Kind of like that scene in the “Left Behind” movie?
It is disturbing to watch that video from China.
The old Communist is confused, and looks like he his pleading with Xi who pointedly ignores him, so that guy probably knew his fate was sealed.
I find it hard to muster too much sympathy for the old guy, since he was likely a party member his whole life and likely had the toe of his pointed shoe on the testicle of some dissident at some point, but all Leftists should know, sooner or later the tyranny they espouse will come to take their freedoms and their lives someday.
However, it is a given that they will refuse to believe it until they are dragged away by the people they supported as they scream out in confusion “Why are you doing this to me? I am one of you!”
