Words for Korea: Molotov coc.ktails, steel pipes, bamboo sticks...
Foreign news agencies are once again filling their news stories about Korea with riot-related terminology. "Plastic bags with fermented shrimp," a new weapon that made its debut in the Buan riots, was added to the list of descriptions for Korea, and a report on November 15 described a police officer pummeling a passerby with a metal shield.
The reports make Korea look like a country of violence and disorder. Yoon Yun-soo, the CEO of FILA Korea, said that during his business trips to other countries, foreign CEOs inquired into his health and safety.
An overseas resident official said that the image of Korea now is reverting to that of the chaotic 1980s, saying that pictures of the violent demonstrations and rallies reported on TV and newspapers are ravaging the image of Korea, which is already hurt by the North Korean nuclear crisis.

The notion that weaponizing food-borne pathogens requires sophisticated biological manipulation is a myth coming from the production of biologic weapons for mass casualties. All it takes to make food into a weapon is a little bit of entrepreneurial, basic microbiologic information and access to soil, manure, and untreated water.

I was reading in the paper about 'starfish bombs' used last week against Seoul police. Half-rotted starfish that apparently leave an indelible 2 or 3-day stench. |

I'm surprised you found a container able to hold that vile concoction.
Leave that overnight in a balmy Korean summer, and you'll know the true meaning of fear.

jae. |

I was talking about this with a student today, and he told me that at Seoul National University, where he is a student, there is a protest/ weapons making manual. He said it's updated every year  |
