        Hardcore protesters are dying for the PLA to move in. Absolutely dying for it. As soon as it happens they'll just go home and sleep and big business leaves. They have a plan.

        "Freeze bank accounts suspected of being used to channel money to pay the rioters" may often probably mean freezing their parents' accounts and assets (many parents probably don't even know what they do).

        Apathy is dangerous because we cannot make a difference if we are feeling indifferent. One person might not be able to change the world but even if they could make a dent or change another person’s mind, it is still worth trying!🇭🇰💪

        The show of restraint by the HKSAR 4 months into the destructive mob rule perpetrated by the rioters has been treated as lack of resolve, and downright timidity, which would only embolden more of the same!It’s time to take bold proactive, massive overwhelming force as suggested!

        It sounds like the writer think the Polices are not forceful enough. If yes, I’ve nothing more to say. Do u understand why a government is empowered? And yet you still think polices could hurt citizens by all means, regardless it’s reasonable level of violence. #StandwithHKpic.twitter.com/IkSu4ui7Km

        It’s the difference between democracy and totalarism. It depends what you want and believe. I want democracy. Therefore I believe law making should’t bypassing the legislation process. #democracy
