The Demosisto party of Joshua Wong has shown on Twitter the brutality of police force in HK. They accuse the protestors of vandalism and rioting, yet they use brutality as a tactic. Wong for Executive would bring peace to the city.

Trouble makers are always trouble makers, as terrorists are always terrorists. Any time, any place, no respect of others, no respect of holidays, no respect of humanity, that is the reason for the trouble makers to be eliminated from the streets and put into trash cans where they belong.

The protester violence continues as per usual.
Do the hustle
wow! Such a naive statement. They are protesting the lack of respect for humanity by their Chinese rulers. That is the reason for the trouble!

The Hong Kong police is getting more and more violent, its obvious the leaders in China are directing this hardline approach.
I wish the protestors in Hong Kong a safe Christmas.
May their good work continue in the New Year.

Not according to the World Happiness Reports

And think about it, happy people wouldn't need a very controlling government that keeps them on a tight leash
The raison d'etre of very controlling governments have always been that their people would devolve into chaos without the central authoritarian holding them together
That wouldn't happen to happy people, so should be afforded the widest freedoms

They are resisting the rulers who want total control over HK. Let the HKers decide their fate - not Beijing, not London, not DC, not Rome. They are raging against the Communist machine.
Does 'happiness' mean living under a totalitarian regime based on a bunged-up ideology set up by Mao, a man whose oppressive policies are responsible for the deaths of millions of his own Chinese citizens? I remember Tiananmen Square in 1989, and the pictures of that event that I've seen are sickening, violent, brutal and disgusting. That's what the CCP is all about.
VIVA HONG KONG REVOLUTION! STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS! FIGHT FOR WHAT IS YOURS!

Carrie Lam, YOU are a stooge and a boot-licker for the CCP and therefore unfit to govern HK. Step your ass down from power and let the city residents elect a successor.

Lack of basic freedoms and oppressive tactics and manipulation from the overbearing big brother government that is ruled by a single political group bent on ruling over the people is the CAUSE of the entire mess! What exactly does the Chinese communist party accomplish by putting a ring in the citizens nose and trying to lead them around like an ox? The average human being has free thought. And Beijing thinks they can overpower that? A small group of political power mongers trying to control over a billion human beings? Do unto others, which means the CCP needs to have someone lord over them as they try to do to their own country men and women.
Oppression breeds rebellion and resentment. Freedom inspires contentment and happiness.
