More Hate Group Members Let Go By Korean Courts

Is it any wonder why the Defense Ministry wants to prosecute these rioters themselves when the civilian courts continue to let these violent hate group activists go free:

In a hearing, the Suwon District Court’s Pyeongtaek branch gave orders to set free the activists “deemed to have not participated in demonstrations actively.”
The ruling dealt yet another blow to prosecutors and police who could so far officially arrest only 10 of the hundreds of anti-U.S. activists detained following last week’s bloody protests against plans to expand a U.S. base south of Seoul.

“There is no direct evidence to suggest that they wielded bamboo sticks or damaged wire fences even though they staged illegal protests inside the fences,” Ma Seong-young, presiding judge, said.

Prosecutors will consider whether to again attempt to formally arrest those released after they study court rulings, according to prosecution officials.

As part of stern measures against anti-U.S. demonstrators, South Korea is seeking military trials for protesters who trespass on the planned site for expanded U.S. military facilities in Pyeongtaek.

Just another example of how the civilian authorities continue to let these hate groups assault and injure the mandatory service draftee riot police with no punishment.  Why doesn’t the court identify these people with the bamboo poles and metal pipes by the all the video and pictures of the riot?  It is because they don’t want to.  That is why the Defense Ministry wants to prosecute the rioters themselves.  Normally I would be against military arrests and trials of civilians, but Korea has such an ineffective civilian court system, I am willing to make an exception in this case.  Someone has to stand up and defend the rights of the policemen and so far only the Defense Ministry is willing to take the measures necessary to do that.

I still find it amazing that the Korean President or anyone high up in the ruling government hasn’t addressed what is going on in Pyeongtaek yet.  You have all these injured policemen and the ruling government says nothing to dissuade the hate groups from continuing to attack the policemen?
