Camp Humphreys Protests Peaceful for Once

Of course the anti-American website Voice of People would have the first reports and pictures concerning the protest Sunday at Camp Humphreys.

People Protesting Without Bashing in Policemen’s Heads with Pipes.

The report is all in Korean, but using my limited Korean knowledge I was able to make out, correct me someone if I’m wrong, that the protest drew approximately 4,000 people and get this, there was no violence against the riot police. In fact the riot police look pretty bored judging by this picture:

I have no problems with this protest; these people got their message out without destroying property or injuring anyone. In fact instead of violence they resorted to flying kites:

Actually looks like fun, but I don’t think young children should be at a protest like this, but I guess if you belong to one of the hate groups it is best to indoctrinate them while they are still young before they actually have a chance to meet any US soldiers and judge for themselves if they are the evil, thug barbarians that they have been told about.

Besides the kite flying this bomb fire looks like fun for the entire family as well:

Where’s the Marshmallows at?

Here is one of the main guys stirring up the trouble down there in Pyoengtaek, a Catholic priest named Mun Jeong-hyun:

 

 

 

 

 

Now my first question for him is how is he a Catholic priest, but is able to endorse people making offerings to an altar that is used to please the traditional Korean Gods for a good harvest:

On top of that the Shaman priest is some guy from Okinawa, Japan:

I thought these hate groups hated both the Japanese and the Americans?

Mr. Mun is a well known anti-USFK activist from Kunsan, not Pyeongtaek, and he has caused violence before in the past and has had police warrants out for his arrest, but yet here is again. At least this time he didn’t incite violence, but still I find it interesting that a Catholic priest is compliant with shamanist offerings and inciting violence in the name of the Catholic church.

Well I will continue to update this post as more information becomes available in the English media, but from what I can tell this protest wasn’t very large but I never expected it to be. The hate groups’ Super Bowl will be when the Korean government tries to forcibly remove protesters from homes on the bought land that will be used to expand Camp Humphreys.
