1)黄姑娘的petition洋洋洒洒;反对的干瘪几句话,不看标题真不知道在说哪里的啥事情

2) 反对的人数远超过了黄姑娘派,等了几十秒看看,怎么大部分签名反对的都是老中?

3)狗了一下,看到这篇新闻报道

The author of the petition, Eileen Huang, received serious backlash for her effort. Official criticism is rooted in the belief that the blue line is a symbol of police support and removal would be equate to a retraction of support. However, some of the responses Eileen received were personal and racial. On a public Instagram post about the blue line, several high school students commented taunting Eileen and other supporters about eating "bat-soup," a reference to Huang's Chinese-American identity. Physical threats telling other supporters to "F*** around and find out" how racist the town is were also made. Despite the backlash, Huang notes that the petition "gained 600 signatures in less than a day, which just goes to show how much support there is for removing these anti-Black symbols."
