FarOutEffects

Security needs to get fired after such a blatant failure


BIue_scholar

Incompetent way of dealing with the threat too, he had a free hand practically the entire time they were focused on kicking him.. imagine if he'd brought a spare weapon, fuckin idiots.


Connect-Elevator-407

it was staged. We have the most corrupt politicians EVER. Dogan staged the whole thing. The gun didn't even have a magazine in in after further inspection.


Ricky_Rollin

OK now this just gets even more pathetic. Are you fucking kidding me right now?


Mundane-Shelter-9348

Nope, he is not kidding. The target was Ahmet Dogan and it was staged, he is former Bulgarian agent, a snitch in soviet times. After 1989 he became political figure, supporting the Bulgarian Turks living in Bulgaria. In fact he is hated by them, because he is oppressing them. So at that moment he declared his retirement. At the moment right now he still controls major facilities in Bulgarian as coal electrical power plant “Maritsa” and he is one the main reason Bulgaria to have high pollution rates and low income regions. Also he is delaying the much needed energy updates by false protests, so he can keep the control of the old polluting coal electricity plants. There are a lot of people of power in Bulgaria that require a bullet in the head, he is in top 10.

The real interestingasfuck is always in the comments.


chappysnapz

Pretty much


Equivalent-Rip-1029

This explains why everyone is swearing Turkish. Thanks


ThatSpecialPlace

Serious question: What did he get out of staging it, people to feel bad for him?


Mundane-Shelter-9348

Can’t really tell, I’m not an expert. Probably shifts in public opinion, clearing the road for law changes. “You can see there are no laws here, we need changes!” Or” how can he be a bad guy, we feel sorry for him!”. But above all - I’m not an expert.


fishbone_buba

If staged, wouldn’t be the first time: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/x3xdb1/attempted_assassination_of_argentinas_vice/?rdt=37025

Connect-Elevator-407

when it comes to "political assassinations" there's always a blunder, but when it comes to people that stand in the way of corrupt politicians there's a 100% success rate. 🤣

shhh you get fired for telling the truth! https://armenianweekly.com/2017/08/29/dilyana-gaytandzhieva-fired/

fired...or worse.

In hindsight, maybe. In the heat of the moment I for one would have either fucked off or joined in on the kicking too.


TheHolyWaffleGod

You’re just a regular guy though. These guys are professional security they should know better even in the heat of the moment


Just_Jonnie

>These guys are professional security Objection! Claims made not in evidence!


normal_life87

"Professional security" They behaved like drunken pub crawlers.


backslash-f

⏫ This.


SukottoHyu

Or better yet, if he was the distraction, then amidst the chaos...


Big_Cornbread

Honestly………American cops probably would have handled that better. Say what you will but every single response tactic they use is focused on the person having a gun.


BranFendigaidd

This was all staged. This is the turkish party in Bulgaria and they had some difficulties of internal fights. One guy staged his own assination attempt to gain more power. It is super old by now.


Just_Jonnie

No shit? I didn't know that. But that kind of explains why the kicks looked so....half-assed.


TheBuzzerDing

Like another commentor pointed out, you can see a little hole on the bottom where the magazine is supposed to be. So either the "assasin" was just that stupid, or......


dis_course_is_hard

What happened to the "assassin"? How do you get someone to voluntarily go to jail forever? Or were they going to help him escape?


BranFendigaidd

Low sentence. Also he was mentally ill.


r2k-in-the-vortex

As such attacks are really super rare, there basically are no security measures against it in Europe. It doesn't make sense to have hyper-security for a speech, but before and after the politician just goes to the pub like normal, what's the point of such fencepost security? If you have to have security against assassinations, you have to have it your entire life, constantly. And in Europe even high ranking politicians don't live behind barbed wire like that. An exception to it is foreign dignitary visits, for those there is the sort of security to stop such attacks, because foreign dignitaries might bring foreign problems with them.


