Don't cry that if police beats these so-called protesters -- instead, please thank HK Police for not shooting most of them as most regimes will do so during a war. 2. "many people have to sacrifice for better future for all", what if many people do NOT see any "better future" that can come out from these kind of violence, vandalism, arson, and lynching? Beat them to agree with you? that is what "better future" means? that is pure fascism, and yet they claim that they are fighting for "democracy". 3. HK government did listen to the millions of protesters in June, the extradition bill has been stopped in June and officially claimed dead in July. Don't hijack those protesters in June, many of them do NOT agree what happened afterwards, especially after this has become escalating violent riots based on lies spread on social medias. 4. 5 demands? The extradition bill is already dead long time ago. The rest demands are either ridiculous or something that is out of control of HK government. Respect the demands does not mean the government has to accept all of them, not to say that many people are also against this so-called 5 demands. 5. Want government to accept everything that you want , otherwise use violence to hijack the whole city and all civilians to force the government to agree? That is just what a spoiled kid or a terrorist will do.

those spoil brats, just out of respect they should let her do what she wanted without bothering her, they talk about freedom of speech, yet they silence whoever dares to speak against them, they talk about democracy but want to impose their view in other. they talk about rule law yet they don't even do themselves. this just shows how wrong these RIOTERS are.

[@youxarexmyxsunshine]

She’s is 70 years old and she alone faced these protesters teaching them a lesson about being “a normal human being” and she’s not afraid to speak her mind and lifted all those heavy equipments all by her self. Tell me how many young people can do this like her? Nobody was there to help her or support her. What an amazing woman. Legend.

There are longer version of this video, why SMP skipped that few seconds show a young voice shouted to this older lady to ask her “Why you not going to dead in that age?”. It is a shame to HK and insane to HK education rules those kind of evil who make this riot become a justice.

Yeah, I have no respect for HK protestors and youngsters anymore. Setting her up, watching as she moves those heavy objects alone, then moving those items back into place... These actions are only inconveniencing the ordinary people of HK, do these rioters even care about the wellbeing of their fellow countrymen? The old lady has a point about the bus driver. There has got to be other ways to show unhappiness, so why are they targeting the working class??

[@canto_v12]

They don't have any respect for anyone. The movement has been hijacked by its worst members because everyone else has moved on with life. The moment you disagree with them they will call you a Blue. You had better hope they don't have you outnumbered because they will want to assault you.
