An independent Tibet will be another Human Right Hell

Based on what's happened in the past a few days, it will just be another genocide. Whatever these people are craze about, it only demonstrated that they are just crazy people. To pick the lesser of the two evils, an independent Tibet won't be my choice.

To me, once civilians are targeted by the so called "peaceful" protesters, they are asking to be treated with force, which is then well justified. I don't want to speculate whether this is their plan, but similar plots sure happened in the past, so blood from others may create news worthy stories. Look at how LAPD dealt with the riot in 1994 and 2006. Let's see whether the protests in NYC would dare to burn anything not belong to themselves?

Let's read some of the excerpt from this article on the Christan Science Monitor:

"TOKYO - Some 1,500 Tibetans engaged in street fighting with several hundred armed police as unrest intensified in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa, according to a group of foreign backpackers who witnessed rioting Friday in which protesters targeted Han Chinese and Muslims known as Hui."

"Rioters then went on a rampage, setting fire to several buildings. "They were civilians, not monks," said Paul."

"Ken, an ethnic Chinese raised in the West, ran to help a beaten Chinese man bleeding in the street. "When the Tibetans saw my Chinese face, they raised stones to throw at me. Then when I told them where I was from, they smiled and said 'You're OK'."

"Ken later wrote on his blog: "We also saw a monk (or at least someone dressed like one) direct an attack on a store or restaurant with a small Chinese flag flying from it."

"The European traveler said he was hiding out with a Tibetan family but eventually got kicked out when he disagreed with their sentiment that all Chinese and Muslims should be removed from Tibet. A monk who was with the family asked him to leave, to avoid confrontation"

More first-person accounts from Lhasa:

"I saw three people assaulting a man - I was 50 metres away, but I think he was Chinese. They kicked him and then one man had a knife and used it. He was lying on the floor and the man put the knife in his back, like he wanted to see he was dead."
