Skirmishes break out in Hong Kong mall amid counter rallies

It is too bad there is no "Mohandas Gandhi" to set the framework for the least amount of violence possible. True, the revolution that will be celebrated October 1st involved a far-greater number of "casualties," but this student-age group's attempt to preserve/build up some democracy also has fallen into unnecessary and degrading violent acts. Even others' property if protected in a spirit of "come join us" can work for the good. Preserving a person's livelihood and life can be a sort of hospitality aiming at "converting" all and sundry to one's cause. In the case that one CANNOT win by warfare, such a non-violent alternative may be the only other viable way. (Violence in general is a form of despair: like Billy Budd in the novel "Moby Dick" [HAWTHORNE], the violent person indicates that s/he has given up all hope of communicating by words and body language.)

Christ...are you naive ou a plain playing stupid ?

China regime is a fascist country.

HG until now is not...Violence for them IS a dispair reaction against a country who want to crush them, like doing the same for more than 60 years in mainland.

I AM HONGKONG.

LONG LIVE A FREE HONGKONG !

Can't help but wonder about these supporters of Beijing....

Can't help but wonder about these supporters of Beijing....

Oh, I sure this not by accident. For weeks now with these protests literally every single person in HK was on the same page, not an incident and then Beijing were starting the threats but they know the world is watching them and they know in this day and age of the media they can’t get away with another Tiananmen Square incident, so how and what is the best way to combat this? Flood HK with thousands of young mainland Chinese supporters. It’s just so obvious and so pathetic.

Billy Budd is a novel. Did you mean “and” Moby Dick?

You are so misinformed. Read up before you post.

Democracy ? Let Japan have it, and China has peace.

Mask the same face, practice the same violence, promote the same extremism, spread the same hatred, under the same name, with the same color, from the same book, sing the same song, use the same message, against the same law, destroy the same peace: Terrorists are terrorists, they are the same.

Good luck Hong Kong! The world supports you in your war against the non-democratic tyranny of the CCP.

with the same color, from the same book, sing the same song, use the same message

Sounds like the stuff that filthy old butcher Mao used to promote.

Democracy ? Let Japan have it, and China has peace.

China has peace? How? By oppression? If you mean that, then sure.

bass4funk, does China occupy Japan ? If that is not peace, then let us have a peace you want.

does China occupy Japan ? If that is not peace, then let us have a peace you want.

They occupy “freedom”,how do you feel about that?

Democracy ? Let Japan have it, and China has peace.

Democracy was bestowed upon Jaoan by the US. Japan was on track to be a totalitarian state like China right up until the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Just ask the Tibetans, Uighurs, and political dissidents how much peace Chiba had.

*China has. Chiba had the same facists overlords as the rest of Japan.
