The crowd turned their anger on the Ajikura restaurant Saturday afternoon after they approached it on the route taken by some 10,000 anti-Japanese protestors who marched through major streets to the Japanese consulate.
They smashed all the windows, broke into the restaurant, which was closed, and ransacked the two-story building, located in central Shanghai. snip
Only one police officer was at the scene at the time. He timidly said “Alright, alright, That’s enough,” but did not try to stop the crowd.
