A few days ago, I'd asked if the CCP-installed govt would call the spontaneous mutual aid from HKers the work of "foreign forces". Then I thought of the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, where the CCP denied external aid so the PLA could play the heros and could cover up govt responsibility for deaths
To prevent the remnants of "poisonous black-clad riots" from reappearing, the police Nat-Sec Department is paying close attention to "relevant person involved", with Nat-Sec police chief Li Kwai-wa & his team patrolling the area to "deter criminals" from spreading seditious messages.

Hong Kong's CCP mouthpiece Wen Wei Po published an article, declaring that "remnants of the black-clad riots" & "yellow persons" have infiltrated the relief efforts of the Tai Po fire, citing residents who saw people wearing black masks, reminding them of the "troublemakers" from the 2019 protests.

I'm sorry. Pirro, by deflecting from Trump and KegsBreath's responsibility for illegally placing the Guard in harm's way, the blood is on your hands as well!
Except that’s what everyone on the right was doing before we learned it was the Trump admin that granted him asylum - and most are still doing it. If only Republicans would blame the shooters more often instead of trying to use deranged acts by individuals for political gain.
