Pro-Democracy Protesters in Hong Kong Continue the Struggle

Godspeed.

Hong Kong police have used tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon to disperse crowds as tens of thousands marched in the city, defying a ban.

Demonstrators lit fires, threw petrol bombs at riot police and attacked the parliament building.

An event to mark five years since Beijing ruled out fully democratic elections was banned in China’s special administrative region.

On Friday, several key pro-democracy activists and lawmakers were arrested.

The protest movement grew out of rallies against a controversial extradition bill – now suspended – which would have allowed criminal suspects to be sent to mainland China for trial.

    Will any socialist Democrat come out and rip China, and renounce their godless, socialist leftism?

    Kevin do you want someone to come out in support of the protesters?

    Pat,

    Everyone, including Trump.

    Pat,

    But in his second breath Bernie praises the centralization of socialist economic power that makes this kind of abuse possible.

    He should totally renounce socialism and it’s long history of evil.

    Oh well, it goes to show you can’t please everyone.

    Pat,

    IT is about recognizing inherently evil leftist ideology.
