What a shocker. Just imagine all the stories like this you DON'T hear or read. Typical attitude of 'not my problem' that really irritates me in this country. Just like the guy who came to fix my freezer. He came during the daytime when I was out working and all the frozen food went bad. Not only that but he moved ... Full Comment>>

Let me get this straight. The shocked driver called the police. The shocked police called the SWAT. The dumbfounded SWAT decided to shoot it.

The Great Wall is crowded enough as it is, and with those narrow stairs it should be common sense to be careful if one has a sense of self preservation.
