[quote=“ac_dropout”]Do you have evidence of this? Because if my memory serves me correct they were wearing black, which is not the national colors of ROC.
Also what kind of ROC nationalist would use nunchuck, a non-Chinese weapon, to attack a Chinese character actor peacefully asking to kill a major political figure on Taiwan while holding a battle axe.
pan-Green supporters are so restrainted that they put out cigarettes on defenseless women faces. :loco:[/quote]
I googled some of the media coverage and found my memory needed refreshing. You were right - the nunchuks wielders indeed wore black, but they nevertheless attacked pan-Green supporters. The TSU leader claimed they were members of the Bamboo Union gang. (Somwhat less plausibly, he also blamed the violence on Chinese Communist “fifth columnists.”) An entirely different group of pan-Blues wearing the national colors was reported fighting with pan-Green supporters near the EVA Air counter, but they used “poles” and “bats”. I stand corrected.
Oh, I also incorrectly assumed that the lunatic with the tradiional Chinese battle axe was a Blue supporter, but he was Green. Other Greens who could be singled out for the Hall of Shame include DPP Legislator Wang Shih-chien and TSU Legislator Lo Chih-ming, who led a large crowd into the terminal via the basement to avoid police.
Most of the fighting clearly took place between rival supporters (as opposed to the police) so I don’t see how it’s possible to pin the violence all on one side or the other. Numerous photos show demonstrators on both sides fighting with fists and a wide variety of weapons. People were reportedly attacked with rotten eggs, sticks, rocks, tire irons, bamboo poles, golf clubs, slingshots, walking canes, loudspeakers, folding chairs, sugar cane stalks and hair combs, among other items.
It’s also wrong to make generalizations based on particular incidents. Both sides can point to vicious actions, like beating “defenceless women” or elderly people.
