I don't know. I guess I see it all very simply. It's crime. To say that this one man was trying to enforce Chinese laws opens the door for discussions that end up being about race and politics. He broke the law. And on the other side of the coin I've read posts from local people, well meaning Chinese folks, who ... Full Comment>>

Guest7816 ASK: "the topic is about his crime, no?" My reply: First of all, it's hard to know if you mean "topic" or "issue". If you mean issue, then no . . . the issue, could never, by simply logic, be about one man's crime. Now, any "topic" ,any where, might be about Mr. Hale. But I have to ask you why that is ...
