    Sad. Race riots are known the world over. I remember being in college during the LA Rodney King race riots in 1992. Korean merchants were outside their homes and businesses heavily armed with assault rifles, shotguns, and pistols. Firefights were frequent. The police were too spread out to offer any meaningful protection.

    I think the NRA had a field day during this time.

    Urumqi’s mayor, Jierla Yishamuding,

    Well, this article could certainly be a bit less pro-Han-biased.

    "Jierla Yishamuning" is a Mandarin/Pinyin reworking of the man's real name, which is the much more Turkic-sounding Jerla Isamudin.

    Call him by his proper name, not a bastardization of it.
