When I first read Pajamas' story on the aftermath of Tuesday's brutal massacre in Dongzhou village, I thought for sure it contained a typo:

Word spread via several media sources that Chinese authorities were attempting to cover up the massacre of 20 demonstrators in South China by buying the bodies

Another villager whose relative, 31-year-old Wei Jin, was killed in the shooting, said local officials had offered the family hush money if they surrendered Wei’s body.

“They offered us a sum but said we would have to give up the body,” the villager said. “We are not going to agree.”

Update: Gateway Pundit has photos, and--shades of 1989--reports, "Tanks Move on China Town":

The situation at Dongzhou Town, Red Bay, in the city of Shanwei, Guangdong Province is rapidly deteriorating. According to the villagers, the government has not only arranged tanks to occupy the city, machine guns have also been set up, ready to strafe villagers on the street at anytime. Up to now, 70 people are known to have been shot to death. Most of the dead are young people in their twenties. The dead bodies were buried to destroy any evidence of the shootings. Families are not allowed to claim the bodies of their relatives.