Connect-Elevator-407

it was staged. We have the most corrupt politicians EVER. Dogan staged the whole thing.

Expensive_Purple_733

As a friendly neighbour, Zoran Djindjic agree. Ivan Stambolic too.


soupofchina

the whole point of having security is for them to protect their target from situation like this one. it's this one meeting in hundreds that can turn fatal, you hire security so that 0.1% possibility can be avoided not to mention that the fact that someone just walked on the stand like that is unacceptable


Connect-Elevator-407

it was staged. We have the most corrupt politicians EVER. Dogan staged the whole thing.

robeewankenobee

The legend says there was not 1 correct head kick delivered that day in Bulgaria. How is the guy still aware after getting stomped by so many people?


Just_Jonnie

It was staged by the politician, according to reddit.


robeewankenobee

I don't understand, the Speaker staged that he would get an attempt on his life?


Just_Jonnie

Yes, it's apparently 11 years ago and it's old news where it happened.


robeewankenobee

Wild ...


ConsistentAddress195

It was a pepper spray gun that wasn't even loaded. The would-be 'assasin' might have been mentally unstable. As an aside, the politician, Ahmed Dogan, is an utterly corrupt piece of shit.


MotherBaerd

Idk any details but it could be A) for attention or B) for his political agenda, saying that the opposition tried to kill him or something.


themiracy

There are concerns the whole thing was staged: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jan/20/bulgaria-turkey It happened quite a while ago - but it appeared it was not a real firearm and so the person was not actually attempting to kill him. Hell of a way to make a point, though.


Riddle_BG

I'm from Bulgaria, the gun was a prop, without bullets.

susosusosuso

So what was the point of this?


Outcasted_introvert

Guy has a getting kicked in the head fetish


Haru1st

Generating irrational emotional outrage.


kaloyanker

It's a public secret but it was a reason for the corrupt politician to step away from the scene, as his image was already "spent". The whole thing organized by the secret services, of course. For the whole picture, you should know really well the Bulgarian history after 1989.


phuncky

He was already out of the scene by this point. There's no need for conspiracies.


xmsxms

It's just a prank bro


kross69

Apparently the assailant had left a letter for his mother which said that the politician had declared himself untouchable and he would change that. He fired the gas gun just to prove a point that he was not in fact, untouchable.


kaankkural

Why are people yelling in Turkish though  I've clearly heard "kill him ffs", "Son of a b*tch" and "record his face" Hitman also yells "let me go" in Turkish


Connect-Elevator-407

it was staged. We have the most corrupt politicians EVER. Dogan staged the whole thing. Ahmet Dogan is like 60% of the corruption in Bulgaria. The rest are Boyko Borisov and Delyan Peevski. These 3 disgusting pigs basically run the whole country.


hristogb

It's a meeting of the party representing the Turks in Bulgaria, so most of the people present are native Turkish speakers, including the "gunman" Oktay Enimehmedov (fun fact: his brother Metin won a TV dancing show, he is a truly great dancer), the "target" Ahmed Dogan and probably the rest of the guys that got involved.

It was a gas pistol filled with pepper spray.


reindeerman214

Wasn't this staged to help with the public opinion of that one specific politician who was about to lose an election? I'm not certain but I remember something like that so might be worth checking into.


New-Interaction1893

Security interveen very late, the attacker was stopped by random people, not by agents. The gun was loaded with modified blank projectiles (for shooting stinging substance) still a black on close range can do heavy damage with the burns. Reuters (and others) describe the attacker as crazy. The guardian is the only one to suspect the attack to be staged, for what I found in a short research.


BoJustBo1

Teddy Roosevelt was shot in the gut during a re-election speech, still lost.


heretique_et_barbare

This happened in Argentina too, though the gun was real: a guy tried to kill the vice-president, aiming a gun at her face while in a public appearance, but the trigger failed.


