Chinese citizen journalist beaten to death by city inspectors for taking pictures

When Wie Wenhau, a 41-year-old construction company executive, took out his camera phone to record a "scuffle" between residents trying to stop city trucks from dumping trash in their neighbor, he must not have realized it would cost him his life.  Reports say that a crowd of between 25 and 100 city workers turned on Wie, beating him to death.

Someone told me that you photographed the Native American drumming that happened at the SOU campus on Weds. Do you have a seperate blog with those pictures?

To me this is just another example of luxuries taken for granted in the u.s.
