UPDATE: A Redshirt Proves That Whole 'Goon And Thug' Charge Wrong

After the earlier post, it's only fair to mention this as well:

. . . several readers quickly pointed out that the photo appeared to be misleading. Click here to see a photo of the “kicked” guy [in Seoul] holding up a bicycle over his head. . . It appears to be a threatening gesture.  Was he threatening to toss the bicycle at Chinese counter-protesters?  I don’t know.  Some Chinese websites suggest he brought on the violence himself.

I suppose there's a couple possibilities here.  Either one lone guy (who was eager for a beating) blithely walked into the middle of a group of hostile Chinese with his bicycle in order to threaten them with it . . . or, THEY surrounded HIM, and he got scared somewhere along the way.

(Might help to use Occam's Razor on this one.)
