I fully support you, our respectful taiwan students! And just to remind you kindly, check back who made the law and who can change the law then turn into actions. I’m afraid it is not the administration under Pres. Ma who made the law or can change the law, but the legislative branch of the government, say, the lawmakers. So please send your voice to the congress and hold protest there… That seems to make sense, right? Thanks u.

Bravo! Fight for human rights and freedom in Taiwan. It is your future you are fighting for. You don’t want Taiwan to be like authoritarian China. For Taiwan to be part of China would be even worse.

I was absolutely shocked by the events on the 3rd and 4th. The students revived the hope I have for my country. I went to see them last night and told them how proud I was of them. Their family and friends can give them love and money; their teachers can give them education and guidance; but I’m not sure the current politicians can guard democracy and independence for them. They need to learn quickly to gain and protect their freedom and civil rights, not just for themselves and their children, but for their grandchildren. I told them I’ll rest in peace in Heaven when I see their grandchildren still can vote for their President!

God I love Taiwan. I hope the gov’t follows the people’s opinions and is as open as possible and absolutely should not punish people for thought crimes like in China.

Taiwan got soul, so proud of the students.

“I do not agree with a word that you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it”.

People who are only wear cloths with words on it does not deserved to be beaten or arrested by police. The act of brutal rule is unacceptable.

All wish to the students.

What exactly are the demands of the students? The Parade and Assembly law was promulgated under the authority of the government in exile Republic of China. Do the students realize that the Republic of China is a government in exile??
