Vandal damages China's iconic Mao portrait

[DMikeS4321]

Cause we have cases and casses of Brasso metal polish! This could be a new viable government run program!

 

BTW, what happened to the detained worker? Any news of the confesssion? Or did he just take off for his "vacation" in upper Mongolia already?

 

Hey, wait a minute.... Aren't you the guy who is buying Chrysler from Daimler-Chrysler??? What are YOU doing posting here?

 

There used to be a guy here that posted under your name....

Mike,

 

"...Chrysler from Daimler-Chrysler?....."

 

Is there is an alleged punch line I missed here? I prefer to drive a "shop, buy, drive and until it drops" car!

 

Someone, had better not being using my "nome de guerre!" If they are please advise me. I will REMEDY this situation "toute DAMN suite!"

 

Is this serious? Or just "yanking" my chain? Sorry! Don't mean to get on your case! I guess just "good-ole-boys" PMS is setting in. Maybe I missed something?

 

I definitely ain't done with this thread! If I posted something I missed, please inform me! Then I will stand humbly before you and apologise to you and this forum! I checked my past posts. I mean all 656 posts!

 

God! I need some Valium!

That is not the interesting part.

I'm in Shenzhen, China.

Three interesting things to note:

 

1) in the Chinese and English versions of the news article published inside the country. The person was quote "a former mental patient at a psych facility." haha

 

2) The picture weighs 2 TONS.

 

3) They had a spare picture and that they 'quickly' replaced the burned one.

 

They closed the Forbidden City, replaced the picture and then re-opened the F.C.

 

I saw on the Chinese news just now that they actually took the picture down!

HaHa,you would HAVE to be a mental patient to pull a stunt like that.

He didn't even do a very good job of vandalizim,barely damaged the picture.

 

In America,we dont have to keep "spare" Statue Of Liberty,just in case B) .

Im in Beijing.

My friend has high Chinese Govt job,and his comments was:

 

"The guy was not really XinJiang person,but he is a crazy person.It is possible he may not have to go to jail at all because he is crazy.Maybe free after two days or two weeks or two years in hospital,maybe.Maybe he did it to get famous".

 

Well,that guy who shot Ronald Reagan was found innocent by reason of insanity,but he spent a long time "not in jail".

We were actually at the Forbidden City the day this happened. We must have missed it by only a few hours. Didn't see any suspicious looking characters.

I tooks some shots of Mao's pic too. We happened to hear about it that night on CNN International in our hotel room. Just a short blurb. We looked in the papers the next day but,of course, nothing about it.
