Well, you can't keep dictators like the Chinese from the natural dispositions long.
Police break up protest by parents of China earthquake victimsIt looks like the China censorship machine is in full swing now, controlling media output.
Journalists were dragged away from today's protest, which was being held to coincide with a visit to Dujiangyan by Li Changchun, the country's fifth-ranked ruler.
The parents, of course, can get no relief from their Communist rulers:
Chinese police broke up a demonstration today by angry parents protesting about the deaths of their children in poorly constructed schools during last month's earthquake.
About 100 parents, many holding pictures of their dead children, were forced away from a court in Dujiangyan in Sichuan province.
"Why?" some of them shouted. "Tell us something," they said as black-suited police wearing riot helmets manhandled them.
The parents had been kneeling in front of the court chanting: "We want to sue."
More than 270 students died when one high school collapsed in Juyuan, near Dujiangyan.
The break-up of the demonstration followed a report that the Chinese authorities had ordered journalists to tone down critical stories about the construction of so-called "tofu" school buildings.
I fully support these brave parents that are enraged at their awful government. I only hope that the Chinese dictators will not machine gun them down in the streets like they did with the Tiananmen Square protestors.
