Since the guy who shot him conceded that he was going to shoot the municipal councilor candidate(who happen to look where much like Lien) instead of Lien. He also seems to have been a gangster + drug addict, & might just be insensible at the time. Or he might be induced to do so as a result of gambling.Rustnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-58960577934073700472010-11-27T05:10:24.205+08:002010-11-27T05:10:24.205+08:00Ma will soon put the fault on DPP, I guess : "...Ma will soon put the fault on DPP, I guess : "Taiwan is a democracy.

Although that idea is one possibility, its an extreme one. I think the LOL was a knowing chuckle at the suggestion, as MT is more than aware of how this incident will quickly be interpreted by people in multiple ways, especially given the timing. However as MT said to me 'we don't know the facts so no theorising'. <br /><br />I don't think it was brevity at the fact of the incident or the tragic nature of it given that a person has lost their life tonight.Ben Gorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215358295386075741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-43813822811103057422010-11-26T22:51:50.575+08:002010-11-26T22:51:50.575+08:00What's with the LOL?
