Any chance more of those student activists could be arrested? Or maybe sending bunch of them to Xinjiang? Otherwise they remain timed bombs.
At the very least, I imagine some people are getting monitor. A court decision has made the NSL somewhat retroactive in a way. I believe if you get caught post NSL , they can retroactive look for incidents pre-NSL as evidence to add weight to your crime.
Hopefully with the US BLM protest/riots, Capital siege, Unhinged Trump, Poor western response to Covid... some of these activist will have at least a more balance view of the world. However, after seeing the incident with the police stabbing, some are beyond help.
No one during the riots were getting convicted, so i think the protesters/rioters felt they had free reign to cause chaos. Now they are sobering up that unauthorized protest will really get you 6 months and breaking NSL will definitely get you 3+ years. Idiots stacking bricks on the road or bashing public structure? That is terrorism, can be 10 years.
