    "If people wearing black committed any criminal offences, and you bring them to justice, that's fair. But why don't you do the same when the criminals are wearing white?" - Hong Kong's lawyers took this question to the streets on Aug 7. http://sc.mp/p24q  #hongkongprotestspic.twitter.com/JI8bMLXwHY

        Stop protecting the rioters. The lawyers are being irresponsible by comparing unfounded accusations that the police aren't been fair. The speeches are inflammatory & instigating. This may very well be the final straw tat will break Beijing's inaction.

        That's because they are no longer following Hong Kong's laws anymore. They are now following Communist China's "laws" or rather lawlessness.

        Things different. One is a violent revolution, one is a fight, the official will certainly deal with the violent revolution first.

        It is elementary law that the Deputy Public Prosecutor has the discretion who to charge and who not to charge. Any student of law knows this.
