How will this spin?

Will LATOC start like this?
Meanwhile, villagers in the community of Dongzhou in the southern province of Guangdong said armed police were continuing to hold them at bay, four days after authorities allegedly opened fire on thousands of demonstrators protesting the amount of compensation being offered for land to be used in the construction of a wind power plant.
Watch in the next few days as this will either get spun as "China: The very worst in fascism" (by the right-wing wurlitzer) or "Time to head for the hills?" (by the die-off crowd) or, the rather highly unlikely, "I have no freaking idea what this means" (by me).

If Greenpeace somehow gets implicated as the bad guy in the altercation, I beg of you, please, just shoot me now. I would rate this as the projection to end all projections. Darn eco-nazis, trying to foment another Cultural Revolution. I just knew we couldn't trust them. Thank GOD, we didn't elect Gore.
