The most fail Tunisia inspired protest yet
 

OK, so in the past few days, there has been posts on the internet encouraging Chinese citizens to protest like the Tunisians, to "take down the government".

The result was pathetic.
According to estimates, there was around 100 people that showed up to protest in Beijing. Against 300 cops waiting for them. More than 2000 people showed up in total though, but they were people and journalists there "to watch".

Around half the protesters were arrested, they were arrested not for "disrupting transportation" like what happened last time in the Tian an men square protests. Since Tian an men square can accommodate around 3000 people easily. Instead, they were arrested for littering, and creating excessive noise.

There was even traffic cops directing onlookers and reporters to parking spots.

as we can see from this picture:

1 guy was arrested, the rest of the crowd was just watching

also, nothing made the Chinese news, probably because there is usually 2000 people per morning in Tian an men square to watch them raise the flag. While there was only slightly more than 100 protesters.

Suppose they gave a protest and no one came?

:D

I suppose that the fear of disappearing forever kept a lot of people at home.

The only failure seems to be a 15yr old child, mocking people who try to stage a protest in a dictatorship.
While he enjoys the freedom to utter troll commentaries and repeat chinese government propaganda, he also enjoys the freedom to visit any internet pages he wants to, even those which use the verb "fail" as a noun.

Making fun of people who demand the same liberty, among many other things, while sitting in the safeness of mamas home, enjoying said freedom and living in a country which grants the right to assemble and protest? :damn:

Those people there, who are protesting, have bigger balls than you will ever have.

@penguin
how is this any different than this: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=180491

Or the protests of the Westboro Baptist Church

oh, right. These guys were worse
there was like 3 guys, carrying picket signs and screaming slogans, in front of the cops and crowds of people there to watch the excitement

After a while, they got tired and left. The ones who threw their picket signes onto the ground were arrested for littering.

Thing is, rumor says that the whole event was orchestrated by people outside of China using blogs and twitter.
The organizers didn't even show up

Can anyone see the irony in having "the_tyrant" create a thread about people failing to turnover the power of corrupt leaders?:hmmm:

Tunisia has not judgment problems, as other countries are experiencing currently, as a likely power shift is not to wait .... at least not right now

The trouble with Tunisia is that it's full of Tunises. Tunins. Tuns. Nah, doesn't work.

Turnips? Turnipsia. Tunic. Triplicate... :o:nope:

I'll take "The Trouble with Tribblestan" for 500, Alex. :yeah:

If you cannot see the difference between people who protest in a dictatorship and your examples, then I am sorry for you.

Did you even read the link you posted?
hint: custody without charges is the key word

When people mock that mexichick or the WBC they mock their cause, not that they use their right to voice their opinion in public. Even if it would be only one person standing on a place, numbers say **** about the legitimation of their cause.

Triffids?

Tuna:salute:

One word CHINESEEEEEEEEEE elite.


There's a certain growing numbers of rich Chinese here who are so different from the previous or old generation rich Chinese. They are much more arrogant, selfish, violent and basically being obnoxious.........

I as a Chinese feel thoroughly DISGUSTED! And to come to think that these very idiots may ruin the Chinese minority image in the country is appalling.

I believe these people may enjoy good higher education but OBVIOUSLY they are not educated people in any standard :damn:. Skillful maybe but never educated. Rough people. Unpolished. Rich rough unpolished obnoxious Indonesian Chinese. Yuck.

They are growing in numbers too. And they will breed too and teach their children wrong. God help us all :dead:

Isn't that two words?
but for shelf life of this new regime it does raise the question. Are they better in oil or in brine?
I do find the canned tuna better in brine but i havn't tried the chinese elite, I did read an article this morning about chinese demand for farmed salmon but thats a differnt kettle of fish entirely

Yes.this is a fish, thanks for the information, :yeah:
