Last Fall, I was lost in my thoughts, exploring some quiet back lanes in Istanbul I've seen described as "gritty." Just as I was about to walk into a busier area, someone tugged on my sleeve, stopping me in my tracks.
A bizarre scene unfolded in front of me. First some men in suits walked out from a side street towards some men seated at a cafe table. A punch-up ensued, then out came the guns.
