Eric's Beijing Diary

In #HongKong the cause for freedom has never been greater. The escalating tensions & violence we've seen from the police force in response to peaceful protests is shameful. The truth will not be silenced. I support those speaking out against tyranny & fighting for freedom. pic.twitter.com/qaiEl05lPp

Dear Senator Cruz,

Digging up bricks from the street, destroying punblic property is peaceful?

Spray painting public art pieces is peaceful?

Desecrating national heritage sites is peaceful?

Verbal abuse of police by demonstrators is peaceful?

Throwing bricks at police officers is peaceful?

Throwing Molotov cocktails at police is peaceful?

Starting fires and shooting arrows at police is peaceful?

Vandalizing the Legislative Council (the congress of Hong Kong) after the bill they were protesting had already been suspended is peaceful?

Joshua Wong the next day tweeting "I'm proud of what they did last night" is peaceful?

Vandalizing places of business is peaceful?

Throwing petrol on someone and setting him on fire because he disagrees with what the the protesters are doing is peaceful?

Beating up an unarmed man because they suspect him of agreeing with China is peaceful?

Setting up barricades to disrupt the lives of Hong Kong people and then beating a good citizen senseless when he tries to remove them is peaceful?

Senator, do your homework. Better yet, just stay out of it. With all due respect, Sir, your remarks look and sound ridiculous to someone who knows what's actually going on in Hong Kong.

Sincerely,

Eric Langager
