I've banned so many fools over the years.
But really, what I do now is fail and laugh. You have to admit, guys like CIC, gulululemon, timpo, Renn Sport, et al are great entertainment.

Add to that how much I miss guys like multicartual, r1cksta, Chuck Norris, JONNY TRAN, and others, I don't want to do something drastic while emotional, and regret it one day.

[Traum]

What else would you expect to happen? The outcome of the lawsuit all depends on how much political backing the mother has, who has the political upperhand at the moment in the ever-present CCP political in-fighting. It absolutely has nothing to do with whether or how much the mother has conducted any corruption activities.

The court proceedings will be a pure show -- everything will already be pre-arranged and the outcome pre-determined prior to the actual court case. It doesn't matter if the amount involved is 1.7T or 1.7k -- the evidence may or may not be presented in court, and the whole court proceedings will be done and over in an hour when it actually takes place.

But even if the mom is given a guilty verdict, it doesn't mean her future is over. Just as the melamine-tained baby formula case turned out, a big shot in the food regulation bureau was convicted and demoted. Give him a bit of time to cool off, and the incident to die down, and he got himself promoted back to some other food safety agency VP position. So if the mom still has any political value of use, she will be back in some sort of official / CCP capacity.

There are still a few original members kicking around, like death blossom and iron chef that came to RS at that time.

Isn't that the nature of RS though?
It goes through awesome periods, and shitty ones. There are times when I come here and joyfully post in 20 threads. There are other times where I skim through OPs and see nothing that interests me. Truth is, these clown members are entertainment. Ever been on a site where everyone gets along and agrees with each other?

Chinese corruption prosecutors seek death penalty for mother of Wanting Qu, pop star girlfriend of Vancouver?s mayor | South China Morning Post (http://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/1995249/chinese-corruption-prosecutors-seek-death-penalty)

[corollagtSr5]

Mother of Wanting Qu, Gregor Robertson's girlfriend, arrested in China - British Columbia - CBC News (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/mother-of-wanting-qu-gregor-robertson-s-girlfriend-arrested-in-china-1.3048133)

http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/mayor-robertsons-girlfriend-wanting-qu-dedicates-song-to-her-imprisoned-mother

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/mother-of-vancouver-mayor-gregor-robertson-s-girlfriend-wanting-qu-faces-execution-1.3696400

The mother of Vancouver Chinese pop star Wanting Qu could be sentenced to death on charges of embezzlement, bribery and abuse of power according to a report in China's state-controlled press.

Wanting Qu is the girlfriend of Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson.

Zhang Mingjie, 60, has been under arrest, and in custody, for almost two years. She disappeared from her home in Harbin, China, in September 2014.

It took months for her daughter to realize Zhang had been rounded up by police, and held in custody.

In April of last year, Mayor Robertson confirmed his girlfriend's mother had been arrested on corruption charges.

Zhang is a former deputy director of the Harbin development and reform commission in northeast China.

Now, according to reports on the Xinhua News Agency and China Daily websites, Zhang's trial was held July 19 and 20 in Harbin City.

China Daily says Zhang is "charged with three counts of corruption and abuse of power" in an alleged "land swindle" involving up to 350 million yuan — just over $69 million Cdn.

The report also says "the prosecution recommended that Zhang Mingjie (be) sentenced to death."

The South China Morning Post reports the charges arose out of a complex real estate scam, involving the transfer of a state-controlled farm to a private agricultural firm in 2009.

The Hong Kong based news outlet says Zhang— the city official in charge of the deal— secretly conspired to doctor the terms of the sale.

Land rights were transferred to a real estate company to build a massive housing project.

Hundreds of workers on the farm were allegedly given tiny severance packages and "left to suffer in appalling conditions".


Zhang Mingjie, 60, was a high-ranking civic official in the northeast Chinese city of Harbin (Facebook)

The Xinhua news agency claims that Zhang and several co-accused confessed, but that their defence lawyers told the court the confessions "had been taken using illegal methods so they should be excluded."

Not guilty pleas were entered.

Vancouver-based South China Morning Post correspondent, Ian Young, who has been closely following the case, says the charges are extremely serious— but the nature of coverage in the state-controlled press indicates China realizes Zhang's prosecution is being carefully watched because of her connection to pop star Wanting Qu and Mayor Robertson.

"The death penalty for a corruption case of this magnitude isn't rare" said Young, "but the extent that Xinhua, the state news agency, went to publicly document both sides of the case, including the defence suggestion of an illegal confession, shows it is aware the case is being closely scrutinized."


Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson first revealed in April 2015 that his girlfriend's mother had been arrested in China. He has remained silent on reports Zhang Mingjie could now face the death penalty. (CBC News)

Neither Qu nor Robertson responded to requests from CBC News for a comment.

But the mayor's communications strategist, Sarah Zaharia, says "there's nothing new" in the press reports, and "there's not too much to comment on." She says they're waiting for more information.

On Wanting Qu's Facebook page, one of her most recent posts states "Woke up sobbing. She died in my dream. So real...My reality in the last 653 days been a never-ending nightmare."

Why do you think the daughter was given the task to woo him? Classic Chinese tactics

I thought her name was Qu, not Woo. :troll:

Anyway, why all the attention to this? IF she is found guilty, she gets what's coming to her. I'm pretty sure she knew what the consequences were.

Corruption fueled by greed. Out of curiosity, did she ever give back to the community? Not that any organization would want dirty money. Money like that affects everybody one way or another. I hate dishonest people.

You can be a racist, a dumb prick, even, but don't be a person who takes advantage of others. Work hard and honestly for your money. Think of others not yourself.
