Hong-Kong Protests

Wow! A new low of savage behaviour. But then again, it just demonstration in another form. I bet this wont get reported in the "free press"!

Epic fail, in demonstration in another form! Lol, you couldn't make it up!

This is unbelievable, it is either very brave or very foolish. Either case, it show just how brazen these cockroaches have become, openly attacking police and think he can get away with it!

Resorting to beating up woman unconscious. Nothing is off limits to these people!

This proves the situation is much more complex than the MSM trying to tell us.

It shiwed there are people in Hong Kong still backing the government and police force in enforcing law and otder!

This is the begining of the epic fail on the petrol bomb. Lol

That's how someone dies in these protests. Not sure how running around stops the fire.

Not exactly putting HongKongers on a spot as the silent majority are supportive of the government and the police. However, the rioters and to some extent most of their supporters have to be held responsible for the mayhem and unlawfulness. The institutionalization of hatred and disrespect within the educational system is also problematic. Compound this with the judicial system composed almost exclusively of British and Australian Justices are also a problem. One has to wonder if they are performing their duties to protect the public when they release the rioters as fast as the police can catch them. Citizens may have to take law enforcement and judicial actions to help protect their livelihood if this continues.

Absolutely agreed.

These are many problems with HK society I see that should take precedence over whatever their demands are. Income inequality is not new to HK and was not brought about by China, it has existed as long as anyone can possibly remember, HK social problem are for HK to resolve and blaming China will not help anyone. I don't believe anyone is suggesting that China step in to fix HK's social problems.

They may have grievances like all of us but we all deal with it. That said, They should still be held accountable for their actions. Blaming the Chinese for the disparity is non-sense considering that they have so much more opportunities than those from mainland and have been beneficiary of the relationship.

Considering Hong Kong is a city that is part of the country of China and that they are indeed heavily economically and socially intertwined of course the authorities in both places should be co-ordinating on solving problems, more so the national and regional governments assisting/augmenting/guiding the city government on city problems that are caused and/or exacerbated by regional and/or national factors such as housing affordability and availability/pricing of necessities such as healthcare, baby formula, etc. These are problems that objectively involve factors due to Hong Kong's relationship with China (including disparities) and Chinese consumers'/investors'/immigrants' activities in Hong Kong, this is not "blaming mainlanders" nor are Hong Kongers necessarily "beneficiaries". Again at the end of the day I say the responsibility for this perfect storm primarily lies with the failure over time of the Hong Kong authorities and elites to take care of their people, manage their city, and lead their society, at this point besides from Hong Kongers themselves the only other entities capable of helping the situation are the rest of China.

All along there are only two valid grievances to be addressed (at this point one has actually been met) and three invalid grievances to be dropped in terms of the five official grievances from the rioters, protesters, and their supporters. Then there is the most important and urgent grievance that so far has been insufficiently addressed by the Hong Kong authorities, this grievance is from the rest (majority) of Hong Kong society against the property destruction, assaults on people, disinformation campaign, obstruction of justice and normal life by the rioters, protesters, and their supporters.

So is it true that these hooligan protestors don't have jobs? I saw lots of videos early on of people accusing that. Looks like there's going to be a couple lost generations in Hong Kong.
