  1. Do these "protestors" really believe that the military is not aware of the possibility of international infiltration and would be monitoring that if Fufeng was built? These people sound like children.

  2. This ain’t right. The man spoke facts. I am not fan of having a Chinese owned company near the air force base due to the nature of the mission at the base. Spying and cyber attacks may come from this company in the future

  3. Love this protester, I would have been just like him!!! We need a thousand more of him!!! Thank you sir!!! These big mouth board members need to be fired, impeached what ever it takes to get them out!!! NOT ONE OF THESE EVIL PEOPLE WILL SPEAK TRUTH, THEY ARE ALL IN BED WITH CHINA, SHAME ON THEM!!! WE KNOW THEIR JUST REWARD!!!

  4. we are not important enough to spy on these days. the protests are all old folks who are just afraid of the Chinese. fufeng will bring Americans in for jobs and the water usage isn't even going to negatively affect our water.

  5. Richie Cunningham made this guy to be a monster on the radio this morning in the ten minutes I listened. Ya he was a little loud and boisterous but made sense out of dollars and cents!!!

  6. Why was sent from hundreds of miles away to speak on behalf of the people of GF? Just to spread misinformation? Where's the proof? You can accuse anyone of anything and some people will believe it without a shred of evidence. My neighbor has a satellite dish so they must be communicating with China! GTFO of here with that crap. You can speak at our town meetings when you live in our town.

  7. Public comment is a vital part of every level of government! Unfortunately, the gentleman in this video seems to not understand the process. It's obvious he is unhappy with the decision and he certainly has the right to give his opinions, but the threats he spouted have zero place in an intelligent discussion of the process. His passion regarding the proposal is obvious as well. The chair person, in my opinion, managed this in the best way possible, given the circumstances.

    I'm not disputing the idea that a foreign entity may not be the best Tennant, with that, I agree!

    It's just unfortunate that the gentleman speaking to the committee came in upset and tried to change the process of annexation by arguing about a foreign country.

    I have no way of knowing if this man attended previous meetings regarding the proposal, yet I suspect he hadn't. Having chaired these types of meetings for years, I can understand his compassion and even agree with his point regarding a potential threat to site security! Nevertheless, denying anyone that proposed an acceptable use of the property to purchase said property would only result in years of legal wrangling to which the city would be forced to spend millions of dollars trying to defend and ultimately end up probably paying the legal costs for a defendant bringing the suit against the city.

    If the proposed use is allowed, it legally doesn't matter who the property purchaser is, the fact remains the proposed use is allowed.

  8. Residents build your own cooperative plant. There is plenty of venture capital at hand. It should be of little trouble acquiring $500 million with a proper business plan. Recruiting good employees will be more of a challenge than raising the funds.

  9. My daughters house was broken into , keys copied, car stolen over and over again and dryer started on fire and fire started in her oven while she was gone out of her house and when my daughter told the fire department what was going on the said they couldn’t write that down because that would be dangerous THEN EVERY PART IF YIUR SYSTEM HERE IS EVIL AND AFRAID OF SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. THEY EVIDENTLY ARE AFTSID OF LOSING THEIR PAYCHECK OR EVEN WORSE THE THREAT IF BEING KILLED BY THE CARTEL WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THIS CITY AND BEING THROWN IN THE RIVER.

  10. Grand Forks counsel has allowed EVERY FORM OF EVIL INTO THIS CITY AND ARE PAID OFF BY THE TRAFFICKERS, LOOKS TO ME LIKE THE MAYOR AND COUNSEL SND JUDGES AND THE LAWYERS AND THE CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM HERE ARE THE TRAFFICKERS OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN. Well, my daughter and my grandson are NOT FOR SALE BY THIS EVIL GOVERNMENT HERE IN GRAND FORKS BUT RATHER I WILL BE EXPOSING THEM FOR WHO THEY REALLY ARE.

  11. OMG….WHAT A BUNCH OF Q BELIEVERS……IDIOTS AND WAY OUT OF LINE…..WOULD BE THE SAME IF IT WAS A MUSLIM OWNED OR EVEN A BLACK OWNED…I GUESS THE MILITARY CANT PREVENT ITSELF FROM BEING SPIED ON BUT THESE HICKS CAN!!!!! WHAT A FUCKING JOKE

  12. Now the residents just sit back and let China come in here, I agree totally with the cowboys standing up here, here is what a man is supposed to look like that stands up against evil instead of being paid off like this city.

  13. Your government took my grandson from my daughter when she was the one being heated up and abused and raped and terrorized by the traffickers here in Grand Forks because your government system is all a part of the trafficking going on here. They are wicked and are being paid off and probably have been a part of the drugs going on here for years.

  14. THIS CITY GOVERNMENT HAS ALLOWED EVERY FORM OF EVIL INTO THIS CITY WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTERS OF THIS CITY. I WILL TELL EVERYONE ABOUT HOW THEY HAVE FOR YEARS ALLOWED THE DRUGGING AND RAPING AND ABUSE OF WOMEN WHO COME HERE TO COLLEGE. I WILL NOT SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.

  15. When young women are raped in this city for years and nothing is done about it but instead they promote the dealers, the traffickers and the rapists and instead promote evil then it is HIGH TIME TO STAND UP AGAINST THIS EVIL SYSTEM HERE IN GRAND FORKS. We don’t allow China to come into our North Dakota and start using their money to take over. STAND UP NOW!!!!!!!

  16. You all have wickedness running rampant and the system here is in the side of the drug dealers and traffickers instead of protecting the innocent and this is why women can be assaulted and raped for years and your government protects the traffickers and the rapists.

  17. It will create 233 jobs bitch businesses are struggling to find people who want to work too and who the f** would want to work for the Chinese when we have perfectly great farmers out there and make a living doing it and great at it.