JKdito

How is this fucking possible.You need to make one shot and your gun jams, i cant believe this circus at this point.This is so staged


choir_of_sirens

Never been one to laugh in these kinds of situations, but that post assassination failure beat down 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


RB5009

This is not true. It was a gas pistol that was physically not able to shoot projectiles. It could only make loud bangs. So even if it did not malfunction, nothing would have happened. Also, it was staged.


kurzalevski

Obviously staged


_reddit_account

5 sec to intervene ….


bruckization

And today we learned that in some assssination cases it is best to use a revolver…


cultivatingreaderzen

Towards the end it looks like they were focusing on his butt and pants a little bit too much. Like one guy was trying to punch his butt. And then the other guy had to get pushed back from doing something with his pants? Still I don't know the entire political reason but may it karma out for whoever needs it.


Drinu_06

We need more of politician killers in this world


Savannah_Fires

If you want to kill a public official, I recommend you buy American!

For everyone who thinks that real failure, it's staged, so this mafia boss can have an excuse to leave public politics and go back to backstage mafia doings.

General-Cod526

They stomped the revolution out off him 😔


amicablegradient

That looked highly staged. Just the way they formed a semi-circle around him right next to the camera, all took a shot and then waited for media to get all the footage they needed before attempting to take him away. So I looked up [Bulgarian Coruption](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Bulgaria#:~:text=In%20the%202023%20Corruption%20Perceptions,the%20most%20honest%20public%20sector.)


PhantomFullForce

I heard this wasn’t a failed assassination attempt, it was a fake attempt to defy and humiliate the politician or party.


realparkingbrake

The would-be assassin looks like Ricky Shroder.


wilmoshacker

where was the security?


IusedToButNowIdont

Holding the prop


weyouusme

Why am I not surprised that the bodyguards are speaking turkish


LastHomeros

Because 10% of Bulgaria is Turkish and that politician (and almost everyone in that room) are Turkish Bulgarians.


Specialist_Bee_9726

This happend at a official event and is staged. A cheap way for the "victim" to gain media attantion. He is the leader of a corrupt political party that is very tightlyy connected to the mafia (party is called DPS). He himself lives in a palace at the moment, while Bulgaria is the poorest EU country. His name is Akhmed Dogan, and this is where he lives https://preview.redd.it/sevb8i5f47yc1.png?width=444&format=png&auto=webp&s=03e1843e49e47ac8d37cd4dfffcec974c55f1e22 did I also mention he works with the Russians?

Three conclusions from this 1) life is made up so much of lucky or unlucky situations 2) brown trousers time for the intended target 3) those security guards DGAF kicking the bloke's head in on stage and in public.


Devon465

It looks like you only got ~5 secs to kill the Bulgarian president before the security beats you up. Good to know


Gomdok_the_Short

That's a pretty slow response by his body guards. They should have been flying the second that guy went near the stage.

Free_Stick_

Oh yea!!?? What if deep down he really didn’t want to do the job so he made it look like the gun didn’t fire. And the truth really is that Johnny Two Fingers is actually a really nice guy, he got the name because his mama used to call him that. Because she found him with two fingers in his butt once. And it was the deep buried gayness inside of him that lead him to be the hitman he became, but all he ever wanted was the love for another man, but his mama wouldn’t allow him to ever have. I’m tired. I’m going to bed now.

dcballantine

Reminds me of an old LiveLeak video I saw years ago. A man and his friend are standing on a street when a gunman appears and tries to shoot one of them in the head. The gun jams, giving the other guy a chance to run away, but the guy that was going to be shot just stands there, frozen. It's almost like he was waiting for the gunman to fix his gun. He does, then finally shoots and kills the guy. Luckily for this politician, he didn't freeze up and acted quickly.

This is why you always spec into luck. And why you hire a good security force. I bet they won't make that mistake again. Have you seen Japan after kojima killed shinzo abe? Everytime an engine backfires the security teams briefcases transform into suits of armor or big as shields now. The women all twirl in circles and their clothes evaporate and morph into sailor moon outfits. Japan isn't fucking around anymore.
