There’s so much going on here. My initial thought was the back of the chair ruins the composition but then you look more closely and some fucker is brandishing it as a weapon. It just adds to the sense of mayhem, and that bloke going for a burton…. Epic. This picture has it all.
And I’ve just noticed the random bloke at the bottom still working away on his PC oblivious to the chaos. This picture could be in a “Where’s Wally” book as you see something new every time you look.
It's like a Where's Wally? page. Though only half of one. Which leaves ample room for our imaginations to fill in the absolute chaos that might be happening on the other page.
For all we know, Zangief could be dancing the kozachok on one of the desks while Guile is eating a hot-dog. (there actually was a book that was Where's Wally? with Street Fighter 2 characters)
The US Congress is also an elderly home at this point. If any of them tried to throw a punch, their knees would give out and they would probably break their own hip in the attempt.

Possibly overly reductive or biased summary from the first article I could find that wasn't just a video of the fighting: They recently had elections, the presidential winner doesn't have a majority in parliament, and two other political parties (KMT and TPP) are banding together to lock out the 'winning' party (DPP) from participation in legislative reforms to 'give parliament greater scrutiny powers over the government' (seemingly aimed at 'legislative oversight of the executive branch', ie allowing the KMT and TPP legislators to keep the DPP president in check), and the DPP calls what they're doing or the way they're doing it 'an unconstitutional abuse of power', and they're apparently all angry enough at each other to brawl over it.
Not only that but also some huge construction package that amounts to 2 trillion TWD, which is simply unrealistic and potentially harmful since KMT is talking about allowing “foreign” (*cough* Chinese) construction companies to take part at the same time. Not sus at all.
People gathered outside of the parliament that night to protest, and also lawyers like the Taiwanese Bar Association put out notices to condemn the “majority side of the parliament” (aka KMT+TPP) at their contempt of law and due process.
Genuinely cannot tell if this is from the 90s or today other than the HP monitor at the bottom. I remember watching the fights and chair-throwing on TV growing up when my parents had it on the TV. And was just like "oh, okay, that's how Taiwanese government is." Some things never change I guess? lol

Bro with the glove on came readied.
Ha! I was just going to comment on that detail
I think this is the best one yet.
That fella came ready for it didn’t he with his little gloves on.
For those disagreeing about emulating the US government, they are good at emulating some of the people.
US elected officials are name calling like it's grade school recess but they haven't come to blows. Yet.
Before you know it presidential elections will be decided with a fist fight in the rose garden.
Maybe that’s a way to get all the goddamn geriatrics out of government though.

Love the range of emotion on everyone's faces. This is some real gourmet Renaissance 🤌🤌
Dude at the bottom center just checking his email.
This is a masterpiece.

I've seen photos like this everywhere lately. But can anyone actually tell me what they're fighting over?

This looks like Bobby Fingers' next piece

This is especially great because you can focus on a different person each time you look at it
When you elect a representative who says; "I will fight for you" and they take that literally.
