It started before 3 p.m. when a Toyota sedan grazed a middle school student crossing the street and the teen and the driver quarreled. A few men emerged from the car and set on the student, a local store manager surnamed Wu who saw the clash told Reuters by telephone. The men were taken to a police station and a crowd that had been watching the fight swarmed around the building, Wu said, demanding that the men be handed over to them as their numbers swelled by the minute.

Some among the growing mob focused their anger on the men's Toyota, smashing it, flipping it over and torching it, Wu said. "The fire fighters drove up, but when they saw what was going on, they fled," the store manager said. Armed police tried to quell the disturbance but were driven back by a hail of rocks and lit firecrackers, he said. The local Chizhou Daily newspaper reported six policemen were injured by stones, news Web site www.sina.com.cn said.

"The crowd also attacked reporters, one of whom was burned by a firecracker, and they grabbed cameras out of the hands of anyon taking pictures," Wu said.

This rare report is showing that it must have been pretty obvious to the citizens of the area and the government could not silence what happened. This disturbance is pretty troubling. Any country having politcal turmoil should make one nervous, but China? First of all a nuclear power and secondly an ally in our negotiations with DNK. I think more will come out of this, and that is what worries me the most.
