  1. Crazy how at 8:37 she talks about freedom of speech and as the camera zooms out, sprayed in black, the words “all I know is I won’t go speechless”

    1. @Don’t Get Caught Slipp’n those “cleaning” people are organized for CCP television popaganda, would you go out and “clean” the street when there are tear gas and petro bombs ?

  2. 6 months! This would’ve lasted maybe 6hrs in America. As soon as a possible physical threat is identified its game over out here.

    1. That’s peanuts for rioters who trampled on others human rights & freedom. They are the best of rioters manipulated by uncle Sam.

    2. Police has been too soft so the mobs become more and more violent! Had this happened in US. These mobs must have been shot to death months ago!

    3. @marcus kappe They’ve been throwing Molotovs since July/August, although they really ramped up the production last month.

    4. @marcus kappe There were guns, and many, many deaths. Are these kids ready for that? Because most of Hong Kong is not.

    1. Judging from the buildings… She was quite safe. She was quite far away from the frontline. Yep, there will be stray tear gas now and then. But quite safe for sure. (Which is good)

    2. @Teddy The Bear I think their point was having a symbol of socialism and dishonesty on her helmet probably wasn’t the best way to get along with people who are fighting a dishonest socialist fascist government.

    3. Rioters actually love western media. Unlike the cops, they are idle until they don’t want to be, so they have all the time in the world to approach reporters and ask them to portray things a certain way.

      Journalists who haven’t spent time in Hong Kong wouldn’t know any better.

    1. Terrorist kill people and ,have hostages, threats etc. Theres a distict difference but some actions do fall into other categories but not all

    2. @venom5552111 Terrorism = The unlawful use of violence and intimidation and to answer your points they have murdered a 70 year man ,set another on fire ,taken hostages and they don’t make threats but beat up anyone that disagrees with them , countless abuse of HK citizens ..stop making excuses for these inhuman kids.

  3. The world needs to give those peoples weapons to fight back. or let those come to the US to be a temporary citizen.
