Yep, when and if he makes it through the Chinese prison he’s going to do at least if not more than the severest penalty of the rest of the group if convicted. Make no mistake that he’ll be convicted here because several of the Family ratted the others out for lighter sentences.

Thanks.

3 years is easy for China ?

Three years in a Chinese prison. I know one body part I wouldn’t want to buy.

How do you say “But-F**ed” in Chinese? Ah, I remember from my Mandarin lessons. It sounds like “Up your Yangsi River round eyes”.

Actually it’s NOT surprising that the Family is from well to do households. Normal people have to work. Spoiled rich kids get to bitch all day about “injustice” while on daddy’s dime.

You’re correct, that defines many in this group very well.

There were several older ones that were activist econuts that probably got it started and were more or less the leaders. One had an activist book store in AZ and belonged to the AZ Indymedia who committed suicide in a Flagstaff jail after being arrested.

Mr. Solondz’s parents, who never married, were later permitted to see him for an hour at a detention center. “After four years of not seeing Justin, there he was in shackles behind glass,” his mother said.

And now you know the rest of the story...
