From the Korea Times article talking about the big parliment brawl yesterday comes this quotation from Park Byeong-seuk (sic, 박병석), chief policy maker for the Democratic Party (민주당).
Rep. Park Byeong-seug, DP chief policymaker, said shortly before the committee's approval of the motion that his party would fight against the GNP in collaboration with the general public.
``We now realize that we are unable to represent the voices of working- and middle-class citizens properly in the legislature where all decisions are made based on votes,'' Park said.
That picture of him isn't from yesterday but rather from a different scuffle in 2007.

If I had to caption that picture, it would be one word.
"Ecstasy"
I thought the picture was just from the local 2001 Outlet shopping center.
You know, a new feature I could start is: "Parliament or E-Mart"?
My school also gets the teachers' union newsletter, which is always filled with pictures of protests. So I've been thinking about another feature: "Teachers' Union or Japanese Yonsama fans"?
Yeah, I see their point. They really stuck up for the middle class when they handed $100 million of its money to Kim Jong il.
Hey Brian, here is a great photo gallery: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/gallery/2008/dec/18/south-korea-assembly-violence-protests?picture=340881462
