Man Crushed by Steamroller On Orders of Chinese Officials

    This story has not reached main stream media yet and no doubt it will.

    Every so often a shocking story like this leaks out from China, about six months ago it was the child run over by two trucks. This is just as shocking in that it was authorised by the state. The Victims family were even offered compensation to try and keep a lid on it but the story has seemingly gone out.

    A villager in northern China attempting to resist a forced government relocation by remaining on his land was brutally crushed to death by a road flattening truck on the orders of a Chinese government official.

    The story, which was censored in China’s state controlled media, has caused outrage amongst users of Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter, given it’s horrifying similarity to what happened to student protesters who were crushed to death by tanks during the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.

    The victim, He Zhi Hua, refused to accept a paltry payment from the government which has forcefully evicted Changsha Village locals in order to re-appropriate their land for commercial use.

    When Hua began a protest by lying down on the spot through which construction vehicles had to pass, the local Vice Mayor ordered workers for the state-owned company to murder Hua by driving over his body with a huge road-flattening truck.

    Shocking images show Hua’s pulverized brains and his mangled body in the aftermath of the state-sponsored execution.

    Fearing unrest if the story got out to a wider audience, the government sent in 200 men to keep angry locals at bay and hide the remains of the body. The man’s family was offered a sum of money in order to keep quiet about the incident.

    Chinese government seems to have a well documented disregared for human life. Armed with that knowledge I wont be standing in front of anything of theirs big enough to kill me. Seems simple logic to me.

    Ya know what I hate. That if a celeb dies, or if someone in Ireland dies. Everyone has to say "RIP" "Condolences" in after hours.

    But since this man is half way around the world, fudge him. He got crushed to death, ha fcuking ha!

    Rant over!

    Haha. I cant say what I feel. Ive been banned too much on boards cause I took the bait in the past.

    I just think Its a bit harsh to make gags, especially that, its grand to make fun of this guy in China, but if a man was crushed in Laois tomorrow by some farming equipment, It would be "RIP", "his poor children", "poor man, horrible way too go" etc, all over after hours


    Maybe youre right, we should laugh at everyone when they die, especially when they die a horrible death, haha, every bone in his body was crushed, haha, Fcuk his family, fcuk them all, haha, Im funny!

    If you read the small print it says.."it is unclear what the pictures show,however,there is the possibility it could have been an accident" anyhow dont let that get in the way of a good old racist rant.

    That's because the chances of him being Irish, his family would be reading it here and be crushed if they read the puns.

    However the chances of the Chinese people reading this thread would be slim. Very.

    It seems like such a common accident and yet it still happens. Why don't they have a steel mesh over them or a lattice of bars within that would prevent people from drowning?

    I am most definitely not a fan of the Chinese Government, but if a governmental vehicle ran over an Irish person, the Irish Government would probably offer a compensation (to settle).

    Maybe it's because the posters (and mods) are fairly sure his family or anyone that knew him, won't be reading threads on boards.

    Also, if he laid down in front of a moving vehicle, did he not commit suicide?

    Are you really gonna argue with me about this point.... One guy on the thread "Wacker the attacker" made a joke or slagged Spence. I dont even know what he said as the post was deleted, and about 4 people on the first page gave Wacker stick about it.

    Anyway Mikom, I think you know what my point is.
    And also Chuck Stone was pointing out how an accident like this could be avoided, he wasnt slagging The Spence family for some Thanks like some people in this thread.

    We dont know if he committed suicide.

    So the only reason posters/mods give out/delete about puns and jokes about a dead person, is that they fear some of the family of the decesed might read it????

    Maybe I should just start a thread about this issue I have with double standards in after hours, as Im going off topic right now. But most of the posts already in this thread are cracking gags.

    I dont give a sh/te what people say here, at the end of the day the man is dead. He is hardly worried about a thread in AH on boards.ie

    But tea, you shouldn't read things that you know will offend you. Better for the health to steer clear!

    Just as well he wasn't Pakistani, he'd be a flat-pak. Disgraceful how this is not being taken seriously, it could be us next, if we flew to China and laid in front of a steamroller.

    No no, I dont think you know what I mean, Im not offended by any of it really. Just want to know why the double standard is ok in after hoursm with the mods, and us irish people in general.
    Some of the puns and jokes would be very funny, if it wasnt so serious, as some man being crushed to death.

    You cant stand in the way of progress. The government owns the land your house is on . In Ireland people take the government for 5 times the value of the house when the government need it for a road. A chap at ballymun got crazy money for a small patch of land he had a caravan on . The chinese dont take that **** .
    Also is there any proof this was the story the dailymail like to buy pictures and make up the story like a 3 year old pretending he can read.

    I see parallels it seems the larger the population; the giving of less of a sh!t do you ever think they just get sick of the sight of each other.. particularly where they look like each other

    I reckon the world over has a disregard for chinese life, due to there just being a crazy amount of em. The gulf between how I'd not particularly like to be seen out with one yet particularly like to be seen in one is staggering
