    America is full of fence sitters like the lib we are arguing with

    Neither fish nor fowl they only exist to complain but never to pick a side and work to make things better

    I'm not sure Ethereal is a liberal. I see her more as an independent with some libertarian ideas, some liberal ideas, and some Objectivist ideas, but she most certainly is not a conservative, much to her credit.

    Besides, the conservatives are far more dangerous to liberty than the liberals. Why? Because they keep betraying the principles they claim they hold, capitalism and individual rights--as in tariffs, drug laws, and anti-abortion legislation, just to name a few, not to mention their effort to control Facebook and Twitter.

    peaceful protest sure, but there is nothing right by beaten bystander/vandalizing subway, its counter productive.

    I didn't look over the cause, in several post I mention I support peaceful protest, but not beaten up officer or bystander, and not trashing public property, its counter productive, and will not achieve anything. also you didn't answer my question, whether the officer has right to defend himself while he was take a beaten.

    btw your favor potus just asking China to investigate biden and he also support china on HK.

    Yes

    He/she/it is an independent - aka a fence sitter

    That breed prefers to be against whoever is in power so that they can aways attack but never have to defend

    As for far left liberal institutions like Facebook I just want them to be neutral

    Since they are not I am open to treating them like any other utility

    This is what the militia is armed with in places without the 2nd Amendment when they have to battle an oppressive government

    And therein lies your error, and the betrayal of the values the Conservatives claim they uphold and honor. Lies and BS.

    Conservatives have never been for no government and anarchy

    If Facebook is harming the public in a big way government should intervene

    really you think few guns gonna give HK chance, its gonna end up like Syria. few pistol/semi-automatic rifle is not gonna make difference against 1 million men army equip with tanks/drone/jet etc. If HK had guns and use it against the police, it will provide CCP excuse to send in its massive army and arm the police, it will become a bloodbath. I support 2nd amendment but if I see a tank coming, i'm not gonna use AR15 against it. Small arms not gonna make a dent against modern military.

    i doubt it. few pistol/semi auto not gonna win against 2/3rd most powerful military in the world. if its a small africa nation, then maybe. as soon as HK start getting armed, china will send in its military etc, and they will be severally outnumber, out equipped and out trained.

    Sorry, i don't wish the queen special longevity becausr of her position

    I do however wish a few people would have died as infants, carl marx, little joey stalin( not his real name) mr lenon and chairman mao. The world would be a better place without them.

    Regan, Hitler and Churchill would not coming to power would have saved more lives. And too bad Lenin died when he did becuase he was just about to purge Stalin and that would have saved the world a lot of grief.

    Veiled protester beats man for saying ‘We are ALL Chinese’ as Hong Kong imposes ban on face masks

    A disturbing video shows a masked protester beating an office worker for calling for unity between Hong Kong and mainland China. The footage was taken on the same day that Hong Kong announced a ban on face masks.

    A video published by Ruptly on Friday shows a man shouting to a group of journalists “We are all Chinese.” But before he is able to enter his office building, a masked protester pounces on him, punching him repeatedly on the shoulder, neck and head.

    Hunched over against a wall, the office worker is later seen being escorted to safety by a group of colleagues.

    The unsettling footage was taken on the same day that the city’s chief executive, Carrie Lam, announced that she would invoke a British colonial-era emergency law to impose a temporary ban on face masks. The move follows chaotic clashes between demonstrators and police that occurred on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

    Lam warned that violent protesters – almost all of them masked – were “destroying the city” and that authorities could not allow the situation to get “worse and worse.”

    The ban, which will be put into effect on Saturday, applies to all types of face coverings and will be enforced for all public gatherings, even ones which have been officially sanctioned by the government.

    American colonists would tar and feather colonists who sided with English authorities and enforced English laws. And after they tarred and feathered the traitors, they would parade the treasonous bastards down street and run them out of town as their fellow citizens and neighbors flung stones and tossed pig and cow waste at them.

    It’s a revolution against tyranny. It’s a battle to the death, and it’s not those seeking liberty who are destroying Hong Kong, it’s the CPC and their vile and evil Hong Kong Chinese sympathizers.

    Rot in hell, bastards!

    First of all who are the tyrants? If the majority of the people in Hong Kong support the government, wouldn't that make the protesters the tyrants?

    Hong Kong is finally passing a law to make wearing a mask illegal. Let these bastards reveal themselves. Of course now they're protesting against that.

    America is better for us. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else - yet by the same token, people in other nations feel their own standards and laws are better than ours. So how can we pass judgement on their preferences and try to impose our own beliefs and standards on them?
