Here is a (Korean Language) page with streaming video of the violent scene today as Mr. Lee fervently yelled out anti-Kim Jong-il slogans, was beat up by about 10 young plain-clothed policemen on orders from the S. Korean government, was able to burn a North Korean flag in downtown Seoul, had his protest sign ripped, and finally accepts his fate to be arrested and placed in a patrol car by S. Korean policeman.

The video runs about 4 minutes and is largely self explanatory. Scroll down to see the Windows Media video box midpage. (Be Patient)

"FReeper" in the sense the guy "FReeped" some mightily strong political forces in S. Korea, to get his message across the Kim Jong il and his regimes sucks, and President Roh Mu Hyong (S. Korea) is even more a jerk for appeasing the North. I guess this makes the protester a defacto adopted "FReeper".

Good to see the burning; sorry to see the fracas. Why even a sizeable minority of the S.Koreans hold any respect (or whatever it is) for the truly evil N.Korea is unfathomable to me.

You wouldn't happen to be able to translate that green sign (in the video) for us, would you?

I've been doing some genealogy research lately on my dad's side of the family. Am learning that a few of my relatives (great uncle, etc.) were kidnapped by the North at the close of the "conflict" because of their techical training.
