This old man is beating dead horse democracy. Come on man you know that what coming to you if you carries those banner. He said it himself that he wasn’t bother in the previous year but now he want to politicized his visit by posting it on the net than this carries the banner. I agree with MAC on this one he is disingenuous

MAC,
It seems to me that it’s one of the old man’s points…that it should not be a personal mourning, it should be a celebrated mourning for heros of justice and free speech within the Han majority.
But of course, your right, I’m sure he “expected” something from sheepish thugs.
He has the makings of a courageous hero in my book.

whate ever it may be, this is just a cruel treatment for 75 years old man. China has lost its morals, ethic and values under this communist regime. hunger and blinded by powers and corruption. never be charmed by economic success where her people are brutally treated.

Okay, obviously the perpetrators are thugs. But doesn’t this come off as a bit disingenuous-

“I didn’t expect this. I was not trying to organize any group of people. It was just a personal visit to a cemetery…”

Considering that earlier it was written that:

He said he had started down a cemetery path, carrying a banner that read “Condolences for the heroes who died for freedom”….

Not that it makes any difference in the overall story, but seriously, who carries a banner to a strictly personal mourning?
