This is a really interesting read on Tibet's history to give some context.
Riot Attacks - You can't tell me that military forces aren't justified in this instance.
Also, respect ++ on the Dalai Lama
I am glad that the current Dalai Lama has said that his 'reincarnation' will be democratically chosen by the people, rather than having monks go out to 'see' the reincarnate. I've also learned that the Dalai Lama actually doesn't hold any real power. I mean, he can give suggestions to people, but they're not obligated to follow.
Now, there are still a couple more things I'm angry about.
1) People questioning legitimacy of China's Sovereignty of Tibet
- China annexed Tibet in a 'war' in 1949. Obviously they won, so what's the problem? What the heck is a legitimate sovereignty anyway when a conflict is involved? There will always be people bitching at the new government.
2) People using supporting the riots/protest because they dislike China.
- These are the ones who are automatically against China on this situation because they hate China. That's bullshit. They should take an effort to try to understand what is happening.

Obviously if you're not happy about being annexed you would revolt etc, It's not a matter if China won or not. Imagine how Taiwan would take being annexed, and they could actually put up a fight. (sort of)
Though the rising death toll of civilians is a bit unnerving. I don't see how killing store owners are helping the protest.
At least the military stopped killing the protestors.
