Do you think he will get heavy handed and go in and injure more people?

I think Erdogan had a serious blow to his leadership. The credibility he has built in the west so far, gone away so fast. Though he is a kind of person who would not like taking advice, he would not want to lose it all in one incident. He has to back off and for the sake of being in power he will back off.. The times are different in this century. With this speed of communication and usage of social media, people are much more closer and solidarity for the right cause is greater.

Exactly!

Even though these events make me sort of worried it is still delightful to see "new Turks" in these clips: political actors who are spontaneous, positive and bold. In a country with long democratic tradition it would be impossible to gather people this way for any purpose any more.

Last night the PM held a meeting with some of the protesters and I think, protesters will discuss the results of that meeting in gezi park today. I am not sure if they will stop occupying the park after the government´s consessions.. In the end, they brought Erdogan on its knees. One thing is not clear that what is going to happen: They says that the government will conform with the court ruling and if it fails, they may go to a referendum.. 

An extra info: Turkish Medical Association informed public about the health conditions of protestors as of 12th June 18.00. In total 4 people have lost their lives, there are 7478 injuries, 5 severely injured with risk of death, 91 head traumas, 55 severely injured and 10 people have lost their eyes.
