Picture of the Day: THAAD Protesters In Front of US Embassy
Residents from the southeastern town of Seongju and nearby Gimcheon rally in front of the U.S. Embassy in Seoul on May 8, 2017, to urge the U.S. Army to stop introducing equipment for the deployment of an advanced U.S. missile defense system to a former golf course in Seongju. They were blocked from presenting a basket of melons (front) to the embassy, as quality melons are a specialty produced in Seongju. In April, U.S. troops began deploying the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense near the town, about 300 kilometers southeast of Seoul. (Yonhap)
Quality melons you say? I had some quality melons once down in Daejon but I don’t think we’re talking about the same thing… 😈
Whoa! Those are some hard hitting signs they’re holding up there.
Sign on left: “There are people living in Sosung-ri.”
Sign on right: “Melons are peace. Plums are peace. Grapes are peace.”
At least we know they probably wrote the signs themselves … because no self-respecting anti-American activist in Korea would write a sign like that.
Time for the United States to leave and let Kim Jong Un to deploy his weapons to South Korea, it seems that is what some South Koreans want.
