    His integrity what makes him the greatest. .not many people are like him. . Most of us are like grass, when wind blow to the east, we go to the east. . therefore Muhammad Ali is different. .

    I want to see Americans posting about Activists IN VIETNAM more, and I now see it. In 2017 a Pro democracy priest was on his way to a City with his friend, suddenly he got beaten by some random thugs, and the thugs pushed them into the car, and covered the car plate number with mud, and beat him and his friend again until bleeding. Police who was standing in the near of the place of incident did nothing, so those thugs was paid. The Priest was just released 4 years earlier from Prison. He 2017 spent time in prison again for the same action for what he did in 2007 which led him to 6 years of prison.
