    That took some nerve on their part to make such a request. Were they

    They wanted us to arrest them. They didn't really specify what we should do with them after that.

    In China, protesters would probably end up making involuntary organ
    donations of the fatal kind to keep CCP bigshots in top health. Maybe
    they imagine that would happen in America too....

    Probably didn't care so long as they weren't visible while the Chinese President was in town.

    Of course they care. They would truly appreciate it if we were as
    oppressive as them.
