    In a bid to secure international backing, protesters have occupied the arrival hall of Hong Kong International Airport in a sit-in that could last the weekend. http://sc.mp/z0oc  #hongkongprotestspic.twitter.com/bcwutTCqjX

        Where is the trouble, damage? Police? Ahhhh, they are protesting peacefully and not causing any trouble or damage. Sure, blocking some areas, but in general, the public are free to come and go, not kicking the hell out of public if they do not take their leaflet...

        That looks like more than a "handful". The other "side" should bring their numbers out and show their solidarity. So far the only other side to show up were hired gangsters. Democracy is inconvenient, you have to show up and be counted. These protesters know how it's done.

        I’m not sure what this will solve. Seems like it’s just creating chaos and inconvenience. It’s gonna deter tourists from visiting, eventually it’s HK people who will lose. And if the govt asks for help from PRC, all is lost. The young people are idealistic; compromise perhaps?
