few of my Turkish friends here in Brum were not surprised at all by the news and neither did they show much sympathy.
