Guy may not have laid a finger on anyone, but he still terrorized local residents protesting Beijing

Frances Hui led a protest against government crackdowns in Hong Kong outside the State House on Aug. 18, 2019. On Twitter, she describes what happened that day and after due to the organizing efforts of Litang Liang, who was arrested today on charges of being an illegal Chinese agent.

Prior to the rally, there were discussions among Chinese WeChat groups abt bringing firearms to shoot my face & wooden sticks to beat up protesters.

Despite the obvious safety risks, the community was resilient & hoped to go on. The pro-Beijing protesters were there even before I arrived. The confrontation was intense. While I was speaking, they tried to cover me & other activists w/ PRC flags that Liang was passing out.

And then, she continues:

The car tire of one of our volunteers was punctured. A man in red raided our posters & pushed our volunteers. He then followed me to my home in an attempt to intimidate me. Police intervened but they didn't arrest him because it's not a "repetitive behavior."

And it didn't stop there, she write, adding she is upset it took four years for Liang to get arrested, in part because nobody took her and other protesters seriously, in fact, they were sometimes accused of being racist.

Chinese simps for their state are just as odious as American flag-humpers.

Maybe we have world equality after all.

Also, this:

Police intervened but they didn't arrest him because it's not a "repetitive behavior."

So, what happens when this (expletive) mows the lady down with his second strike? There's literally no point to having a police department if you can't, at a bare-ass minimum, get the jerkoff's prints and mugshot.

...that agents of a foreign government are harassing Americans for freely expressing their views on U.S. soil?

That's a violation of our country's sovereignty. At the very least, it depands a strong objection from Washington and perhaps the expulsion of some Chinese diplomats.
