FLUSHING, New York City—On June 25, the temperature was scorching in Flushing. At around 2:25p.m., a communist loyalist carrying signs slandering Falun Gong began to yell out remarks and false accusations in front of the New Jinshan Supermarket, amidst several others pretending to be strangers. A few minutes later, the police on duty near the booths for quitting the CCP rushed to dispel the crowd.
During the farce, an elderly man with one leg came over to a Falun Gong practitioner at the scene. He stood up with his crutch in one hand and a can of ice tea in the other and said, "It is so hot! Here is a nice can of ice tea for you. Please take it and good luck! I support you and Falun Gong."
Then he walked toward another female Falun Gong practitioner and took out another can of ice tea, "This one is for you. It is so hot today! Please have some ice tea."
During an interview with The Epoch Times he explained why he brought the ice tea for the Falun Gong practitioners. "I support Falun Gong!" he said.
He told the reporter his name was Alexander, and had lived in Latvia for 15 years under the rule of the communist regime.
Alexander said he agreed with President Reagan's statement that the Soviet Union was an evil empire. He knows from his personal experiences the communist regime is wicked and also understands why Falun Gong practitioners are helping Chinese people withdraw from the CCP. Thus he wants to support them.
He said, "I understand Falun Gong practitioners are not opposed to China but rather only the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The industrious Chinese people deserve to live in affluence with freedom and democracy. I support Falun Gong practitioners in helping to disintegrate the CCP.
He also came by another booth near the intersection of Sanford and Main. There, he gave two more cans of ice tea to the two Falun Gong practitioners over there and encouraged them to keep up with it.
