Hey motherfuckers, China's fate is the same as that of the United
States; civil war brought about by a class of super wealthy who think
they can do whatever they want. But not before the inevitably clash
with each other. Read Revelation 18 now you flithy pieces of *****. You
are witnessing right now in China what's gonna happen in the US.

Thousands riot in China, attack police, burn cars
June 29, 2005
BEIJING (Reuters) - Thousands of Chinese rioted in a dispute sparked by
a lopsided roadside brawl, set fire to cars and wounded six police
officers in an outburst likely to worry communist leaders in Beijing
desperate to cling on to power.
The violence was the latest in a series of protests which the Communist
Party, in power since 1949, fears could spin out of control and become
a channel for anger over corruption and a growing gap between rich and
poor.
It started before 3 p.m. when a Toyota sedan grazed a middle school
student crossing the street and the teen and the driver quarreled. A
few men emerged from the car and set on the student, a local store
manager surnamed Wu who saw the clash told Reuters by telephone.
The men were taken to a police station and a crowd that had been
watching the fight swarmed around the building, Wu said, demanding that
the men be handed over to them as their numbers swelled by the minute.
Some among the growing mob focused their anger on the men's Toyota,
smashing it, flipping it over and torching it, Wu said.
"The fire fighters drove up, but when they saw what was going on, they
fled," the store manager said.
Armed police tried to quell the disturbance but were driven back by a
hail of rocks and lit firecrackers, he said.
The local Chizhou Daily newspaper reported six policemen were injured
by stones, news Web site www.sina.com.cn said.
"The crowd also attacked reporters, one of whom was burned by a
firecracker, and they grabbed cameras out of the hands of anyone taking
pictures," Wu said.
Around 7.30 p.m., power to the police station was cut and "criminals"
started throwing fireworks inside, the Chizhou Daily report said.
The crowd, now numbering as many as 10,000, also flipped three parked
police cars and set them ablaze.
The mob crashed through the windows of Wu's store, located just down
the street from the police station, and began grabbing anything they
could get their hands on.
"We called the police immediately, but none came. Four hours later, the
provincial police chief arrived with a large group of police, but by
that time, my store was already stripped bare," Wu said.
"It was raining hard that day. Otherwise, more stores might have been
looted."
Hundreds of armed police in full riot gear managed to restore order in
Chizhou around midnight on Sunday.
The men from the Toyota were being held in detention and police had
apprehended 10 "criminals" suspected of involvement in the riot, Xinhua
said, adding an investigation of the incident was under way.
The riot closely echoed one that erupted in Chongqing in western China
last October when a quarrel between residents, in which one man passed
himself off as an official, enraged bystanders with the attempted abuse
of privilege.
Thousands took to the streets, burning police cars and looting
government buildings.
Protests have become increasingly common in China, fueled by corruption
and the widening wealth gap, but authorities are keen to quickly quash
dissent and preserve stability.
There were more than 58,000 protests, many of them over land rights
disputes, across the country in 2003, a Communist Party-backed
magazine, Outlook, has reported.
This month, villagers in northern Hebei province protesting to keep
their land were attacked by a group of armed hired toughs. Six farmers
were killed and 48 injured in the ensuing battle.
