Kickass Kyrgyz

Sweet merciful glaven! Look at this!

BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan — About 200 people, some throwing stones, broke into Kyrgyzstan's Supreme Court on Wednesday and evicted activists who had occupied the building for more than a month in a protest on behalf of five losing parliamentary candidates.

Police reported scuffles between the two groups, and a woman who was ejected from the building said two of her fellow activists received head injuries. The court building had broken windows and few bottles of flammable liquid littering its grounds.

This one's pretty interesting. It's not often that you see one group of "activists" evicting another group of "activists" who have been squatting somewhere in protest.

Is there more to the story? Yeah, probably.
