    Chaotic scene in Central as protesters assaulted a van driver. They occupied an underpass in Central, and leaving some vehicles stuck. This man was in the van that was stuck. @SCMPNewspic.twitter.com/jU09jwkFFB

        I think people need to SCMP no longer uphold the value of political neutrality. SCMP is a company own by pro-Beijing conglomerate. The reason of the van Driver being quote and quote "assault" by protesters is because the Driver trying to ran over the protesters with the van.

        The driver tried to run over the protesters first. Please be impartial.

        Intense physical clashes between an angry van driver who tried to breakthrough the tunnel blockage and #AntiELAB protesters. The van's windows were smashed. The driver said protesters should at least leave on road open for others. pic.twitter.com/u0NZZkxeiC

        Because one rioter was about to smash his car with a rod, he was trying to stop it, your video is cropped.

        What kind of insults did this fatty hurl at the protestors? I'm sure he did something to get this beating.

        Oh man, by that logic police should beat up the protesters for hurling verbal abuse at them.

        Stop comparing powerless protestors with public authority armed with guns and teargas. He got beaten as he attempted to crush the protestors like how PLA treated the Tank Man. I find this fair given the police now just omit any crimes committed by pro-Beijing triads.

        Really, one lone unarmed man asking to get through an illegal road block warrants a violent beat up by a mob and his car thoroughly trashed? https://cdn.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/styles/1320w/public/d8/images/2019/07/21/van1.jpeg?itok=W-udLRYh … You asked for law and order yet you're condoning crimes.
