“Patrol Police” Enjoyed the Incident

Nona Salaghaia

The TV news program “Patrol Police” is very interested in the wounding of Gaga Gachechiladze (son of Levan Gachechiladze, leader of the united opposition) and prepared a thorough program about this incident. The audience could not understand the aim of the author: was he worried about the victim who was taken to the hospital or about the perpetrator who was not charged at all.

The TV program was informative and provided the audience with complete information about the victim. People learned many details from the biography of Gaga Gachechiladze – the date of his birthday and wedding.

 “Patrol Police” repeated the same release on July 17, Saturday. Maybe they wanted to influence the society to remember who Levan Gachechiladze is: struggler for the “Honorable Society”.

The TV program demonstrates that Gaga Gachechiladze could not eat creative pelmeni in the restaurant “Matrioshka” because he had an argument with his friends at the table. The incident ended with his being wounded.

The author of the TV program informed the people that eight people had ordered “elite” dishes too--.Ukrainian borsche and fruit assortment.

The manager of the restaurant Dato Robakidze read the list of the dishes ordered. The comment of the author is the following. “The menu ordered by Gachechiladze is a bit impudent,” although the sentence is difficult to understand (impudent menu) the author thought the word “impudent” could impress the audience.

The author said that Matrioshka is the most expensive restaurant; however the menu does not have any dish more expensive than other restaurants.

The TV Program “Patrol Police” did not miss an opportunity to show the thoughts of the restaurant administration. “Now the manager has to worry because Gaga Gachechiladze has not paid the bill for the third day already,” said the author.

The representative of the TV program tried to figure out whether Gaga Gachechiladze visits the restaurants often. Levan Gachechiladze denies that his son visits restaurants often and says that Gaga Gachechiladze studies and lives abroad. So, his son could not visit Georgian restaurants often.

The author has a different opinion about it and makes unclear comments to counter the statement of Levan Gachechiladze. “However, Gaga Gachechiladze is often seen in the music video of his uncle Giorgi Gachechiladze.” The author wanted to show the audience that being recorded in the video is as dishonest behavior as visiting restaurants.

The video camera of the “Patrol Police” recorded the whisper of Levan Gachechiladze where he said: “How can we get rid of these cameras?” This phrase was repeated several times in the TV program to have an impact on the society.

Before Gaga Gachechiladze tried to plan how to get rid of the cameras, his father-in-law had been recorded. The father-in-law visited his son-in-law in hospital and it was one more “interesting” fact focused on by the TV Program.

The author of the TV program said “Longi Chelidze, former member of the military unit “Mkhedrioni”, father-in-law of Gaga Gachechiladze, is worried about the health of his son-in-law.” The audience gradually acquires the impression that they are watching some gossip prepared by paparazzi of the gutter press and not the item prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Finally, the author regrets that “If there is no other victim in this incident, the son of Levan Gachechiladze will not be imprisoned.”
