Culture of Violence
By Ibrahim KalinThe details of Hrant Dink’s assassination are frightening. Not because they reveal an underground gang or a secret terrorist organization but because they are so ordinary. Ogun Samast, the assassin, is a 17-year-old youth from Trabzon. He is described by his family and friends as somewhat angry and temperamental. He played soccer in an amateur club.

And this is what is scary about the whole crime.
