Anh Ba from Nha Hat Ha noi :

when vietnamese people will stand up for themselves? are they just gonna wait and let China kill them with Toxic chemical? Vietnamese people are in a hopeless situation now. And why United States are not putting a sanction on China for polluting and destroying international sea.
we can not just think about protect a country's interest any more. We have to protect this earth, our planet is being destroy by China. We all need to wake up, or Earth will be destroyed.

Hate Communist from ghet bac Ho :

Mary Pham, allow me to paint you a picture!
There is no VNmese organization oversea can/will send $$$ to entice ‘anti-government marches’ – let alone enriches the priests. The true is VNmese people are fed up with injustice and you communist scums should be concerned. It’s coming – more and frequently!
These organizations barely can raise enough $$$ to help build churches, natural disasters, and orphanages. By now you know, I’m into all that; hence; I can speak and write with commands for I don’t believe in lips services! Unlike you, spewing lies and venomous. Yes, we would love to do more – anything to lift the burdens and free our people from a mindless stooge as you and your ‘Party’.
About the priest, my great uncle was a priest. With his academic achievements, he could be anything. But, he chose to serve the 1 and living God. For the rest of his life, his entire possession was only 2 habits (priest clothing) and an old rusted bicycle. All his salary was donated to scholarship fund so students can study abroad. At the age of 70 and after years of planning he finally escaped from VN with 12 orphans. Years later, his body was rested at De LaSalle Christian Brothers Cemetery. I didn’t know then, but it was an honor to be with him during that last hour.
That is how we live – to serve others. It’s the passion for truth and life.
But not you, you was indoctrinated by goons without morals. I encourage you to challenge/question the ‘systems’ and do the right things.

Mary Pham from Ha Tinh :

Trouble makers disguised as priests and environmental activists are becoming smelly campaign and melt away soon. What left will be heart-broken parishioners and wealthy Catholic leaders with overseas monies. RFA can continue to put out these propaganda but no Vietnamese pays any attention!

Hate Communist from ghet bac Ho :

This is so kick-ass, held a mass before the march! Wish I was there, raising heck with the boys! This is how it supposed to be. I’m salivating at the chance to march with you all.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunitions, praise the Lord and pass the ammunitions, God is on ours sides!
We aren’t taking this crud lying down no more!
Please, come and join this march. This is historic. Unlike our ancestors, we aren’t going to battle fields and raise the flag; anytime soon; so this is as close as it gets. There is no Tran Hung Dao, Le Loi, or Quang Trung to save us this time. It’s just you and your neighbors.
There are no sins asking for justice and fairness. Both God and our ancestors have never forbidden those values. No one on earth should take those from us! Don’t let their fights and deaths go in vain. You can/will overcome and take back what is rightly yours.
For years I know religions are very strong in VN and no one can’t touches them - then or even now. These Communist will lose if they ever persecute religions – especially the Catholics. I wish this day will come sooner for sooner VN will be free. God will take vengeance upon his enemies.
Perhaps the Communist goons have forgotten whom they supposed to serve and think for themselves. I challenge them to think for once then they will know that the people are right and deserve a fair treatment.
March on and fight a good fight!
