yours news is outdated. the legislature said they would withdraw that bill way back in july. the protesters been have 5 demands they want met that includes the withdrawal of the extradition bill.

moreys tweet was simply this:
Fight for Freedom. Stand With Hong Kong.”

now these are the demands of the protesters

2019 Hong Kong protests - Wikipedia


what part of moreys tweet contradict the overall demands of the protesters?:jbhmm:

What I don’t understand is why the initial bill is bad. You shouldn’t be able to commit a crime and then flee to Hong Kong to avoid consequence. Or is my understanding of this wrong?

Lebron speaks up on Black issues that directly impact his community such as police killing unarmed blacks. That’s always been his focus, so unless he ignores that for the mighty dollar he didn’t sell out. Let China/Hong Kong sort out there problems.
This is not true, LeBron speaks for people without hope, kids that exist all around the globe.

his own words 3:08

The problem isn’t LeBron taking a stand for them or not. The problem is he basically defended the Chinese government’s actions.

He really should have stayed out of this.

Yeah he made a dumb statement but why aren’t reporters asking Jeanie Buss what she thinks? Or Phil Knight? Why does Brons opinion matter so much he don’t own the Lakers, NBA or Nike.

an extradition bill to charge people suspected of a crime isn't bad but human rights activists worry that china is using this as a trojan horse so that they can now further persecute and prosecute anyone who goes against the CCP. this is a very valid concern considering their record on human right abuses. chinas system of governance is opaque. why would hong-kongers want to subject their fellow citizens and potentially themselves to that system?


would you be cool with the united states government having an extradition treaty with saudi arabia ?

Four days after Aavielle's death, the Cavs followed James' example and invited Charles and his family to a team scrimmage. The Cavs offered Charles box seats and gave him a tour of the court and then the locker room, where he had been hoping to meet James. He stood outside and waited, but a locker room attendant came out to apologize. James had an NBA season to prepare for, a commercial to film -- so many audiences to please.

@Big Boss

LeBron the activist vs. LeBron the athlete

Lebron is a prime example of Twitter activist. He’ll tweet just about anything in support, but when it comes action (i.e. taking 5 minutes after practice to talk to the father of a 5-month killed by drive by), he falls way short. He never mentioned anything about gun violence in Cleveland again.

Okay. That makes a lot of sense, but what has Hong Kong proposed to fix the problem of being used as essentially a “Get out of jail free card”? To me that seems like both parties are getting the short end of the stick here. If I live in Hong Kong I wouldn’t want a bunch of murderers and rapists coming there for refuge.

What do these demands have to do with human rights violation or China lmao

nothing

like I said you don't even know what you're mad about

and quite frankly these demands i stuff I could really shyt about, like i said this is a bunch of nothing

and morey is comment was made to disparage the Chinese government, this entire fiasco, acting like they are some sort of occupying force taking away the rights of the people when that is not the case and has nothing to do with China to be honest

These demands are to the Hong Kong government, not the Chinese
but they are trying to imply is the Chinese government against the people of Hong Kong which isn't the case

that's why is tweet is dangerous

Stand with Hong Kong against WHOM? ITSELF

to an extent that get out of jail free card has always existed with countries that lack extradition treaties with one another.

diplomatic immunity is a get out of jail free card too unless it's waived which is rare.

there aint no easy answers but extradition treaties tend to exists between countries with similar justice systems and one might argue hong-kong and mainland china justice system are too dissimilar.

even countries that have extradition treaties will oppose extradition if the potential punishment for a crime is death or life imprisonment in the other country when it wouldn't be in their own.
