Hi BubbaFred,

I have no idea of what the truth is regarding that photograph, but I had heard that the picture in question was taken prior to Chen's being shot. I don't know how much "prior" to the shooting incident though; for example it was taken earlier on the same day, or it's merely a file photo...

""On the other hand, I am not certain of the KMT opposition's intention.""

Pan-Blue alliance wants to have vote recounted "right away".

Mr. Chen just agreed to do recount "right away".

LOL, the Taiwan Defense minister has asked for resign
hkcd.com.hk

And I read somewhere that their head of national security bureau also asks for resign, as well as the head of Chen's security team, don't know it is true or not.

As many as 200,000 Guomingdang supporters have demonstrated during the last 48 hrs. And there are quite a few other large-scale demonstrations across Taiwan.

200,000 Taiwanese policemen have to be on duty because of that chen's shooting incidence, thus they missed the voting opportunity. And majority of them are Guomingdang suppporters. Maybe this is the real reason behind the shooting?<g>

Look at this mess! Luckily, this is Taiwan with only 20 million population. If Mainland adopted this type of so-called "democracy", that would be a disaster! although maybe US's dream would come true<g>

Now there are 300 lawyers doing investigation on election fraud in Taiwan, and it is estimated as many as 25% of 13,000 ballot stations have had some type of irregularity. LOL. What a perfect democracy!

Three days have passed since the shooting of Chen, Taiwan police still have no clue on the shooting, with 10+ dif. versions of reporting. Even Lian himself started to suspect the shooting has been played out by Chen himself. LOL
