        I agree this is undesirable, but it’s understandable if it’s considered within the context of 3-month long selective law enforcement in favour of pro-gov supporters such as these two uncles attacking #hkprotesters.

        You may wish to know this fact: 1. Seeing people in white clothes holding knife / stick in hand, attack citizens 2. Call police 3. Caller will be arrested by police, the white clothes guards by police and get on taxi. Actually, it’s the matter of OUR OWN LIFE, not the anger.pic.twitter.com/fh4ytQSdBM
