Tens of thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators are surging through the streets of Hong Kong to protest against Beijing’s influence over how the semi-autonomous territory elects its top officials.

Police used several rounds of tear gas to scatter the mostly peaceful crowds that had blocked one of Hong Kong’s main thoroughfares in the early evening, but crowds did not disperse.

I think the us plays it low key unless the British start yapping first. The white house doesn't want to hear Ferguson thrown in their faces

The irony of upset residents in Ferguson, being labelled thugs and looters because they want justice, yet this will probably be played out in the media as people fighting for their freedom against an oppressive government.

 

[Serious]

Cot Damn they're literally policing the situation just like Ferguson, they reports of cops roaming through crowds straight flexing on protesters, not to mention there are reports of police jamming cellphone communication in the area

Police in Hong Kong now armed with rifles. The orange sign reads 'disperse or we fire'.

Sounds like Burma's General Ne Win in '88

This is only about 40 minutes bus ride from where I live brehs, shyt is getting real, like GTA stars
I hope my brehs don't bow down to this communist bullshyt, we want to elect our own leaders, not their puppets.
(however, anyone we elect could be a plant, or be swayed with money, land and bishes)
To answer your question.. Nah. Obama doesn't give a fukk about us.
I could catch a bus and go see this shyt for myself, but seeing it in 1080p on the news is enough. Some of my brehs getting tear gassed and pepper sprayed though
Kinda glad this isn't American police tho

So these people would rather be ruled by the British than their own. Because I didn't see them protesting when the British were in charge. Not to mention the fact that Hong kong belongs to China. It's part of China and they have every right to reclaim their territory.

On the other hand I do understand why they might want some form of democracy compared to mainland China, but at the end of the day the Chinese have every right to reclaim whats theirs.

The British won't JACK shyt. Thatcher's warmongering ass couldn't do anything in 1984 when she signed the agreement handing Hong Kong back to China. They sure as hell won't do anything now. David Cameron just recently got sonned and regulated for merely meeting the Dalai Lama.

The days of gunboat diplomacy are over.
