    Does this mean the US will bomb Beijing?

    With all due respect, your absurdity is reaching new heights. Please explain how you came to that conclusion. Thanks in advance.

    One guy in a red shirt holding a sign saying the police make hong kong more beautiful doesn't negate the instigation of violence at a previously peaceful civil disobedience demonstration.

    The students have shown respect for the police and know they aren't the enemy.

    The whole protest itself is illegal. Go home if you want to show the police respect.

    Don't beat up protesters if you want to show the police respect. Don't sexually assault high school girls. I'm sorry you can't protest your pathetic government but free people in this world can.

    Go ahead and do a simple test under your democrazy government. Find a busy intersection, block it with a pile of crap, hold up a sign that says "**** the government" and see if you get beat up by random angry people or arrested by police.

    The Hong Kong police and government have shown tremendous restraint during this whole process. There's no other way to spin this, what the protesters are currently doing is illegal under basically any government's law and the police have every right to evict and clear them out.

    The protestors have the right to protest and demonstrate, but they sure as hell don't have the right to try to shut down large sections of a city, prevent other people of using public space, prevent other people from going to work/school, preventing businesses from operating, ruining other people's lively hood etc.

    Just look at occupy wall street, did the NYPD actually allow the protestors to occupy wall street and shut it down? hell no, every time the protestors tried to occupy or shut down a street the police responded in force and I think over 1000 protestors was arrested in NYC alone. If this was in NYC instead of Hong Kong, you can bet the NYPD would have cleared out the protestors long time ago if they tried to occupy and shutdown midtown Manhattan.

    These protest groups all tend to be highly self righteous. They always claim that they are peaceful and any police action is unwarranted, but it's practically never the case. Try to rush through a police barricade, occupy government offices etc, you'll get your ass beat in any country and rightfully so. Also just because the protest group is crying sexual assault or molestation, that doesn't make it true. Just look at yesterday's case of anti-OC protestor "sexually molesting" a female protestor and the smear campaign the pro-OC spin machine spit out

    [​IMG]

    The truth is this guy is just a local restaurant owner that lost 80% of his business due to the protests and was fed up and confronted the protestors. He got into a minor scuffle and fell, while falling he accidentally bumped into & accidentally touched the leg of a female protestor who screamed out sexual harassment and started crying ( a student from the Academy of Performing Arts no less)

    They should blast Michael Jackson's "they don't care about us"

    Post the video. I have seen it. His fall looks suspicious to say the least. Here is another video, did this guy fall?

    <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9m0bohw_7uI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    What about the other assaults that weren't on video?

    You can't compare this to wallstreet. The numbers dwarf those dirtbags. These people are fighting for a vote from a suppressing communist government.

    Really this looks "suspicious"?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vsm7x6Q_Zc

    First he tries to get/push through the wall of protestors, he ends up on the ground and the protestors in unison shouts sexual harassment.
    The protestors than form a wall around him preventing him from leaving, and when he tries to leave a female protestors steps in front of him and they bump into each other, and she & some other protestors starts screaming sexual harassment again and she just starts crying from the top of her lung.

    According to BBC, the # of protestors have dwindled significantly, there's only a couple of hundred of protestors in Mong Kok, about 100 in Admiralty in front of the government offices and about 10 in front of the chief executive office.

    Supposedly a picture showing the protestors in Mong Kok now being outnumbered by the anti-OC people.

    The Green are the Occupy Central protestors.
    Blue is the police cordon surrounding the protestors.
    Yellow are the anti-OC.
    White (perpendicular): Argyle Street, White (Horizontal): Nathan Street.
