Hong Kong goes on Strike

Random thought:
If the protesters and the police clash, will it be the most massive kung-fu fight ever?
Why aren't we over there setting up cameras?

By the time we got them set up it would be over because they're fast as lightning.  And, frankly, how quickly this has degenerated is a little bit frightening.  Given how the PRC dealt with Tienanmen, the PRC can pull off their mass-oppression outside the view of cameras with expert timing.

They generally don't realize that ye old days weren't that great. It was more that "proper" folks didn't talk about the issues. Folks with any mental illness (to include rape or molestation victims) ended up institutionalized, plenty of diseases were not treatable, women and minorities had theoretical legal rights but in practice were often not allowed to use them, failure to win in Korea, blatantly illegal and unconstitutional domestic spying and internal security measures were being taken against Americans, etc.

Many people also had more to do, and therefore less time to dream up ways to get into trouble.
