I cannot believe China

Has let this Hong Kong protest and riot go on this long.
I think they are about to put a stop to it soon especially with the students holed up in the university.
With all the impeachment crap there is very little news about what is going on in the world.

Fears of a Tiananmen Square-style massacre grew in Hong Kong on Tuesday as up to 200 pro-democracy protesters remained trapped on a university campus as a standoff with police entered its third day.
Carrie Lam, the embattled chief executive of Hong Kong, urged those inside Hong Kong Polytechnic University to put down their weapons and come out, warning 'surrender is your only option'.
Police have already said they would be willing to use live ammunition against the protesters if the situation becomes 'uncontrollable', as anxious parents waiting outside the campus for their children to come out said they feared a massacre.
One mother in her 50s, whose surname is Chan and whose 18-year-old son remains on campus, said: 'I'm worried when the police go in to attack there will be heavy casualties, a Tiananmen 2.0.'
Activists desperate to avoid bloodshed but fearing arrest by the police staged increasingly bold escape attempts. Several people were pictured lowering themselves into the campus sewer system in order to get away.
It comes after several dozen students escaped by clambering down ropes from a bridge on campus on to a motorway below, before being taken away on motorbikes on Monday night.
If you open the link there are some photos of these people really having out with the police. I am really surprised the Police have restrained them selves as much as they have.

Damn shame the entire world is content to sit on the sidelines and watch.
They are fighting for their freedom from Communism - I think we should be helping them.
I agree and the US isn't going to do jack and PO the ChiComs.
Too bad but the time to have done something was 20 years ago.
The irony is so many young people, especially the educated idiot types, want socialism here in the USA. :roll:
I not picking on you but I hear this from lots of people.
Is that really what is happening?
Since the media is not to be trusted I did some research on my own.
Hong Kongers consider themselves "better" (or at least "different") than the rest of China. Therefore their laws protect them should they break a law outside of Hong Kong then return to Hong Kong before they are apprehended. They cannot be extradited to anywhere else in China.
This would be like NYC having a law that says Yorkies are exempt from U.S. laws and are safe as long as they remain in that city. They could rob a 7-11 in Virginia or even Albany and be protected from exradition.
China has changed their laws to bring all their people under one set of laws but their snowflakes are screaming about loosing their freedoms and want other countries to come to their aid.
I suggest we send them Bernie with AOC under one arm and Pelosie under the other arm and Hillary stuffed up his exhaust....with just her butt hanging out. (Is there a cartoonist on this board that could draw this for me?)
In other words, China has an internal issue and the U.S. should stay out of it and even quit reporting on it.
How would we respond if China tried to meddle in our internal issues?
Am I wrong or am I just a cantankerous old fart?
The ChiComms really can't do anything to hurt the US except to Nuke us and they know we would nuke them back twice as hard. The ChiComms cannot project power..............YET. They are working on it by building Air Craft Carriers and large warships along with upgrading the Lift of their Air Force. But they are not even close to the US.
I believe the People of hong Kong are going to get it shoved in and broke off here is the next few weeks.
Like I said I cannot believe its gone on this long. When they turn off the internet and wifi/cable, shut down wireless service and kick out the media you know it will be on and the world will never know how many get disappeared either into a hole or a work camp.
Did you see the pictures of the protesters shoot at the police with Bows? There was a picture of a cop with an arrow in his leg
I am surprised guns haven't come out of the wood work.
We are in complete agreement there. I think all that has happened by the US becoming the worlds police is that many more nations/peoples hate us than previously, and we have spent a LOT of US money and lives protecting those who often do not want us there anyway. Largely it is a lose - lose situation.
You would probably feel that Belgium should keep their hands off that which does not involve them- and I would agree with you.
Of course there is no easy way to help them.
But I'd rather point that out then root for the Chinese which our liberal media is doing.
That would make sense.
The 50 or so left will get the farm. They have made Molotov cocktails and are armed with Bow and arrows. I guess they plan to fight it out to the end.
China today warned the US to not interfere. Beijing today said 'Don't say we didn't warn you!' to the US. The Senate passed a bill supporting the protesters and will place more sanctions on China if they get too violent with the rioters.
Like stated above I don't think we should interfere but................those people are screwed.
They have my utmost respect, for they are true patriots. They are willing to do what most in this country are not. Take note, they are not writing letters to their congress person............
I have a good friend who's son works in China and loves the place. I am sure it is different for him than for the regular Chinese citizen. He got his eyes opened when he was a at party where someone smoked grass, the cops busted the party and arrested everyone. He had a few tense days but they figured out who was smoking grass and let him go. The ChiComm Government has a ZERO tolerance on drug use and possession.
They are killing drug uses and deals by the dozens. It is officially sanctioned murder...................but its better than what is happening to Mexico.
China does not mess around and as I said before I cannot believe the ChiComm Government has let this go on for this long.
