"Protests continued Sunday despite the violence in Yuen Long on Saturday, this time within the Hong Kong city center. Protesters also waved American flags there. Some carried signs reading “We need the 2nd Amendment”" https://t.co/M00r3InTPc pic.twitter.com/67hGDVCd3P

How touching is this? While we have Americans who want to burn the flag and kneel to insult it, here are these folks, fighting for their freedom, seeing our flag as a beacon of that freedom they want. It’s really dangerous for them to do so, because China will then accuse them of being “influenced by foreigners” and use it as a greater excuse to shut them down.
When people talk about “resistance,” this is brave resistance.
