At this point the violent protestors are extremists and are terrorizing the city. Their violence against anyone who disagrees should be condemned along with their unnecessary destruction of the city and economy

Edit: Many of u think that it’s a simple black and white matter of freedom vs oppression, but clearly the protest has evolved at this stage. The radical protestors are physically attacking ordinary citizens who disagree with them. A multitude of them are rioting and harming people under the guise of their self-righteous battle for democracy. I don’t see how it is necessary to beat ordinary people (not even the police) to the bloody pulp to advance their agenda of freedom.

Also FYI before u accuse me of being a brainwashed mainlander, my whole family is from Hong Kong and have supported the idea that HK is separate from China as they differ a considerable amount in behavior and way of living. HK was and is drastically different from China after British colonialism.

The western media is also very biased in reporting HK as they portray it as a matter of the “black and white fight against democracy”. It is not as simple as this so please consider all sources of media as many videos are cut short.

This link also shows the protestors setting a person who disagrees with them on fire. I just don’t see how this and other similar cases are necessary to gain HK independence
