 |
|
In case anyone hasn't noticed, the police have blocked off access to Seoul Plaza. From the KT: Thousands of riot police tightly surrounded the venue anticipating a possible clash between angry mourners and police, ensuring the obstruction of traffic.
While I've never been too sympathetic to rioters here, this seems to me to be an overreaction by the police. At a time of mourning I would hope public gathering places would be accessible.
What does everyone else think?

Walking around the area, I said to my wife: "Now I don't have to visit Pyeongyang." |
