        Agree with protestors' anti-extradition stance,but have uneasy feeling they're overplaying hand.Lam has suspended bill,so maybe protests should also be suspended.Fear continued protests will lose support of many HKers & goad Beijing to send in troops,so HK loses current freedoms.

        Normal: all formed colonized people need to relieve the ACCUMULATED RESENTMENT, which turns against their own people and in a self destructive instinct. POST COLONIAL HISTORY. The MOB and the violence of the SLAVE seeking the APPROVAL of the MASTER.

        Police need to be tough. Give the protestors an inch, they want a yard!

        I am more than proud of these people. They are determined not to have another Tiananmen Square. It’s etched in their minds how easily freedom can be lost. USA needs to learn this.
