A disaster of Olympic proportions

So, despite the fact that they get to host the Olympics, the Chinese government apparently still doesn’t give a damn about little things like human rights, dignity, or freedom. How strange! Who could have ever predicted such a bizarre twist?

In addition to the abuse inflicted on the locals, for example destroying their houses, executing roughly 374 Chinese citizens during the Olympics, and deploying ridiculous amounts of surveillance and military strength, it looks like they’re also arresting foreign protesters, assaulting journalists, blocking Internet access even for foreign reporters, and just generally giving everyone a hard time.

Oh, this is a good one :

“We have laws regarding assembly and demonstrations, and we hope that foreigners will respect the laws of China.”

While we are aware of your laws, sir, there are reasons why we don’t respect them. It is because they are brutal and inhuman, in the image of the thugs, tyrants and monsters that create and enforce them.

We foreigners just happen to have a little more power to defy the crimes against humanity you call “laws” without getting murdered, that’s all.

Don’t worry, there will be more defiance and disrespect coming from foreigners, and soon.
