    I heard about this. The punishment is way harsh for just posting a meme, but at the same time it's too funny.

    This should read:

    He is just slimy and menacing in a whole different way. Turkey would be better off if it were governed by Gollum. At least Gollum is a sympathetic character. If anything the comparison is insulting to Gollum, and not the other way around.

    Are you saying that the Turkish President, despite his strong-arming of the judiciary, gag-orders on the press, overreach into the powers of the police and rather parochial foreign policy, deserves legally-enforced immunity from public mockery?

    I have no love for him. Turkey's a great country, but his tyrannical behavior is holding it back.
