No mention of the equal number of Chinese counter-protestors? Were you even there Ilya?
cool! Princetonians are proud of our fellows. This is exiting.
AC brings up a good point about Chinese student protestors being there. And it goes to the heart of the matter. If there had been rally about the Olympics in China, and a group was protesting against the govenment's position, then those people would have been attacked by government forces, possible detained, beaten, jailed, tortured or killed. I consider the HRTR a pro-China event. No one would benefit more than the Chinese people if the CCP was gone. I hope that all Chinese people someday realize that they don't need to defend commmunism--it was invented in the West and then later spead to Asia. It has nothing to do with Asian culture.
we finally do something right in US. Good job, reporter.
Wow, Ilya! Good job! You were either writing an article about an event you did not even go to or intentionally ignored the Chinese students protesting this so-called "human rights torch relay" who almost outnumbered the organizers, not to mention that the whole "human rights torch relay" is simply funded by the "Falun Gong" cult that worships a living god and advocates the abandonment of medical practices under the disguise of "human rights". Once again, our Western media (even a college media outlet) demonstrate exactly what the Chinese are accusing of us. Good job, Ilya!
I kept reading and could not believe that there wasn't even a mention of the counter-protesters. This bias is really ridiculous when you can't even report what happened.
