BEIJING (AP) — A car carrying the U.S. ambassador to China was mildly damaged after becoming the target of boisterous anti-Japan demonstrators who were expressing outrage over a territorial dispute and marking the 81st anniversary of Japan's invasion of China.
The State Department said in a statement Wednesday that Ambassador Gary Locke was unhurt in Tuesday's incident, and that diplomats have expressed concerns to the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

I live in Washington state, I remember him well. LOL... even the libs didn’t want him.... thank God.
One of his former security officers on the Washington State Patrol was murdered after stopping an illegal Mexican. Perp nailed the Officer as he got out of his patrol car. Now serving life. Locke and the A G at the time, Gregoire (now Govenor) didn’t want to spent the money to go for capital punishment. We paid for 2 Mexican lawyers to observe the trial to make sure it was “fair”.
Officer didn’t get a warning as Clinton had pulled the 2 INS cops for our area to the Mexico border for a Reno dog and pony show of force.
What would happen if - God forbid - something would happen to the ambassador ?
Sickening.
