After brutal beating of friend, the target of Steve Bannon’s protest group will sue police and City of Surrey for ‘failing to protect neighbourhood’

‘Citizens’ from Steve Bannon and a Chinese billionaire’s ‘new federal state’ have been protesting in a Metro Vancouver cul-de-sac nearly daily for more than two and a half months. They accuse a local resident, Gao Bingchen, of being a spy for Beijing. On Wednesday in broad daylight, two protesters savagely beat Gao’s friend, Louis Huang. Louis was smoking outside waiting for his friend to come out of the house when two men approached him, dragged him to the ground and repeatedly kicked him in the neck and head, surveillance video obtained by the Star shows. Police showed up around 15 minutes later and arrested the two men. But on Thursday morning, the same group of protesters minus the two attackers showed up again. Gao is now planning to sue the City of Surrey and Surrey police for their ongoing failure to protect his family and neighbourhood.
