Violence Erupts In Papua New Guinea

From the Daily Mail: "Papua New Guinea declares state of emergency after at least 15 people are killed in horror wave of riots as shops and buildings are set ablaze." The cause? Disgruntled government workers.

    Violence erupted in Port Moresby on Wednesday evening after a group of soldiers, police officers and prison guards launched protests over unexplained deductions to their pay.

    Within hours the unrest had also spread to the city of Lae, about 300kilometres north of the capital.

I can't wait to see what happens when public pension funds collapse in the United States.
