Maybe Americans value their rights more than anything else, but to me as a Chinese citizen, this is both laughable and disrespectful.
I certainly do, but sadly not every American agrees. There are many "law and order" types who would have that person arrested and beaten if they could. Fortunately our rights are still intact, even after all this time. People can do such things without fear. Far from being "laughable and disrespectful", I consider it a sign of a healthy, functioning society. "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism", as the saying goes.
Leave other people alone to determine their own fate and destiny that's what the world asks
