[bodean87]

Do they need volunteers to help remove the idiots?

I've been to Tienanmen Square, and it kind of made me nervous.  I don't think I've seen as large of a concentration of security cameras in my life.  Soldiers and security everywhere as well as the only 2 guns (I'm assuming they were in the closed top holsters) I saw over there.

China can shut down a protest very effeciently.  It even shuts down foreign access to Tibet for much of the summer.

Do Aussie cops carry sidearms?  The Brits (or Chinese for that matter) don't.

Just as a sidenote.  That grey in the sky is smog.

The city of Chengdu, way to the west in China, and from which the US launched its first incendiary attacks against Japanese positions in China in WWII, is in the heart of the industrialization movement in China today. One of my clients has an office there, and inside the building, inside the data center, the room with the servers and routers, the industrial dust collects quickly. The air smells bad too, and your clothes, even those not worn while there, have to all be laundered upon your return. So yeah, lovely air quality.

Looks like a really good place to race Go-Karts!

Yes, primarily Glock 17s, at least the Tazmainia Police did.  Didn't hang out with the guys in Western Oz as much.

Speaking of which, how come our "International Brigade " has not weighed in on this ?
I would have thought Phil and Sledge would have something to add.

[Timothy]

Neither have been around for a couple of weeks!

Stocking up on beer and popcorn to go watch the show maybe 

[Solus]

Work grabbed Phil for a length of time several weeks ago...maybe it got him again..

That still leaves Sledge among the missing.
