At least 4 Chengguan, the most hated police-inspectors in China, were beaten to death by angry people in Cangnan County of Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province (located in the industrial southeast), after they killed a man with a hammer. The police-inspectors hit the man with a hammer until he started to vomit blood, because he was trying to take pictures of their violence towards a woman, a street vendor. The man was rushed to hospital, but died on the way.

Thousands of angry people took to the streets, surrounded the police-inspectors in their van, attacked them with stones, bats, and beat them to death. People were shouting that the police-inspectors be killed on the spot for what they did: “Kill them! Kill them!”

These police-inspectors are notoriously violent, are rarely investigated or punished for their crimes, and are terrorizing people making a living. The Chengguan, which are a special combination between regular police and state inspectors, are called “violent government thugs” in China, thousands of them are on the state payroll in at least 656 cities. In July 2013, they beat to death a man and almost killed his wife, for trying to sell watermelon they had grown on their land. The crime of the Chengguan police sparked riots in the province of Guizhou.

It’s not clear what happened, though, but the responsibility for murdering the bystander taking pictures lays with the Chengguan. Among people there circulates a version of the events that claims that the police-inspectors hired some men to beat the bystander up after he tried to film them. The police-inspector ran so he could not be accused of being related to the murder. Apparently these Chengguan police proceed like this every time they meet people attempting to document or stop their violence.

Numerous police troops were deployed to disperse the crowds, but people kept protesting and demanded that media report what happened. Police used tear-gas and fired warning shots in the air, but could not control the angry crowds, which kept growing.

The images are very brutal. The woman lying on the street is the one abused by the Chengguan police. The dead men in the bus and beside it are the Chengguan police.

Similar police violence against workers and street vendors led to at least two insurrections against the state back in 2011.

Welcome to the jungle...

Can't say I blame them

The photo of the hammer that was used is not just a hammer. It's a sledgehammer. Jeez.

Those police thugs probably deserved what they got, considering how much they abused and killed harmless civilians. But sadly, there are many of them around. I am afraid this is gonna anger even more the authorities to tighten their grip on the citizens and abuse them even more in the future.

 

[DeadPresident]

It's about damn time.

 

[KevanG]

Not surprised considering what happens in China that we hear about, never mind what they don't get out.

I don't know that I agree with that. I'm not sure they deserved be beaten to death with a sledgehammer. It's vigilante justice and unlike fiction, in reality it isn't always clear cut who was in the right on these things, or how far is too far.

 

[Octoberist]

BTW, those photos are fairly graphic. Just seeing the dead bodies of the thugs in the bus. I think the crowd took the pants off of one of them. Crazy.

Very ugly. It's one thing to read about in fiction or whatever, but when you see photos of the actual events, yeah it's unsettling on both fronts.

The ideal thing in this world would be for no one to die. But in this case if what is said is true about the "Government Thugs”, then it is logical for the civilian mob to react that way. You can't abuse and kill innocent people for that long. They will eventually come after their oppressors.
I just hope, the authorities don't treat the citizens worse now.
This topic raises some interesting philosophical debates though. What if Hitler ended up on the hands of an angry mob, during his start of reign of Nazi Germany, would it be "ethical" to kill him and prevent millions of victims die from the latter wars?

 

[BestGirl]

^Hell yes. I don't think that's even up for debate.

 

[Ant-manic]

I don't necessarily agree. Hitler lit the match. but there was still fuel all over the place. Hitler being slain, if early on, might have just made him a matyr or a symbol for some other psychopath to use. the third reich was bigger than one man. and I'm sure that there were plenty of evil evil people waiting to rise through the ranks.

 

[Alex_Spider]

I know, I don't have the guts to take a life...Human, animal or insect that is. Even if I was in the middle of an angry mob, I would feel bad to indirectly take part in the killing of an evil man.

Yeah, that might be a strong possibility.

 

[Octoberist]

I would be angered but I would never take a life, unless that person was threatening me and I had to defend myself out of instinct. Like a home invasion and I had to protect myself.

 

[BestGirl]

Yeah, but you have to be a special kind of crazy to decide to take on the whole world at the same time while simultaneously killing off Europe's Jewish population. And you have to be particularly charismatic to convince many otherwise sane people to go along with that plan. The odds of someone else being that crazy and charismatic gaining control of Germany are pretty low, I think.

 

[Teelie]

I think Hitler is a poor choice of comparison. For one, we know what he was responisble for. That's after the fact. You can never know what someone will become before they have become it.

To murder someone that might be another mass murderer is too close to the border to me of pre-judging someone. Might as well murder them in the crib. What if it was known your child would be another Hitler? Would you have them aborted? Would you try to sway their decisions away from that path? What would you do if you knew without any doubt that your child was going to be the worst mass murderer in history and nothing would change their eventual course to that?

None of these people killed was the next Hitler either so it fails to do anything but evoke an exaggerated comparison that cannot be valid.

Those people may not have been mass murderers like Hitler, but they surely abused and killed a lot of innocent men and women judging from the claims that are made. Maybe they did it for money, or because the power they had corrupted their psyche. What about the french revolution? Should the oppressed people not revolt against the absolute monarchy and the feudal system that deprived them of their basic human rights?

 

[Teelie]

Claims are just that, claims. I can claim I'm Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. That doesn't make it true.

This is why we have courts and a justice system. It might be a flawed, broken system but it's better than someone justifying their murdering someone else and claiming it was self defense or that the other person was somehow deserving of summary execution.

They had no trial, no defense, no way to show if they were actually the individuals involved in whatever murders their agency was accused of. Not everyone in a corrupt government is guilty of corruption.

 

[Octoberist]

You're Bill Gates?

 

[Teelie]

I could be.

😳😳😳Ehhhh did you read the report? It stated that these were the men that was attacking the woman in the street and then they bashed the poor guy who was filming the abuse heads in. Obviously the witnesses are the one who branded their own form of justice. And I say well done, scum deserve to be put down like dogs. If you can't take it and all that jazz, those men reaped what they sowed end of.

I think his point is that they should be put on trial nonetheless of what they did, instead of the mob taking the law into their own hands and executing them.
But we all know those scums would never go into prison for what they did. They would probably keep abusing more citizens.

Regardless how cruel this incident might seem, it is also a sign of heroism where people defend one another when in need. It's not like this is the first time when powerful authorities do horrible things to innocent people and many witnesses watch unable to do anything out of fear and walk away. It happens all the time, especially in countries like China. So, I say kudos to the civilians for taking action towards the injustice that is abusing them. Although killing those men, won't solve anything really as there are thousand more.

Read the report from a biased source? One that clearly wants to paint this as some kind of social justice? Where is an independent one that gives the facts, not one that says these people performed a heroic act of brutally beating a bunch of men to death with only photos that could be manipulated to corroborate their story?

hey, i'm not against killing the guy. i think you'd have to take him out prior to nazism, though. and someone doesn't need to control Germany to create a tragedy of some sort. instead of concentration camps, it might have just been an upswing in violence against the jewish people.

This is probably the fate that will befall the Chinese government.
