Sorry, Joshua, I just couldn’t resist:
From Yonhap.
Oh, and if the hapless Americans/Canadians who got assaulted by the Chinese yesterday are reading this, your plight was reported in the very right-wing Korean online paper FreeZone, which, if you’re anything like the pro-Tibet people I knew in the States, is probably the last place you wanted your story to be.

Time for a backlash.
No problem! I appreciate the link.
My guy’s face was uglier, you have to admit!
True dat. But this might trump yours:

And we approved to have the games in China? Animals.

There is quite a selection of ugly faces in that picture. I think you win.
I concede defeat in ugly protester face competition.
It’s all a big mistake. While it looks like the protesters are verbally attacking and possibly physically threatening the pro-Tibet protester, they are actually pointing out that the pro-Tibet protester has something on his face. The gentleman in the lower picture seems to be kind and familiar enough to try to scratch it out for him.
“Dude, you got like a black stuff on your face.”
“Really? Here?”
“No, not there. There.”
“Patriotism is being proud of a country’s virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country’s virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries…The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does.”
Sidney Harris

#9: What a terrific quote.

Not from the Chinese masses. The average Chinese is ecstatic that the stinking barbarians have been put in their place for the unforgivable sin of slandering the mother/ancestral country.
They seem to be obsessed with the size of his nose. Nazi Chinese?

“Hey long nose… open your eyes! We outnumber you!”
They released a video where they talk about what happened that day:

Notice the older guy in the bottom picture, the one with the military haircut? I wonder if he’ll get a medal for having accomplished his mission.
Your impossible mission, if you choose to accept it: infiltrate the Chinese protest, blend in, gather information without being identified, and return to base…
Hahaha.
