Huizhou, Guangdong: On the night of 17th, angered crowds destroyed police cars after an innocent man beaten death. The source said three policemen were killed in te riot.
The maa was a passenger of motorcycle taxi, he was stopped by police and asked to pay 200 Yuan. He refused to pay, then the police took him to a police station where he was beaten to death.
Ping!
I wonder how many will vanish in the coming days. There was trouble in this region just recently if I recall. It's SouthWest of Beijing and fairly isolated from anything impacting the Olympics, but rest assured their government will come down hard with the iron boot to ensure there are no further distractions during the events.
Seems like the Chinese people are really feeling their oats lately. They also recently rioted after the son of one of their policemen was suspected of killing a girl and dumping her body in a pond.
As much as I appreciate the state of the Chinese people and their courage, I hope they don’t bring down upon themselves chaos and bloodshed on a grand scale.
Stop educating me...
Watch for the Cop Worshipers to come along and say he should have paid his tribute to his masters.
After all do you know how hard it is to shake people down every day?
Unrest in communist China make my heart all warm and fuzzy.
Keep up the good work there folks.
That's right. After all we all know freedom isn't worth fighting for.

Wow! I think Huizhou is one of those bleak looking Pearl River towns you pass through while on the train or bus between Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Those pictures are really scary.
Wow...Guangdong is where my job migrated to in 2006. I hope it wasn’t hurt in the violence...it was a GOOD job!
I used to work with a Vietnamese refugee who witnessed the fall of Saigon in 1975 as a child, and lived under the communists until his late teens. He told me it was totally normal for policemen and soldiers anywhere in the country to stop passersby and demand a "sidewalk tax" or a "street tax". If the person didn't hand over some kind of tribute they were in for a rough time. People going to the market place to buy food would have to carry some food or extra money with them to pay the "taxes" both directions. It would be like us taking a bag of oranges to the grocery store in order to get in the door in the first place, then buying another bag of oranges at the store in order to get out the door and home again.
Yea, well I hope they throw off their chains and rout their oppressors, the communists.
By doing so they will be revered by thier ancestors. Failure to leave a legacy of freedom for future generations will lead to appropriate questioning and loathing of the character of today’s generation by future ones.
And here I was thinking how it was such a shame that the townspeople only killed three of those crooks...
This sort of thing warms my heart. I really, really hope things like this happen on a daily basis during the Olympics.
If a job can walk away from you maybe it wasn’t such a good one after all. Hope you found something else worthy of your talents and energy.
Auto worker? Lots o' vehicles built in Guangdong.
People of china!!!!
move to the “Head”
you need to cut off the “Head” of the Serpent.
Even "honest" Mafiaoso bosses understand that you have to make your extortion demands reasonable.
