Those Protesters
nearly killed a man they got hold of,
lucky the medics got him out .


SkyNewsHD just reported a newspaper says the injured man is a journalist.

The protesters are getting violent because one of them lost an eye (supposedly fired by the police) and other protesters have been seriously injured including brain damage. They are accusing the police of using excessive force. That's why tempers have frayed in the last couple of days.

China will want to be careful because there are a lot of westerners in Hong Kong, and they signed an agreement with the UK when we handed it back that nothing would materially change to the rights of people in Hong Kong for the next 50 years

People just need to calm down a bit and return to peaceful protest.

Today around 40 protesters are left
all seated. They got in before the New Court Order
stopped them.

[Overnight, the airport's management obtained an interim injunction
"to restrain persons from unlawfully and wilfully obstructing or interfering" with airport operations.]
https://news.sky.com/story/hong-kong...rport-11784677



What is so wrong the 2nd man the Dumb Protestors
captured
and beat into a coma
was from a China Newspaper.
He was not a police undercover officer.

They were told officially to meet
only in as Large Park
problem is it can only take 500,000
and it appears to be over a million on the streets now
maybe due to the intense rain
no Protesters will create any trouble.
