Heckler heard round the world: Wenyi Wang could get 6-month jail term

Forget free speech. The event was not open to the public. This country and its leaders are entitled to control their message in foreign relations.

Not if I'm paying for the venue...

If we don't want unruly citizens speaking truth to tyranny, keep the Hus of the world inside & away from said citizens.

Pretty snarky. Keep in mind that you couldn't get in.

 

[Carl N. Brown]

True civil disobedience means breaking the law in protest, and
willingly going to jail out of conscience. That is what happened.

She should get a nobel peace prize.

After all they gave one to Yassir Arafat:banghead:

If we don't want unruly citizens speaking truth to tyranny, keep the Hus of the world inside & away from said citizens.

If they bring tyrants out into the light of public glare, they risk having uppity citizens speak their minds about the tyrants. Even on governemnt owned & taxpayer-supported lawns.

Bill Gates may give the Hus of the world auditory fellatio, but the rest of us uppity citizens aren't required to toe the line...especially when WE are paying the bills to keep the lawn maintained and for the soapbox Hu is speaking from.

+1

++1 on Bill Gates

Wenyi Wang was willing to pay the price to speak out, unlike those who seem to think that freedom should be a free ride.
