On this thread I had suggested a few weeks ago that that the violent protestors (aka rioters) were mostly from tier-1 schools (universities and high schools) Message 32358832 , and last week additionally suggested that we are close to peace returning to the streets Message 32418999 I shall stay with those two suggestions. (1) In the meantime, the i-am-not-afraid-to-die types have apparently decided they wish to continue to kill, and kill again. The violence must stop, and rule of law must and shall triumph. The police must be able to do their job. The police capability and capacity for endurance so far exemplary. We are not afraid of the police. All those who are, stand up and be counted. We are afraid of the lawless petrol-bomb makers. Hong Kong officer shot with arrow, police deploy water cannons as Polytechnic University clash in Hung Hom escalates scmp.com (2) The People’s Liberation Army lads just super, volunteering to help clean up Hong Kong, and rectify some of the damage done against the rule-of-law terrorists, in gym clothing, clearly not armed, not looking for any fights, and truly not afraid to die. Super.. In the meantime, street cleaning is very good optics, almost as good as those pretty girl marines guarding Fiery Cross atoll in the south china sea by tending to greenhouses. PLA soldiers sent onto streets of Hong Kong for first time since protests began – to help clear roadblocks near Kowloon Tong garrison scmp.com (3) The kibitzers would likely spin a narrative describing how the silent majority are exemplarily cleaning up Hong Kong only to be able to reign by destruction at night time. Of course just because the narrative is suspect the doesn’t mean it would matter to the truth, that the majority of Hong Kong, however polled post manipulation, are fed up of the violence and destruction, and are expressing themselves by cleaning up, at risk of being murdered by way rocks, arrows, petrol bombs, and metal clubs. Hong Kong protests: residents turn out in force to clear roads near university campuses after five days of traffic mayhem scmp.com (4) The I-am-not-afraid-to-die (implication: i-am-not-fearful-to-kill) types are confessing, apologizing even as they are burning, looting, maiming, and killing, thinking that they are doing the rest of us a favor we had not asked for Group claiming to be Hong Kong students apologises for traffic chaos, but says government has forced them to do it scmp.com (5) Speaking of terrorists the world over, they make bombs, and their administrators must have either turned a blind eye, or been cowed into silence. Whatever the case, shall be clarified. Whomever funding such activities are liable for damages and prosecution. (6) Wonderful HK shall emerge freer, and stronger, with all getting the message they needed to get. (7) Forward, to Alibaba day, and onward to Greater Bay remainder of the century

Re <<trapped ... campuses ... buns>> Took the Jack to Causeway Bay to shop for replacement Kindle at the computer mall, do lunch at our favorite dumpling restaurant, and to survey the damage of the street kinetics All good, that the Kindle was good value, the restaurant crowded, lively, waiting queue long, and food good, and saw a few totaled shops belonging to mainland china interest The rioters have essentially and inexplicably turned on the general population ... interesting strategy and curious tactic ... to p*ss-off the population and anger the prison guards ... ... but then the mob does not and never thinks. I feel bad for the kids went into the melee without deliberation and is totally messing up own future, for rule-of-law means the law rules.
