Flushing, NY, City Councillor John LiuStory here.
NEW YORK—Bizarre incidents have been afoot in Flushing, a city on the outskirts of Manhattan, over the last five months, as organized attacks against Falun Gong practitioners began taking place. Over 15 individuals have been arrested, and similar incidents are still occurring.
Soon after the attacks began, a recorded phone conversation revealed that the Chinese consul general in New York had boasted of having encouraged and congratulated the attackers. City Councilmember John Liu and State Assemblywoman Ellen Young were also found to have met with and supported those accused of the attacks.
Before John Liu took his peculiar stand toward the violence against Falun Gong in his district, he was honored in China by the Chinese Communist Party and its media as a rising political star, even though his only political activities have been here in New York City.

The meeting was announced on June 29, when an article published by China Press said that on the following day, John Liu would be holding an open office for any resident who wanted to present their cases. On June 30, during a press conference at his office, Liu denied knowledge of violence of the attacks. He also refused to condemn the attackers or offer support to the victims.
Following the press conference, Liu kicked out Falun Gong practitioners who had come to his office to present their cases, and instead met with the attackers.
Read it all. Expect other Communist stooges to troll on in and say, "Hey, the Epoch Times is a Falun Gong paper... and you know the Falun Gong... they lie!" As if they don't see the irony for them, professed non-discriminators, in singling out a minority group and spreading lies, hatred and contempt against them, plus discrediting a news organization just because some of its personnel happen to be Falun Gong practitioners. Would Left-wing trolls dare dismiss a report because some employees of the news organization happen to be, say, Muslim, or homosexual, or Chinese? Oh, no, but for the Far, Bigoted Left, always quick to jump to the defence of the evil Communists, the Falun Gong, as they're hated by the evil Communists, are to be seen by them in the same falsely negative, terribly prejudiced light as many Germans saw the Jews after being brainwashed by Goebbels's Big Lie propaganda machine.
By the way, I wonder if John Liu is of any relation to Charles Liu, AKA "Bobby Fletcher"...
