How could china have handled the NED funded protest in Hong Kong better in your opinion?

[–] Joncash2@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

In HK: the police calmed the protests with no deaths attributed to the police, only the protestors such as the girl's suicide and the man they lit on fire.

In USA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiU8sL7Yq9Q

But yeah, China bad

The man lit on fire survived, but there was the old dude the protestors hit with a brick [that you link below, but he wasn't the same as the arson victim] and that protestor who fell off a ladder or something and died.

Right, I knew 2 died, I got them mixed up a tiny bit. Below I have provided sources.

I didn't know about the suicide, so debateably it was 3. Anyway, I appreciate your integrity.

Wait, the HK protesters had one of their girl's suicide and a man lit on fire...? Give me a good source on that...

Why do you wait for someone to ask?

[–] Joncash2@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

I like people to be interested and want the info. I don't know if you've noticed from my conversation here, the majority of people just want to argue with me and not actually learn something.
