Hong Kong cleans up trail of destruction left from violent protests on China’s National Day

Subscribe to our KZbin channel for free here: sc.mp/subscribe-youtube
Clean-up work was underway across Hong Kong the day after violent protests marred grand celebrations to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
The violence escalated on October 1, 2019, despite the city being under virtual lockdown since the morning, with many shops and MTR railway stations closed. Marches and rallies quickly descended into chaos, including a police officer opening fire with a live round at a protester for the first time.
Protesters vandalised government offices and MTR railway stations, as well as businesses seen to have close ties with China or for voicing disapproval with the ongoing protests.

[@GeorgeMartinus]

Unfortunately, that's their scenario. Bring chaos to the country until its economy plunge to the bottom. When HK turns to ash they just simply ask western countries (US) to intervene n support the country. Of course it's illegal for any country in the world to get political support from foreign countries, but it's in gray area if the country can ask support from western NGOs, which is the same. One of them could be NED. . Most of HKers actually don't want independence from China. They who want to separate HK from China is just small numbers. According to protest organizers, there are about 1 mil people join in protest. But compare to HK total population which is 7.5 mil, 1 mil is still minority. It's not even reach 1/4 of them all. The problem is.... this silent majority are now living in threats. They cannot express themselves or at least tell the truth. Because there are several cases of shop owners got their place harassed just because they support HK police. Just look at Toby Guu's videos and check his Instagram, he got some life threats on the comment n message just because he showed the violence nature of these black protesters.

Celestial Being please also consider that Hong Kong is advocating for a different level of freedom with Universal Suffrage and freedom of press and speech, of which Malaysia does not even fully have. It’s a different battle. If contesting a government and “rising to arms” when a government does not support the people, America would have been born an anarchist republic.

What do you think the right way to do...chain the arrested Protesters in connected chains or belts and force them round the clock to clean up the mess. What does these lot know about Democracy and Freedom?. vandalism, violence, etc. Those who instigated a lot behind the line like Joshua, Martin, Denise, etc will jump ship and plain sailing to US, Canada, UK, etc. for a brighter future leaving behind the front liners to face the music and black listed in Hong Kong to rot their future....

Time for Jack Ma to fire the Editorial team.

Dont forget who sent the cleaners to go clean up?! They are part of the government too...and the traffic police who helped direct the traffic for the sake of public safety.

[@Tonyyail]

Any arrest nope!!

[@ramendude246]

Is it over?

[@vanessayap7905]

Sooooo is the protest over?

[@yanwong523]

The protest is a childish and a foolish thing to do, it is not glory, it is stupidity, nor did it do anything benefitial to their own home, only making it worse.

[@youguanhen9389]
