Now, another possible racially-charged protest in Salinas is flagging some concerns in the community. A photo taken late Wednesday evening shows a person in a Hazmat-looking suit holding up a large sign that says "China Did This."


So if I as an American citizen exercise my 1st Amendment rights and criticize China for the coronavirus I will be investigated by the FBI?

A logical response.

People generally like it when their country is being destroyed by another country.

FBI?

Really?

Anyone believe that collection O’clowns anymore?

They perped the “hate crime” of the century - the Russia influencing joke. “Hey buddy, wanna buy a faked dossier? I’ve got it right here under my trench coat.”

I do not hate Asian Americans but you must admit to yourself that a true Asian Friend would not do or say what China has done or said. They look so bad in my eyes. The government of China is not the friend of America. It’s simple. Don’t make it complicated.

>> their country is being destroyed by another country.

Far more accurate: “... destroyed by the CCP” (Chinese Communist Party”).

Well, yes.

You are free to go beat up old Jewish men, though.

Also, it’s OK to slander churches and church-goers, provided no blacks or Hispanics go to the church in question (unless said blacks or Hispanics are Republicans, in which case it is OK).

The article didn't say that the FBI was investigating this specific incident.

I heard Cuomo use a statement something to the effect of "new normal". Well, if that includes Feds/Law eforcement being seen as cracking down on citizens on behalf of the Chinese government, Covid-19 might become the least of the Deep State's concerns (and that includes those who support them, like most of the propaganda organs known as the "media")

Well, China did this. There is no dispute about it. Not the Chinese people, but the Chinese government

What happened to the Japanese during WWII -interment camps could happen again in the US. Maybe not interment camps but widescale hatred and abuse against Chinese people in US.
People say it would never happen again in the US = bullshite.

People are tribal and if millions die in the US or our economy tanks into something worse than the Great Depression with major wealth lost all bets are off especially if the true scale of what China has lied about comes about.
