I was up all night finishing my ethnographic project, and then finally finished at 6 in the morning. Since it was already morning, i decided to forgo any sleep and read the news instead. Imagine my surprise at the news in Taiwan of how four KMT lawmakers forced their way in side Frank Hsieh's headquarters on an "inspection tour" before being surrounded by a crowd of DPP supporters.
Here's the story on all the ruckus from the Taipei Times. Funny thing is that the KMT lawmakers are actually suing Frank Hsieh's staff- yes you heard that right- the KMT lawmakers are suing the people at the Hsieh HQ for...
1.Obstruction of freedom
2.Obstruction of duty
3.intention to harm
4.mis-sue by the Hsieh camp.
After bulling their way into their Hsieh's HQ, the KMT lawmakers then engaged into a verbal spar with the Hsieh staff. Hsieh's staff then called the police, and as the news spread people began to gather at the Hsieh HQ. This resulted in a violent clash between the folks outside and the cops. Thankfully no one was seriously injured. Imagine if Taiwan had no gun laws at all... then we would probably have had something from the matrix. Hmmm that would be kinda cool in a way though.
One word to sum it up folks.... LOL. And a sigh. You know, living in Taiwan is really like living in a soap opera- theres always something dramatic happening on this small lovely island.
