When attending an event a few days ago, Luo Zhiqiang said, "Two days ago, Shen Boyang organized Huo Wu. How beautiful. Will anyone deal with him? Will anyone arrest him? Dare to deal with him?

The nine-in-one general election is approaching, and the Taipei mayoral election continues to heat up. When attending an event a few days ago, Kuomintang legislator Luo Zhiqiang said, "Two days ago, Shen Boyang held Huowu. It was so beautiful. Did anyone handle him? Did anyone arrest him? Dare to arrest him? Dare to arrest him? This is the truth about the DPP's judiciary today." The confusing speech made netizens call out, "Who did Huowu offend?" and "It's all hate speech. It's very irritating to hear!"

The online talk show "Chairman's Talk" planned and executed by Wu Zijia, chairman of Formosa Electronic News, held a fan meeting in Dazhi on the 2nd. Legislators Xu Qiaoxin, Luo Zhiqiang, Hong Mengkai, Ye Yuanzhi and others attended. Luo Zhiqiang spoke at the event and said, "Two days ago, Shen Boyang held a fire dance. What a beautiful, lively, wonderful, brilliant and luxurious fire dance. Will anyone take action against him? Will anyone arrest him? Dare to take him to justice? Dare to arrest him? This is the truth about the DPP's judiciary today. Just like Chairman Wu Zijia, it is very interesting. He sent a report to be searched and his mobile phone was collected, but the person who threatened him with death, have you searched him?"

Some netizens reposted Luo Zhiqiang's speech and posted a question, "Does he have bipolar disorder?? He doesn't feel sick... Who did Huo Wu offend?"

Other netizens also said, "It's all hate speech, it's very annoying to hear!", "The Kuomintang can also find a fire dance troupe", "I don't understand... what does fire dance have to do with Shen Boyang? Shen Boyang runs fire dance? Then he should be arrested but the DPP didn't arrest him? What the hell?", "The concept of insisting on pouring shit", "Forcing yourself Ji Zhong listened to it once, and it was really annoying to hear what he said, and I didn’t hear the reason for arresting him or punishing him.” “He didn’t dare to explain it clearly, because in fact... it was nothing, just wipe it out.” “Why do these elders accept so much negative energy?”, “Don’t you see, the crowd was confused after hearing this! Do the crowd like such remarks?”

Some netizens also bluntly said, "The last fire dance performance was organized in the name of the 'Legislator Shen Boyang's Office.' The Legislator's Office can hold art promotions or public welfare activities. The performance is an open space and the public is invited to participate. Anyone can come and go freely. After the performance, Shen Boyang came on stage to give a brief thank you. He did not shout any campaign slogans or engage in any election-related behavior. However, the other camp criticized the fake art and the real publicity."
