There has got to be an I Ching stanza that correctly correlates with this request from Chinese officials in Guizhou following massive riots there:
At around 4am yesterday morning, police used megaphones to urge people to leave the area, and local television stations broadcast notices asking people who participated in the protest to turn themselves in. [you can read the entire story here, though i'm sure it's being covered widely in intl press]
i'm thinking something along the lines of "The Thunder knows it cannot control the lightning/ Once released it follows its own path/ Wise fishermen know it is better to stay close to shore/ Fish recognize the currents long before they are seen as waves."
