        Whilst we do understand the pan-democrats have their political agenda, they should be working alongside the HK administrators instead of going against every law or proposal aimed at ending the riots. Cant they see the reason(s) for the HK mask law?

        Yeah.. the cops claimed they shot dyed chemical water to “protect the mosque”... the enactment of an unreasonable law and police’s arbitrary arrest to “save hk people” really make sense!!🙃

        It is not a question of police wanting more power but rather there is a urgent need to return peace and order to the community, which is necessary to enjoy fundamental freedoms for all HK citizens whom has already endured over 21 week's of disturbances!

        HK rioters are conscious of their guilt, n know they are engaging in criminal activities when they are rioting behind their masks-no difference from the Members of Ku Klux Klan committing racial crimes in their mass rallies. The masks can only hide their faces, not their shame!

        What??? This is my first time hearing save young people by a evil law. People in #HongKong, not only Youngers, standing up and speak their voice. The government should listen to them. Law can’t solve them. Evil law makes more people come out only.

        Firstly,the #AntiMaskBan in #HongKong is not the same as the Canada Secondly,enacting this law to solve problem is absolutely adding fuel to fire as it is enacted by introducing emergency law Thirdly,do you admit the targets are young people and who is running their life is CCP!pic.twitter.com/FCsOzy3dAT
