My Comment: Knowing what they did about the Chinese Communist Party and its history of atrocities, the adherents to Falun Gong still chose to quietly stand up for truth, justice and mercy. This was rather like what Gandhi’s followers did — only the Chinese peaceful protesters weren’t dealing with a civilized government. The brutal suppression of Tibet had already demonstrated Communist China’s ill will towards their fellow mankind, rather like Russia’s bellicosity. And, now, America has elected a would be tyrant who nakedly admires brutal strongmen and ogres.
