The moment an arrest warrant was issued for President Yoon Suk-yeol, his supporters gathered in front of the Seoul Western District Court and were enraged. Those gathered at the back gate of the court clashed with the police.
[Hey, you XXXs. Open the door! Hey, you public security XXs!]
Curses, loud voices, and violence are rampant.
A police officer was also seen being helped out with blood streaming down his face.
Between the 18th and the early hours of the 19th, 42 police officers were injured.
Among them, seven sustained serious injuries requiring more than three weeks of treatment.
One officer had to get 10 stitches on his head.
There were also cases of knee fractures and ligament strains.
Many hands were injured while blocking and suppressing.
Four stitches on the right hand, a broken middle finger, and a ruptured ligament in the little finger.
All the seriously injured were young police officers in their late 20s to early 30s, from constables to lieutenants.
The supporters of President Yoon, who caused the riot, swung iron pipes and threw bricks at them.
Ninety supporters were arrested inside and outside the Western District Court over the two days.
Our citizens, who have always shown great leadership in the democratization movement.
However, to the self-proclaimed conservative anti-democratic insurgents,
they only appear as typical far-right extremists from underdeveloped countries.
I think I understand why politics is often criticized as being third-rate or fourth-rate.
Dealing with such people naturally turns the fight into a mudslinging match.
Those who link these people with the opposition party and promote the theory of equivalence should come out and apologize now.
