Apparently there’s a version of our Union thugs in the Middle East as shown in this video of a man being pummeled for refusing to shake a politician’s hand in Turkey:
The official for the MHP was mightily offended when the man didn’t shake his hand and turned his back, inciting a beating from his bodyguards. As near as we can translate, all he said to deserve the beating was, ” “I do not want to shake your hand, I don’t like what you MHP’s do.”
