protest - A village government on the run

After the riot

Simon World is doing an excellent job in keeping track of the stories appearing in other media. Times had an excellent story, but for one reason or the other (Hello, Nanny) I cannot get it anymore after been able to read it earlier today, so unfortunately, no quotes since I forgot to save it earlier.
Simon took over a story from the unlinkable South China Morning Post at his site.

Inside the school compound, 14 cars lie upside down, windows smashed, interiors ripped up, number plates bent. A police uniform is draped over one car - a trophy. On the other side of the large school yard lie dozens of buses. Their tyres have been slashed, and windows smashed. Some have been heaved on their sides.
Thirteen plants, operational since 2002, are blamed for a wide variety of environmental plagues. The riot has caused a massive number of wounded, but stories of deaths are being denied.
