probably three rioters were dead since so far the government maintain the claim of 16 dead but the government only listed 13 as innocent victims.
as i said before, obviously the government wasn't well prepared. they didn't even think such event would happen in 四川阿壩地區. looked like there is no riot police in that area at all.
happened during the meeting of national congress, wow, that was well orchestrated and well coordinated.
