    yeah and all the government has to say is that they died honorably or something along those lines.

    10 years later, trillions of dollars spend and more lives lost.

    Yes, but Navy SEALs live for that shit. They don't enjoy peacetime.

    Beyond the tragic loss of life, you could also look at this tragedy as a loss of a lot of training time and expenditure.

    The Ministry of...Home Office? (whatever), should authorize the use of water cannons where the tanks are filled with a strong, long-lasting dye. Anything that lasts at least a week. That would deter more looting douchebags from coming out, and allow the police to track down participators in an orderly fashion.

    Either that or start loading riot shotguns with rock salt shells.

    sucks for the cop, not having guns or effective riot tools. I think if they did this riot wouldn't be going on this long and it wouldn't have so many casualties.

    Oh my God the narration of the brother's Facebook obituary made me laugh so hard.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    You mean the content or the fact that he posted it on facebook? Because both are fairly hilarious in their own way.

    Both. Plus the creaky-voiced narration.

    It reminds me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECfRp-jwbI4

    I read about that this morning, poopdeville. Woot!

    ------------



    Wow, this is a scary brawl, things could've turned out a lot nastier. A wild brawl started between the Georgetown Hoyas and China's Bayi team. Georgetown Hoyas was on a goodwill tour of China, and now this happens.

    I don't know the whole story, but from my perspective, as well as what I read and watched, it seems like the Bayi players were the aggressors, and really escalated this incident. Man, tossing chairs around is not nice. There might be more to it (maybe trash talking, physical play, or whatever, no need to start a brawl over that, though...), but as of right now, I'm calling it like I see it.

    It also doesn't help that the Chinese fans were throwing bottles and stuff at the Georgetown players, whilst they were leaving the court. Totally disgraceful and uncalled for. I'm Half-Chinese (British, Chinese/Cantonese), and even I'm not defending the fans actions. Giving us a bad reputation.

    As someone said, this is like a metaphor of the relationship between China and the USA right now.

    "The melee was the latest instance of on-court fighting by China, whose players have been fined tens of thousands of dollars by the world and Asian federations for scrapping with opponents." - New York Times

    Through the background noise and mainland-Chinese accent, I had trouble making out anything meaningful. Maybe someone else with native Mandarin background could hack this one. (mainland/Northern Chinese speak heavily with a curled tongue - ie the "R" sound)

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
