i understand that chinese people can't support the oppression very openly because their body will be on the street next day. They have to be tongue tied and their mouth shut. let their be a boycot of the olympic games in china. Shame on chinese govt. Even family can't own two children but one child.The majority of the chinese people are suffering while the army is equiping with latest weapons to kills millions and annex countries......

Findo4,

We do not disagree with you on the Chinese government, but your facts are too far off to the left field. There had not been one decent government in these world event the Vatican have it dirty laundry. Tell me which country are you from and I will send you dirt about your governemnt.

HU JINTAO(big pig)+WEN JIABAO= ADOLF HITLER

THIS IS WHAT WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN. ALL THESE YEARS OF SUPPRESSION. IT IS ALL VERY HUMAN TO BURST LIKE A BOMB AFTER A WHILE; ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. TIBETANS CANNOT TAKE THE CHINESE OPPRESSION ANYMORE. TRY LIVING AS A TIBETAN IN TIBET UNDER THE CHINESE THEN U WILL UNDERSTAND. THESE TIBETANS KNOW THAT THEIR ACTIONS MEAN A HEAVY PRICE TO PAY BUT THEY DO IT SO THAT THE REST OF THE WORLD WILL PAY ATTENTION.

CHINA IS A LIAR!!! CHINA IS A MURDERER!!

Shame on chinese mafia-govt, chinese police and chinese army. Chinese ppl wake up and stand up for your rights.

Stand up and shout out loud:

FREE CHINA! DOWN WITH OUR GOVERMENT! FREE TIBET! FREE EAST-TURKESTAN! FREE INNER MONGOLIA! FREE CHINA!

Let china make their bloody olympics. This will be the greatest Tibet protest the world has ever seen.

The world will see thousands of tibetan flags.

The world is looking at you, china.......

nnoolympics: people like you guys like much more evil and hypocritical than the communists, communists lie when there is no facts but become soft when facts appear, but you people will still be in denial when there is concret evidence.... maybe u should email the post and tell him to change the video to Chinese kill tibetans.. juss to comply with your view..

##The TRUE reason for UNPLANNED riots##

What began as a peaceful demonstration by monks on the anniversary of a failed uprising in 1949 has escalated into widespread demonstrations, with accounts emerging of security forces using live bullets, tear gas and other means to restore order.
