        @SCMPNews your editor penned an oped the other week which answered your question - "no, the majority support the protestors". Can you really shift position with every article?

        Of course they can, because they present different views from all angles.

        I do not see a silent majority yearning to condemn protests. But as the objectives of the protest remain either spiteful (down with Carrie Lam) or mired in the abstract (liberate HK) and turning ever more violent, I see the majority simply want this senselessness to go away.

        Universal suffrage is never the panacea that the liberal west has been peddling. See how the USA elect presidents. Our liberal politicians here have not offered any convincing alternatives for a better future HK, yet they expect all to support the effort to tear down our society

        No Mr Lhatoo, I find it’s the other way round! I’m surrounded by very vocal pro-blue anti-western colleagues who use disgusting vocabulary to describe the protesters. They’re the ones who intimidate co-workers who don’t agree into silence.

        Protest no. Rioters yes. Very big difference.

        Those who condemn the protests are NOT the silent type. On daily basis, pro-democracy protestors are stabbed, slashed, attacked & insulted by pro-Beijing thugs. Of course pro-Beijing groups conveniently ignore these attacks when they vehemently condemn the targeted vandalism
