Hong-Kong Protests

[dratsabknihcllik]

Was reading the comments on the yahoo link shared by a respected member and found a p comment by someone (something?) named "Fortune favours the trolls"'-
"They aren't rioters, only protesters as most the weapons they attacked the police and other citizens with aren't lethal. Only very few protesters are armed with petro bombs. Most only had acid bottles and metal rods."
I hope you guys will agree that we too have similar chimp-esque 'members' around us.

He was hitting the police officer on the arm with a baton. I've no doubt that the officer reacted in self-preservation but it's not as if the media or other violent-prone protesters would care.

Did you even bother to look at what actually happened? The policeman was not only protecting himself from getting killed. He was also trying to ward off the group of rioters who were attacking and possibly killing his compatriot on the ground using iron rods.

Anyone who thinks the policeman was wrong to shoot is free to replicate his actions against armed police in a freedom-loving country of their chose and see how many times they get shot.

More gun fired after rioters beat police.

But I suposed its excessive use of force because the "majority" are peaceful!

New police code of conduct being issued for Hong Kong police only! (not USA, UK or western nations).

From now on, in response to rioters, police must take into accounts that "majority, say 80%" of rioters are peaceful, and as such the response must be in poportion of 20% ONLY! This means police can only hit back 20% as hard, or hit rioters 20% of the time (should keep still for 80% of time accept beatings by rioters).

Failure to do so will lead to condemnation by our honoured members, and investigation by Armistice international, together with western sanctions!

Best way to make more people hate you is to block the roads and cause traffic on a work day (or any day really). I've never ever sympathized with any cause that thought it should ruin my day, to get me on their side and channel my anger towards whatever thing that caused them to make that choice. I've thought that it should be legal to drive over anyone purposefully causing a traffic disturbance does that to demonstrate/protest/riot would look real good crushed up under a tank.

So the Hong Kong rioters finally got what they wished: getting shot by the police. However, that does not seem to have achieved the effect they were hoping for.

Looks like Western Media is more interested in China's 70-year anniversary than in a HK "democracy activist" getting shot.

So sorry to @SinoSoldier that he didn't get the mass outrage he was so sure was coming.

Of course China has a duty to fix Hong Kong's problems! Hong Kong is a part of China, or have you forgotten that? The interests of the Chinese nation include every inch of its territory. People who think they can gain "strategic interest" by sacrificing territory is forgetting the lessons of history, ironically the very history of Hong Kong itself!

China only has a duty to fix Hong Kong's problem when the HKers come to their sense and realize that their capitalist-based system is a pile of crap, and begs for change. In the mean time, I refuse to support any intervention from Mainland, neither in terms of money, nor in terms of law enforcement man power (troopers/PAP).

In the mean time, let them rot. We can take patriotic HKers as refugees, and provide them with great opportunities, protection and help. But no more wiping them HKer's ungrateful ass.

Yeah, I disagree completely.

The duty of a nation is to take care of its citizens, regardless of what they think of the government. When a government cares only for its supporters, the nation is weakened and divided.

Obviously you think Hong Kong is so tiny and inconsequential that this would not matter. That's what the Qing government also thought when they gave HK away in the first place.

People change their minds *after* you help them fix their problems. I would wager that if the PAP went in today and restored order to the city, the vast majority of HKers would be extremely grateful.

The shooting is only the beginning. We should wait, and let them get used to being shot at. This will take a few month. Their stupidity is the months of biased over-exaggerated negative MSM reporting on the HK police. That was meant to quickly forced the HK government to back down Ukraine style. But it has a downside: once the HK government held on, those negative reporting would become pointless and worse: it will become a desensitizing process that make the global populace apathetic.

This is also why the only MSM smearing campaign of "Uyghur Concentration Camp" is also fruitless. It was meant to destroy China-Muslim World relations. Yet, since the reporting are way too earnest and way too fanatical, they even go as far as saying "organ harvesting" without evidences. This made the Middle Eastern people skeptical and desensitized.
