I just saw this story on YouTube. It looks like it happened in 2008. Some Koreans decided to kill pheasant birds by pounding them to death with hammers on top of Rising Sun Japanese flags. They were protesting the Dokdo islands that Japan also claims as their own.

Now is that any way to gain sympathy for your cause? Disgusting!

Umm...

Emotion nor logic explains what they are doing.

I don't think being psychotic would even explain this kind of behavior.

The men killing the birds are described as "elite soldiers'. I guess that explains why the police did nothing to stop this. The police were, I imagine, afraid of these guys.

Who knows what they were thinking doing this type of protest? They've probably done a lot of damage to their cause with this.

I have never seen a less logical of group of people (koreans) in my life. It's shocking.

What's really weird about this Korean emotion thing is that they're aware of it and will cite while getting pissed off. I've had a few entanglements with ladies and all the sudden they go completely batshit and say "This is how Koreans are it's our way".

Sorry but if you can actually think that and say it while you're getting angry it's just a cop out using culture as a crutch.

Seriously Korea, Seriously? Live Bird Killing? I don't even see a connection...am I missing some sort of symbolism here?

That's just absolut bat turd. Some circuit is missfiring there.

I mean I appreciate good ole live animal mutilation, pyromania, and sense
