Ping!

[Yossarian]

This is the kind of stand-up-for-freedom action you can take when you aren’t in deep in debt to bastard thugs like George Bush’s America.

Woo-Hoo... KUDOS JAPAN !!

[Bobalu]

Must history always repeat itself? How can good people allow China to host the Olympic games? Calls to mind a similar situation in the distant past :-(

[CarrotAndStick]

It’s an absolute, sickening shame that the ChiCom PLA troops were allowed into London, Paris and San Fransisco, that too, on active duty.

Foreign, alien troops on duty in one’s own country. What ever happened to principles?!!

[snowsislander]

Matters of security on Japanese soil will be handled by the domestic police alone, and that principle will not be compromise just because it is the Olympics, said the Chairman of the National Public Safety Commission in Tokyo.

This is well done by the Japanese government.

I wish our own government had shown the same backbone in banning these thugs.

Japan joins Australia in refusing to allow the Chinese security services to run with the torch on the Canberra leg of the relay.

Bravo to both nations.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Mr Izumi, reflecting the revelation that the blue-tracksuited Chinese runners are in fact paramiltary-trained police, said that any security role they played – including pushing protesters off the road as they have done elsewhere – would be an infringement of Japan’s sovereignty.

Well, at least the Japanese get it.

[DieHard the Hunter]

Just DAM’N!

I was looking forward to the prospect of watching a classic Kung Fu fight between the ChiCom and the Japanese cops in the streets of Tokyo

and now they’ve been and spoiled everything, by telling the ChiCom that their thugs can’t show up. How disappointing!

What’s a true dyed-in-the-wool chop-sockey fan like me gotta do these days to get ANY entertainment, ay!

[AmericanInTokyo]

来るから来い！此の野郎！糞ったれ中華赤鬼達！

(Directed at Chinese Communist thugs of course.)

Showed 'em who's boss! ;-)

Maybe when they get to Africa cannibals will eat them.

“The “thug” Chinese security guards who have accompanied the Olympic torch on its route through London, Paris and San Fransisco, will not be allowed to make a repeat performance in Japan.”

Good.
To bad we let them on our streets
