I just wish these violence won’t happen to anyone of us. God bless.

On the issue of illegality, I find what I worry: when laws again and again upset people, it loses its power and no rule could be respected, no spirit of contract could be fostered, while violence and “mob’s justice” would substitute. But I presently don’t think the substitution a 100% evil thing.
Would there be order after disorder?

Back to the topic, I believe any form of voilence is evil. Showing your anger and opinion is your civil rights, but by destroying someone’s car doesn’t make it right. I merely see crime and uncivilize action, nothing more.

1.Qian Jun钱军 beat an old man though it is his car that bumped the victim. He totured the old man so cruelly that incured flooded indignation later. A video clip recored the scene.

2.Pan Bobin潘博斌, a car owner whose car brushed a lady, hit the woman and yelled out shamelessly “I am from the Labor Bureau!” ,as if that gave him the right to hit an innocent.

They are all car owners. What does a car mean? License to kill? I thrilled at what a car, a vehicle, could imply in China.

and kudos to those students. Bravo!

The students are angry for many reasons, and rightfully so. Justice should prevail…but will it?

Does it have to do with party corruption? Influence of capitalism? “conscience of a society, awaked”? Or simply a channel to show your anger and another classic case of collective unconsciousness action.

The deepest problem that induced the conflicts between status is the impotency and corruption in the community party’s government.

Why the security system was daunted as the woman explicitly suggested her “special background”?

I feel it’s difficult to blame on the guards, go-ans, or policemen because they are also the suppresed ones: They are afraid of getting laid off if they dare keep justice.

Why did they, who are supposed to secure the society and ordinary people, fail to execute their duties?

These on-site security keepers mostly came from ordinary families, and it costed them time and efforts to obtain such a ‘decent’ job; how can we expect them to pull a tiger’s hair while there could be no promise for their “safety”?

The actual problems are: Does the government support them? Do the people have the right to back up the officers? Are the politicians willing to support their action?

As long as the politicians have the pressure from people, as long as people can veto the legitimacy of the government, the system in the country can be established well and officers in this system can be on duty without fear.

Hence, natrually, when the system is not sound, people can only claim their rights, show their anger, and restore justice, all by themselves.

This is why the Xmas eve event happened, although this is also a little sad.

But when I saw the suppressed stood out to do what they ought to do, I felt cheered about China’s future, because the students, conscience of a society, awaked.

I think inflation-driven unrest is going to become a very big issue in China faster than anybody expects.

What’s happening around the nation as one year closes and another begins 2007 is definitely the year…

1. In front of massive disorder of the students, she couldn’t nothing but calming down the anger.
2. There shall be investigations over the chain of responsibilities around the incident if following legal procedures.

Per the root causes, the following parties in a sequence shall be investigated: Guard – Security Head in Nan Kai Uni – Traffic police – Gong An – Headmaster of University – Students finally. As those causual factors if counted properly could prevent from happenning of the car-smashing. Given legal investigation process to all parties other than just one or two of them, the students may inevitably be dealt with legal consequence for damaging action. Let’s wait and see.

2.From legal perspective, those students did betray the laws since they had rolled over and whipped other people’s possession, although there was a righteous reason for the action. What if the one in the Buick sue to the court? who is going to be the final one responsible for the broken sedan?
