Actually, that's a fantastic photo.   :D

Love their little wok shields.  After a long day of crowd control, it doubles for stir fry!

Angry residents have dropped bags of shit (real shit) onto the rioters from their high rise flats. 

Wow. Calling you all barbaric wouldn't be far from the truth. :(

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Who says police morale is low?  I saw on TV that the police advanced with ferocity.  The shield wall just kept on advancing without pausing.  Anybody who refused to move are by-passed by the shield wall.  Rear area police in small groups of 4-6 will then press the individual rioters against the ground and arrest them one-by-one on charges of assault against police. 

I think their morale is sky-high after staying on the defensive for two weeks.  Most importantly, they are obeying orders  :bowler:

People who drop bags of shit on people are barbaric.

I hope we drop a Trident II on them in 2025.

That's China for you.  They're fine with shit on the roads, but protesters on the roads are a big NO-NO.

At least it wasn't delivered fresh from the oven, so to speak.

Be careful if any of you go to China.  Make sure you don't have yellow ribbons on you, your bags or your luggages.  Try to avoid yellow clothing, and especially yellow umbrellas.  People have been detained and questioned for hours for having a yellow ribbon (a symbol of the riots) on their bags.

Man I avoid saying the word "yellow" around Chinese people as it is.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I don't think being called yellow is considered offensive, even in China.  We call ourselves "yellow people" all the time.  It is quite neutral.

I think I'd be more concerned about how the hell I ended up in China.
