Chinese man hides

Criminal hid in tunnel for 17 years

A wanted criminal hid for 17 years in a tunnel he dug underneath his home in China.

Police in Zhangxu village, Suinan town, China, finally flushed Hui Guangwen out of his secret tunnel after a tip-off.

"We got information that he was hiding in his home, so we made a surprise search and found the tunnel," said a police spokesman.

Hui was at large for 17 years after killing someone from a neighbouring village over a minor disagreement.

Hui confessed that he never went anywhere in all of that time other than the tunnel which he and his wife dug.

"It was really boring there," he said.

Facing jail with Hui is his wife, who is charged with conspiracy for helping him hide, reports People's Daily.

I dunno, I think living in a hand dug tunnel under your house for 17 years is pretty good punishment already.

[Pugnate]

So is living in a Chinese village.

[WindAndConfusion]

I bet he had a really bad tan.

"It was really boring there," he said.

hahaha....

[Quemaqua]

"It was really boring there," he said.

It doesn't sound like he was that unhappy to be found, unless the next thing he said was "But it sure beats being tortured and executed by a bunch of corrupt Chinese policemen."  But man... 17 years in a tunnel?  I hope they had board games or something.

Maybe the wife was really good to him.

I can't criticize the Chinese for putting her in jail too.  We do the same thing here.  I have a big problem with jailing relatives for doing what they will always do, or always should do, for their family.

[Pugnate]

Well he did commit murder. Being a relative shouldn't be justification to hide a murderer.

You don't subscribe to the "blood is thicker than water" philosophy?  I do, completely.

[Xessive]

I'm all for protecting family but there is a balance. I'd die to protect any member of my family, and sometimes that means protecting them from themselves.

[Pugnate]

You don't subscribe to the "blood is thicker than water" philosophy?  I do, completely.

I would probably do the same, but accept the consequences of my actions.

Let's just hope the situation never arises

He probably could've just walked around after two years. I mean, I'm sure his wanted poster looked like everyone else in China.

[Ghandi]

Yeah, it's funny how all Chinese people look alike. And all black people. And Mexicans. And Arabs. And...pretty much everyone but white people.

Oh, now you're just being racist.

[Ghandi]

Shut up blackie.

[nickclone]

Shut up blackie.

I believe the correct term is "Blackey".

[Ghandi]

I believe you are wrong. Also, I like to dot the i with a heart. It adds a little something special.

Well, I take solace in knowing that you "love blackies".

[Ghandi]

Actually, I "heart" blackies. And I'm glad that you have started spelling the word correctly. Knowledge is power.

[nickclone]

Technically, if you're spelling it right its not supposed to be offensive. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it ghandi.

[Ghandi]

Well, the thing is, I'm actively trying to be offensive.

[nickclone]

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll reach your full potential sooner or later.

[Ghandi]

It's tougher than you think. In this day and age, derogatory racial statements are not all that prevalent. I have few role models.

Come my friend! There is no need to hold back, my black skin is thicker than you think. You've left me in anticipation, how about you hit me with your favorite, racist black joke? I swear to Buddha, I won't hold it against you. Hell, if its funny you might even find that I have a sense of humor.

Its not like I can say a racist joke back, seeing as how I have no idea what race you are.

[Ghandi]

Don't you see? There's no more room for jokes. The entire act is a farce.

And, just so you know, I'm white. Caucasian. Whatever. I'm 3/5 German, 1/4 English, 1/8 Irish, and a mix of other things, including part Native American.

Really? I'm part Native American as well, maybe our great ancestors smoke the peace pipe and crawled into each other's tents. Also, I don't mean to burst the racial bubble that you think makes you special, German, English and Irish isn't a race. Techinically you're telling me that you're white, white and white. I'm black and Native American (The black foot tribe), I don't have exact percents like you do.

[Ghandi]

You're right. Being Irish is more of a lifestyle.

*pours another drink*

Haha, maybe I'm part Irish as well.

*pours another drink*

[Ghandi]

Somewhere around 80% of people in America think that they have Irish ancestry, while in reality a much smaller percentage actually do. I'm too lazy to look for the actual numbers, but it's pretty funny.

[nickclone]

If I don't have an Irish ancestry, than I won't have an acceptable back story explaining my reason for alcoholism.

[angrykeebler]

GOD I HATE YOU MICKS

[Ghandi]

Yeah? Well at least JESUS IS ON OUR SIDE.
