Ya know we don’t get a few images of a violent clamp down the next day or even a few days later in the local paper.
It’s INSTANT.
And there’s no hiding it unless you confiscate everyone’s cell phone! Cell phone cameras have really made it harder to do bad things in public :)
So much for peaceful protests. I’ve always maintained that rioters should be shot; those protestors regrettably have become rioters. Too bad.
That is, unless there are ChiCom false flaggers doing the brick throwing to create an excuse to shoot...always a possibility.
“The cops have got to be on the side of the protesters since they grew up there. Can’t see them taking orders from fascists.”

If that, Hong Kong would have been controlled by PRC China in 1967 when the left-wing riots were escalating.
Very funny.
On 10 October, 1956, a bunch of pro-KMT anticom thugs smashed Hong Kong, called “double 10” riots.
It should not surprise anyone if history eventually proves that Beijing is hiring the Chinese mafia-like gangs in Hong Kong to infiltrate the protests and create violence, creating excuses for harsh police action in response, in an effort to put the blame on the legitimate peaceful protestors.
Wish that was so - still easy to do the bad thing - just harder to spin a good denial story...the question is how far China is willing to go while the world still has eyes-on and how much they can mask after the initial assault/confiscation/roundup. I think that Trump becomes a bigger factor than they would have ever thought as he will certainly leverage any misdeeds in this situation to the max and he has already got their economy/currency reeling against the ropes....with no rope-a-dope trick in their bag.
“..Funny. That’s what leftists do....”
MERELY coincidence, my good man... Nothing to see here...!!! :^)
Any place to see a live feed of what’s happening there?
