A peaceful demonstration in China's Western providence turns bloody. Xinjiang is China's largest providence in the China's Western region. It has a low population density per square mile. Xinjiang is filled with oil and gas reserves. On the Morning of July 6,2009, a group of High School and college students started attacking the Han Chinese. Three Thousand ethnic Uighurs attacked the Han Chinese living peacefully in Xinjiang. Sources say that at least 156 Han Chinese were killed in the riot. More than 1000 Han Chinese were injured.The true story may be different because the world is unable to know the whole story because of China's information firewall.
The protest got really bloody because protesters started killing innocent civilians. They set cars and buses on fire. They ripped the windshield off of the vehicles.
I completely understand that the Chinese Communist Party can give the Muslims more freedom, however destroying public property does not help their case.
Imagine if protesters came through Time Square in New York City and people destroyed the square. What if the American people killed police men and civilians? What would the US Government do?
In the 1992 Los Angeles riot, the LA Police was shown in a videotape beating African Americans. The riot became worse and the National Guard was sent. In addition to the National guards,the US Army and marines were sent to LA.
The US Government always say that the Chinese government's method of dealing with these riots is wrong, but it's the way the Chinese people protest. It is always obvious to sent the military when a riot turned bad.
Burning buses and cars is not a peaceful protest. That is violence. This is not a peaceful protest.
If you think this is using freedom of Speech, then you're wrong. I want to see somebody protest in the US by burning buses and cars. Try that and see what's going to happen.
