S. Korea: Pro-American and Anti-American Crowds Squares off at Pyongtaek (many photos)
Then you take them aside, arrest them, and deal with them. Cut the head of the snake off, so to speak. Without their communist mob 'leaders' they tend to dissolve and lose their gumption very quickly.

Obviously they are peaceful protestors. The steel pipes wer just to help reinforce the fence.
That's my story and I'm stickin with it.
This sure brings back memories. I spent two years plus at Camp Humphries in 86-88, and took a summer of language at Yon Sei University in the summer of 87, when the country went bonkers over Chun Doo-hwan trying to cling to power.
I lived at the Seoul Garden Hotel and wore civies to class to avoid attention. Most of the 3 months I spent going to Yon Sei I walked thorugh the police lines and rioters to class. On bad days the tear gas was bad and classes were cancelled. At the time there was indeed a need for change, but to see a bunch of the same loons and their offspring wrecking the fence at my old home at Camp Humphreys makes me think its time to move our troops completely out of the peninsula and focus on other existing and emerging Asian allies.
The trouble is they know who the leaders are. However, they do not bother to arrest them, because the government is stacked with folks who did the same thing not long ago. They just arrest small potatoes, while ring-leaders go on to stir trouble in yet another riot or rally, somewhere.
They are overstaying their welcome. Sympathetic attitude for these losers are souring. Erstwhile Roh's supporters now want to see them locked up, while those in power would rather not. They may feel now that their time could be running out, even though they try hard to shake off such apprehension.
you said it...I was in Humphries '82-'83, with the 802nd Engineers...used to run to Pyontek and back on Saturdays...I really miss the Top Hat...
Who is the jerk in the white shirt with the microphone? An NK Stooge or covert agent no doubt.
Yes, he is, euphemistically called "a professional revolutionary."
The Top Hat, I remember. I spent most of my time at the 7 Club in An Jong-ri. Mr. Kim was the manager and he was a great guy. I spent two years at the Field Station, staying through the Olympics in '88. Interesting times indeed, but had a lot of phone. We got on great with the locals and also met a lot of friendly and hospitable Koreans in Seoul and around the country. I'd be interested in what others experiences are now. Seems like the mood has changed, maybe even hardened. Sad that they ignore the brutality and evil of the North.
Do you remember Mr. Lee's McDonalds in the alley going to all the clubs. Just a hole in the wall of a building, where he cooked up imitation American chow. He had the best egg burgers. I went 16 years without an egg burger, until a trip to Central China in 2002, where I got an egg burger at a real McDonalds. Wasn't as good as Mr. Lee's.
If I recall, the Top Hat was on the left (west) side of the Club Alley, almost directly across from the 7 Club. There was another club with a pool room just past the Top Hat, but I can't remember the name.

What is with Photo #9? Does play between the two teams STOP if there is an injury?
And what is with Photo #14? If I think this is what I'm seeing, there's the wheelchair dude, but in front of riot police? Are the polezi sympathetic? Or did they wheel the dude in front of the demarkation line?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I am not sure about the situation surrounding photo #9.
However, about photo #14, it appears that a small number of them were doing a rally probably the next day, parading this wounded guy, and police were there to watch over them just in case. Police would not break it up unless they provoke confrontation.
not sure they had Lee's McDonalds in '83, although a guy named Lee served up yakimandu (sp?) right on the strip...I remember the 7 Club- it had a dance runway, if I recall...I spent most of my time in Duffy's, on the other side of ricochet alley, or in the Folly Club, run by twin Koreans, Cherry Boy and Pinnaple...and who can forget the Maxium Club upstairs and downstairs- Korea had changed quite a bit when I returned 10 years later, stationed up on the Z, and it had changed even more after that, when I returned 5 years after that...
I haven't been back since I left in October '88. I'm sure duty near the Z was not nearly as enjoyable as Humphreys. Take care.
Is his name also known?
Damn Raider nation LOL!
Yeah, you can probably easily track him down on Internet.
