>The two giant robots who have directed traffic in Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, since 2013 have company. Agence France-Presse reports three new robots — developed by Women's Technology, an association of female engineers — were positioned this week across the city of 9 million people to direct traffic.
>The giant robots are solar-powered, have chests that rotate and are equipped with cameras that send real-time information back to the police station, AFP reports. It's unclear why this is any different than having traffic cameras — besides the fact they look much cooler (and more intimidating) — but the robots appear to be having the desired effect.
>"There are certain drivers who don't respect the traffic police. But with the robot it will be different," taxi driver Poro Zidane told AFP. "We should respect the robot."

It probably wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't used public funding, which is what I'm assuming he did. Paying out of your own pocket or setting up a donation drive to build a robot is one thing, but using taxpayer dollars is another thing entirely.

He is also a top level twitter troll.
"Who the hell broke that fountain in front of the municipality"
In this one he asks an opposing parliment member "is he gay" just for curiousity. He claims people of Tunceli wonders it.
>In early July 2014 Gökçek supported the antisemitic tweet made by Turkish singer Yıldız Tilbe: "God bless Hitler, it was even too few what he did to the Jews, he was right" and "The Jews will be destroyed by Muslims, in the name of Allah, not much time left for it be done". Gökçek backed the singer’s Gaza tweets, retweeting most of her comments except the one on Hitler, calling them “full of intelligence.” He also replied to the tweet, saying "I applaud you".
>In March 2015, Gökçek filed a formal complaint on defamation charges against journalist Hayko Bağdat because he called him an Armenian. The complainant's petition to the court stated: "The statements [by Bağdat] are false and include insult and libel.'' Gökçek also demanded 10,000 liras in compensation under a civil lawsuit against Bağdat for psychological damages, and the lawsuit is now pending
>gokcek is such an unnecessary guy, i want to block him from every aspect of my life.
>here is your morning compliment, you look like an angry birt in your pp. the red one.
AKP (Gökçek's party) bans twitter and Gökçek tries his new proxy.
1- That is it! Olimpic games in İstanbul. Thank you Prime minister, thank you people who worked for that you are great Turkey! ( he is not aware it is only first tour)
2- (someone tells him there is a second tour) I hope second tour will also be ours
3- (Japan wins) Gezi protester traitors protested in Argentina so they didn't elect us. Be proud of your evil deeds you traitors.
>>40191535
This is some high-level memeing for someone his age.
1-Even you took the axe and shovel and started working by yourself city would have a bigger metro line than it has now for your 20 years of reign.

>>40181127
>After the public backlash, Gökçek simply replied ‘Respect the robot’, which surprisingly only made things worse.
His full respond: "The granite head of our robot's works better than the architecs guild who sued him. They tell me i should have consulted them. Sigh. They tell they are going to investigate this for Ankara. Who are you to investigate? If you want to speak in the name of Ankara, you get in elections and see what is coming for you. Respect the robot."
He won the last election by fraud btw.
This is bizarre
I guess he's some kind of aspiring artist?
The robot looks like it has a roman helmet on and modern military helmets on its shoulders, so maybe the robot represents crushing militarism? And the artist-mayor drives that point home by abusing his own power to make it?
Magnificent, a true genius.
>>40192494
I mean, I'm really sorry that you have to deal with this in your country...
but I'm so very grateful in a way, because this is the funniest shit I have read in ages. Better than the Azeri and Armenian presidents talking shit on twitter about going to war.
