They're badass all right - just fail at style. If they ever get trouble with American gangsters, they just show up like this, wait till the Americans are rolling with laughter, and then slaughter the lot.
I'm living in China now, and I can confirm that the last two pictures, while probably posted for sarcasm, are actually fairly accurate. My girlfriend doesn't get involved with this stuff, but she has friends/relatives that can hook you up with anything.
These gangster guys are pretty cool, though. As long as you don't intentionally piss them off, they can be a blast. I'll see a group of them occasionally when I go to clubs. If you ask one if he's got a lighter for a smoke you'll end up hanging out with them the entire night. You may not be able to understand each other, but you'll end up massively drunk and have a lot of fun.
So the chinese have strict laws on sexual content and behavior but when it comes to gangs, violence, and murder... "as long as they aren't naked". )-.-(
maybe...:
1) they gave all their shirts to those who needed them most
2) they got guns to help the neighborhood, fend off REAL gangsters
3) the money they have is for the poor and those who live in poverty.
4) they bought all those ice teas to promote anti-drink and drive.
5) they shave their heads to give them all to those who have cancer.
I'm happy that those Triads are getting their ass-kicked by comrade commissar in Shenzhen at least...
They terrorized the people for far too long. Now they are getting their heads blown off by 7.62x39mm Full Metal Jacket. Feels good man.
Also, the last pictures are not soldiers but riot-police in Xingjiang, Urumuchi. Separating Uighurs and Han from killing each other. These guys are well disciplined and pretty chill. No way that these 'gangsters' are them in disguise.
But, to be fair, the corruption there is sure intense. These gangsters have old military-issue rifles and submachine-Guns. Wonder which General these guys bribed to get this stuff.
I was expecting more of you to actually grasp the subtle implication of including China's notoriously brutal and corrupt police at the end of a parade of gangsters. Do I really have to spell it out with a dry observation every time?
The one thing I learned is that even if what one says is false or grossly over exaggerated, if it is repeated enough times, people will still believe it.
Western societies as a whole are still in their 20th century mindsets when thinking about China's government and state, when in fact they've progressed a long way since then.
How many credible first hand accounts have you actually come across that maintains that China is still a brutal slave driving dictatorship?
I suppose everyone needs to find a target of hate somewhere.
And Artefact, you might feel that the comparison in the post is self evident; however judging from the majority of the responses and misinterpretations, this does not appear to be the case.
You can't ignore the fact that the CCP is acting like the gangster boss, supporting cruel dictator governments around the world by shielding them from global action and saying "These are domestic problems" and supplying them with China weapons to subdue the folks of their wrecked nations. And of course these cunning communists expect to rip off resources from the dictator countries they're supporting which are forsaken by the rest of the world.
And face it, the whole damn world other than most of you Chinese hates the China government, not just Artefact. While the governments try to show friendly fronts to get whatever economic benefits they can out of the bilateral relations, the citizens don't like China one bit.
I always have a good laugh at those who put up futile and often vulgar arguments to defend against critical comments by the rest world that insult China's Greatness. And I am pretty sure these folks can do that only because they have no idea about being in the shoes of those who were negatively affected by China's actions. To me, these kind of people are like leashed dogs which would loyally bite for their master as long as they get three good meals a day. Whatever their master is doing to others and those of their kind which are disobedient don't matter to them at all. Yeah, when you think about it, that's how gangsters are too. That being said, no offense ^^
I would have atleast thought that badass gangsters could afford more women and some shirts. This just looks like one big sausagefest.
Why are they always posing in underwear?
They probably can't afford clothing.
You call than an arsenal? pfft
Ahh, that money. I doub't it is enough to get yourself a pack of chewinggum over here :P
are you mentally retarded? do you know what an exchange rate is?
looks like what you'd find in Cali pretty much.
Money+Guns>Clothing+hair
the army needs height regulation lol
Actually the shorter you are the better in a firefight.
ryu kazuya could kick there ass lols

The old mafia on Chicago had much more style but I still think this guys are having a good life.
Throw a bunch o pics together and people will take the most random conclusions...
I always thought than the triad guys were badass.
Man... how wrong i was.
They're badass all right - just fail at style. If they ever get trouble with American gangsters, they just show up like this, wait till the Americans are rolling with laughter, and then slaughter the lot.
Bahahaha that made my day.
This is from their facebook right?
Whaaat? where are the guys in top hats, suits and axes?
They were all annihilated by Stephen Chow in Kung Fu Hustle. They do not wear the top hats though.

I don't see any of this is much of a big deal, unless they are marching toward my country.

Artfact just failed again at China-Bashing.
"Artfact just failed again at China-Bashing."
truth. the new one doesn't even try anymore.
lame as hell.
But, to be fair, the corruption there is sure intense. These gangsters have old military-issue rifles and submachine-Guns. Wonder which General these guys bribed to get this stuff.

nice story bro. thats why you just failed at China-Bashing again.
These riot-police officers are specially selected, and totally loyal communist officials. these 'gangsters' arent.
The guns and the drugs on the table are a giveaway, since both will earn you instand death sentence in China.
Subtle Implications my ass.
What's wrong is just wrong. period.

The CCP is a gangster organisation, its loyal minions are thus nothing more than hoodlums themselves.
and of course, the rest of the world are just innocent and pure.

i don't see them doing anythign bad except being half naked and playing with the money @@"
how do we even know if the guns are real @@"
they aren't blowing heads off @@"
the tattoos could be even temp!
find a thread thread that u posted b4 that is chinese related that doesn't have any content that degrades chinese ppl.
btw, i'm not saying this thread is fake too. i know there are corruption in China. but there are also more in other Countries. *Cough Nroth Korea.
it just seems to me EVERYTIME a thread is about China, it's something bad.
why not post about stuff like other countries stealing chinese heritage?
- gun powder?
- moon festival and rice cake?
- clocks?
heck, u can talk about the 100% pure wooden bridge made out of nothing but wooden peices jigsawed together.
there are more to Chinese than some petty gangsters and girls willing to strip naked for making a living.
remember, they only make up so much of a few hundredth of a percent of the population.
don't post stuff that will make people stereotype the chinese population
