I should have asked about you. What is your job in HK? Are you enjoying your time there?
It should be 1:00 in the afternoon there, if I'm not mistaken. Be sure to relax and take a breath every once in awhile; the pace of life in HK is pretty overwhelming.
In the midst of my tirade I forgot my manners. Take care of yourself and your family, if they're with you.

-Shaun

"In America innocent children and adults get killed or wounded by stray bullets in every major city almost routinely."

You know, until he mentioned it I hadn't given it much thought, but he's right. I lost two or three friends just last week, and a couple kids too. I'll try to stop by their funerals if I can remember to ask for time off from work.

Nice communist propaganda, that article. The author knows he could end up in the laogai if he doesn't go along with the program.

I haven't personally been to HK but have friends who did, and they say it isn't particularly safe. There is crime, and (*gasp*) the criminals have guns... especially the gangsters. Murders are "magically, mysteriously" not reported in the controlled newspapers. It is amazing the lengths that CHICOMS will go to in trying to convince all that their system is a benevolent, even Utopian society.

There is the reply from the author (sic):

From: Michael DeGolyer

To: "Jay C."

Date:

Today 7:44:28 pm

Dear Jay,

The column was about violent crime, esp murder and even more particularly,

gun crimes, not all crime or crime in general. Read a little more carefully.

M

I guess he chooses to ignore the chineese gangs that ravage the backstreets of HK, and the residents are too terrified to report..

Huh?
Perhaps he need to THINK a little more carefully.

"In Hong Kong, where population size, density and poverty exceed nearly all American cities, when was anyone shot in crossfire?"



This is an interesting question. I would like to hear the response from the HK offices of the DNC,ACLU, NAACP,and other agencies who oversee their criminal groups
