Justice vs. Politics

Isaac Newton had theorized centuries ago that there was always an equal and opposite reaction to every action.

So, some Turkish students keep reacting to the anti-democratic actions of the AKP government.

Hasim Kilic, the chief judge of the Constitutional Court, is pelleted by eggs during a conference in Anadolu University.

"My valuable young brothers have used their right of free expression, although they did it a bit vulgarly," Kilic, who was not hit, said after the attack.

Kilic is known as a pro-government figure, but his statement proves why the men of justice are relatively better than men of politics.

I can't even imagine what Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan would say after a similar incident.

(Should I also add that the students were neutralized a bit vulgarly?)
