Cool, so the unruly mob was burning cops/military alive, and that's why they needed to send in the military.

    Alright, then who was being burned alive? Because I was under the impression it was the military/police. Nakoichi is saying that they burned people alive and that's why the military was sent in, but it was the military being burned alive, meaning they were already there.

    Is burning a cop alive not a valid reason to quickly end the protest? Just trying to gauge what your stance is on immolation.

    To clear up some confusion, the soldiers and police who were burned and lynched at Muxidi were unarmed. The government responded on June 3-4 with an armed crackdown. The armed crackdown also encountered firebombs, but @Nakoichi@hexbear.net was referring to the earlier attacks at Muxidi.
