Korea Farmers Riot oover US Trade Pact

A South Korean Protester throws a plastic water container at police during a rally in Seoul yesterday. Police estimated there were 20k demonstrators (farmers) at a rally yesterday against a free-trade agreemnet with the US. Police fired water cannons and fire extinguishers at them.

Comment: The passsage of the FTA will deepen the polarization of their society. I am sure there will be other kinds of agricultural produce that will pour into the country.
