    Just observing these politicians slithered out of the woodwork to criticize “SJW” because they think calling out others for the appearance of hypocrisy was worth being noticed as greedy cowards who have no problem or qualms of selling out.

    This is a thoughtful interview from a German media with a pro-democracy activist in Hong Kong.



    Some written excerpts can be found here.

    There is no evidence that the death is directly caused by police actions at all. The protesters are trying to find every possible link to put suspicions on the police. Some of them take revenge actions before any investigations could even take place. These emotions have been completely out of control.

    What should be the penalty for these people when they are caught by the police?

    Give the people of Hong Kong the basic human right to self determination and all this stops.

    Last week "authorities" barred popular democracy advocate Joshua Wong from running in the upcoming election because he was expected to win.

    On Saturday "authorities" announced they are arresting 7 more prominent democracy law makers ........ ahead of the upcoming elections.

    All ahead of the November 24 local elections.

    Let's see if those elections are even held or if the CCP......err local "authorities" make sure such elections are never held.

    The local democracy advocates are confident that they will gain greatly if the elections go as planned.

    The victim is still recovering in hospital. He was not killed at the moment. In HK, this could be one year or less or no jail time. The rule of law is dead there.

    In my opinion, this is organized terrorism attack on a civilian in public. Death penalty is the only justice to serve them.

    What should happen to the police officers that have shot protesters?

    Also, since you think that there should be a death penalty for those protesters, should everyone in the CCP associated with kidnapping and torturing 2,000,000 Chinese citizens in concentration camps be given the death penalty.

    Thank you for your anticipated CCP puppet response, I could you a good laugh at the CCP expense.

    The police officer should be given some rewards. He did his job and he protected his gun. He saved many lives by the shooting.

    kidnapping and torturing 2,000,000 Chinese citizens?? and they are some most extreme Muslims? How could anyone achieve that?? How could anyone come up with this kind of nonsense? I've told you you need to get your brain checked. It is totally not functional.

    What is crazy is how some pro-protesters think that burning this guy was staged to help drum up support for the pro-govt side. I'm generally pretty open to hearing about conspiracy theories but I don't know in what reality some random guy on the street (vs a prepped stuntman in a controlled environment) can have their face and tshirt doused in fuel and set on fire and be okay.

    A Japanese tourist got his free freedom lesson......all because he looks like a Chinese. He must deserve no basic human rights.

    They are too brainwashed to reason, it's hopeless.

    Yes, the individual acts of brutality by people who object to China's systemic cruelty and oppression are wrong. They don't make China's oppression any more valid.

    Amnesty International has pointed out numerous instances of police brutality against the freedom fighters.

    That doesn't even include the violence done by the (dwindling) pro Chinese people in Hong Kong.

    People want basic human rights like self determination...... the fact that the CCP openly believes in sovereignty above all else tells me all I need to know about the CCP.

    I will continue economically supporting the freedom fighters in Hong Kong is the hope that the people will have a voice.

    It seems we're nearing the breaking point.

    Well....... we know what the Chinese Communist Party will instruct their lackeys to do.

    I'm sure they are fueling up their tanks and sharpening up their bayonets.

    The difference is that this is isn't 1989. The whole world will get to see the CCP slaughter and the stabbing of women and the wholesale slaughter of young people and the tanks and the fires and the bodies turned to paste and pushed into the gutters.
