Police Remove Protesters to Allow Construction Convoy to Travel to THAAD Site

I have always said that the Korean police can remove these protesters any time they wanted, the ROK government just chooses not to until recently:

Residents and civic activists hold a protest against the planned ground transport of equipment onto a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery site in Seongju, North Gyeongsang Province, on Oct. 22, 2020, in this photo provided by a civic group.

The defense ministry on Thursday brought non-weapon materials and construction equipment onto a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) base in central South Korea after riot police dispersed protesters opposed to the deployment of the American anti-missile defense system.

The shipments transported into the base for the THAAD system in the central town of Seongju, about 300 kilometers southeast of Seoul, included daily necessities for base troops and construction equipment and materials to be used to improve their living facilities, according to the ministry.

Their transportation was completed after riot police dispersed about 70 Seongju residents and civic activists, who had occupied a small bridge leading to the THAAD base from early morning to block any vehicles from approaching the military facility.

The protesters tied themselves up into ladder-like structures installed on the bridge to resist the police and shouted various slogans against THAAD.

If the RoK government wanted to defend themselves from the Parasite Army, they could.

“Permanent” dye, like that used to vote in Afghanistan, could be used to mark the protestors. Various economic penalties could be applied

Simple. Especially in a nation that has done the abominations regarding sale of apartments.

The fact that they did not shows it’s a Potemkin Village-style protest.

Still, that’s what the electorate chose. So, it’s nothing to complain about.

The KNP walked up and “Hey commie moon pie says you gotta move for the day.” The response was “Sure. Make it look like your forcing us.”
