In that case, they ought to be pissed at the girl scouts, too.

Remember Mad Bull Shit? Yeah, me neither. *cough* It's a shame how the media manipulated the poor, helpless people like that, who had no choice but to go along. *cough* *cough* Too bad there was nobody out there, no scientists or international journalists or anything, presenting the other side of the story. The citizenry---the ones who kept their mouths shut for three months---is certainly entitled to money for the embarrassment caused their reputation as Koreans by the actions of rabble-rousers. *cough* *cough* *cough* I just wonder if white people are allowed to join up, too, because we took the worst of it.

Anyway, the "stroller moms" are in the news again, as they are being investigated for participating in illegal protests. I have no idea about that, about whether they violated the restrictions of the protest permit, and about whether the government should be cracking down on demonstrators in a democracy. But I do know those dumbasses ought to be investigating for being unfit parents who put their kids in harm's way in order to grab headlines and further their dumb-ass cause.




People are of course unhappy about these investigations, claiming the police were overstepping their bounds by visiting the mothers at home without warning. I feel the same way about missionaries, neighbors, and the laundry guy.

`"Police should have sent a written request for summons to them if they needed to question the mothers. Demanding a summons by visiting the house without prior notice is an abuse of authority, and saying that they would arrest her is a threat," the coalition said in a statement.

When was the last time you were given prior notice about anything here, let alone a visit by the cops? There's more:

A blogger ``bigman'' said on Daum, ``No one was hurt by the strollers. The mothers did not organize a coup d'etat with the babies.'' Another Internet user ``eureca'' said the government should understand the mothers who did not have other ways to express their opinion but taking their babies to the protest scene.

Back in June an internet user wrote of the mothers:

I’m in tears. I’m touched by the desperateness of the mother who stood in front of the water canon cars with her dear child.

Protesting beef because they believed it could harm their children . . . by taking their infants to political demonstrations where their children could be harmed. Does not compute. Today's KT piece continues:

The main opposition Democratic Party also denounced police, saying they are investigating mothers who worry about the children's health, in the name of establishing order. ``After oppressing the people and religion, the police are now trying to suppress moms,'' it said in a statement.
