involment.
Act one, Scene two

I don’t understand why they’re doing this.  They’re going to lose there lives, going to get hurt and suffer very critical injures and I frankly don’t think are hospitals can manage. They’re wrong and everyone knows it. i don’t get why they think they’re right and it honestly bothers me that people think that they can just protest things that that think is right? This is the law. The law that has been there for thousands of year here in are mother land of China. Are mother land the place that we grew up in the place that we eat, we pick food and we raiwwse are family’s. They are disrespecting are county are honor and disgracing china and how we live, breath and talk. This military movement is for THEM not us. This is to keep them safe from outside interference from those stupid Americans. They’re people who are taking pictures and shooting this on there camera’s and there letting them do it because of there ignorant behavore. Are lords are kings are saviors give us command we follow them They need to understand that without them we wouldn’t be here he is the reason why we are stong. He is the reason why we eat and live to fight another day!
