Anti-US Hate Groups Plan More Attacks on Troops

No surprise here, the anti-US hate groups will be out in force attacking 20 year old mandatory service draftees just trying to serve their country again:

Another violent showdown looms as groups protesting against the relocation of U.S. military bases to Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province are gearing up for a massive 10,000-strong protest this weekend. According to the police, the opposition groups will stage a demonstration in memory of the 1980 Gwangju Democratic Uprising, with which they have compared their movement, on Friday and continue their protests in Pyongtaek until Sunday. Police said the activists are looking at demonstrations in Daechu-ri, from where they have just been evicted, Dodu-ri and Pyeongtaek City.

I will be surprised if they get 10,000 people to show up. The hate groups are overplaying their hand and IMHO are slowly losing support within the greater Korean public. People are getting fed up with the violence against the riot police and soldiers:

The military has already started equipping the soldiers, who were violently attacked by protesters on May 5, with equipment to protect themselves.

Defense Minister Yoon Kwang-ung visited Pyeongtaek on Tuesday, partly to encourage the troops. “It would be nice if they would hold the protests in Yeouido or in front of the Government Complex in Gwanhwamun or somewhere like that,” Yoon quipped. He also promised the unpleasant conditions the troops stationed at Pyeongtaek face ¿will get better little by little.”

I am with the Defense Minister on this one. Minister Yoon has been left by himself to deal with these anti-US hate groups while all the other politicians hide. Where is Roh Moo-hyun on this? At least I know where Chung Dong-young is at; he is hiding on Dokdo. Wait a minute I almost forgot, Roh is hiding in Mongolia. Anyway I think it would be great if the riot police loaded up all these people and dumped them in front of Cheongwadae. Maybe if these rioters attacked Roh and his cronies with metal pipes and bamboo poles than they would do more to protect the riot police and soldiers just trying to serve their country in Pyeongtaek and show some leadership on an issue critical for the future of the US-ROK alliance..
