This is obviously a deputy to the National People’s Congress. There isn’t even a single stretched Lincoln limousine, Taiwanese people are so unfashionable.

腾讯网友:

The biggest gangster is the government.

腾讯自贡市网友:

What is good~~~what is evil~~~
I feel this kind of person have the support of the people more than certain or even the majority of government officials.

腾讯南宁市网友:

When our village head passed away, the scene was far more magnificent than this…

腾讯莆田市网友:

Black and white [evil and good], is something people decide, what is white and what is black, to judge a person China has an old saying: Don’t pass judgment until the end.
A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, every profession has its leaders.
The winner becomes king and the loser the invader [winners write history].
Don’t go judging the dead, as big brother is also a person, and all people are the same. Everyone asks why is there black society [organized crime], but clearly there is a reason for their existence. A business.
Big brother, rest in peace!

腾讯上海市网友:

You think there are some good people in Taiwan’s criminal gangs? How many people in these gangs aren’t supporters of Taiwanese independence~? When the day comes that the People’s Liberation Army goes over, those stabbing the People’s Liberation army in the backs will definitely be the island’s gangsters, and at that time, the first organizations to be destroyed by the People’s Liberation Army will definitely be this bunch of dark and swarthy bastards.

腾讯郑州市网友:

What is this promoting? Black and white? Evil and good? Ugly and beauty? Can the news reporters please stop “educating” the next generation like this! Cupware

腾讯网友:

All of you little hooligans/thugs in society right now, take a good look: This is your example. If you’re going to be a gangster, then at least achieve something. If you can get to this level, I will respect you. But if you are a gangster that only know how to bully women and children, then I think sooner or later you will go back to the countryside and be a farmer!

腾讯山东省网友:

Look at how low key Taiwanese little brothers are, their hairstyles not as wild as mainland students.

腾讯邯郸市网友:

Garbage, the mainland would never allow this kind of scene to happen.

腾讯江苏省网友:

By 2012, everyone will die.

    “… who died last month of liver can­cer will have a funeral pro­ces­sion on the 26th …”

    Hmm, they waited quite long before making the funeral…

    • real name

      probably it was necessary have that Hummers full of fuel first
      it could be a shame leave them at half way

  • Chinese Netizen

    Nothing compared to the Shanxi coal mine owner children’s wedding procession.

    And as far as mafias go, I think if the PLA ever invaded Taiwan, they would immediately go over, join the triads and co-exist together happily ever after

    • Brother River Crab

      Why wait for the PLA? Where do you think the Taiwanese gangsters get their meth and guns from?

  • shengguo

    好大的排场!大哥一定觉得特别有面子!

  • Regina

    What kind of crime was he involved in? I’m surprised the government even allowed this to happen.

  • Chris

    Am I missing something here? What sort of crime are these people in that would attract so much respect? I mean I know they have brawls in Taiwanese parliament, but is it so bad that the people have resorted to criminal organizations assuming de-facto power in order to keep order?

  • 练练英语

    If that happened in mainland,we call it “mass incident(群体性事件)”.

    Yeah, right. If this guy even knew a little bit about Taiwanese gangs he would know that the links between the pro-reunification KMT and the Bamboo Union are strong, hell, Ma Yingjiu has attended the wedding’s of gang members, and Jason Hu himself attended the above funeral.

    Taiwan gangsters pro-independence? Give me a break.

    • Joe

      Technically the founding of the KMT itself is closely tied to the triads and secret societies (Tongmenghui), not to mention Chiang was practically a gangster in his early days, so yeah pretty much speaks for itself.

  • MadeInChinaSMACK!

    everyone lining up for their bimmer rides. only to be punked & have their asses walkin. lol

  • Panda

    From another website:
    “Taichung Mayor Jason Hu (胡志強) was among the mourners, saying his attendance was a sign of gratitude after Lee left NT$60 million (US$2 million) for charities in his will. “I felt I had to come to express my thanks,” Hu told reporters. “When the man left this world, he used this way to show his concern for society.”

    Hmm… I wonder what charities…

    • Jane Lin

      yes, mr. Hu just want the money, in Twaiwan, all money are good, no evil money at all

  • Hongjian

    FUCKING HELL?

    Those shitstains should be Nanjing’d, burned and buried alive like the animals they are, while being broadcast live on TV to state an example for all criminals.

    I dont care what he ‘did good’ to the people there. Organized Crime is the scum of the entire humanity.
    Fucking shit, I soo hope that the PLA invades and errect a batshit insane stalinist/maoist dictatorship – in a totalitarian dictatorship, there’s only one legal criminal: The dictator himself. Which is good.

    This also should apply to the numerous south american countries who are suffering under drug-lords and other criminal organisations – proclaim state of war, end the rule of law, shit on their human rights and fucking kill them all including their families and even their dogs! This is the only way to get rid of the scource of open societies.

    • GodsHammer

      The only difference is that the CCP gangsters are much more controlling, kill many more people, and do it all under one flag.
      Hongjian…relax…go collect your 50cents and buy a lollipop.

      • Hongjian

        The differnce is; the CCP gangsters own the whole country and jealously makes sure that noone else can have it. As long as everything is under one flag, i’m consent with it.

        hence i said; in a totalitarian dictatorship, there’s only one legal criminal: The dictator himself. Which is good. – since he holds everything together.

        thx. I received my 50 mao. but inflation drove the market-price of a lollipop quite high.

        • GodsHammer

          So we’ll have to agree to disagree.

  • lang

    i think hes the leader of that taiwan san luen gang from young and dangerous

  • @@

    as a wise man name Frank Lucas would say:

    taiwan is so similar to japan in so many ways. even their gangsters look alike lol. There are so many japanese influence in taiwanese music, language, culture and politics.

    I think this guy has it all wrong. Gangsters in Taiwan will be the first waiting to ketou to the CCP, and waiting for their official registration into the Party as “businessmen”. Since most of these kinds of groups were founded on the mainland and fled with Old Man Jiang many of them have been waiting for a chance to sell out their new “country” now that the Communists won’t take away their money and power. They will then join the PLA in harvesting organs from all the Taiwan “rebels” and selling them to rich scum in other countries.
