The article says hundreds were gathered outside the hotel for a candlelit vigil. I don't know if you travel on business often, but the last thing I'd want to do is wade through a huge crowd of New Age weirdos after a long, uncomfortable flight.

And no American business should take a dime of Red Chinese money.

The article says hundreds were gathered outside the hotel

The times I have driven by there were definitely hundreds of them. However, they were lined up only one person deep on about a 1/2 mile of feeder road on both sides of the freeway. They were not anywhere near the hotel and they were not blocking traffic. They were all just standing by the curb holding their "SOS" signs for the drivers to read. For Freepers, some of you are pretty darn critical of peaceful protesters.
