Defiant Students Give Hong Kong Leader Ultimatum

It will be interesting seeing what China's reaction is to this.  

[arch stanton]

We told you that you could hold elections. We never said anything about selecting the candidates.

[Adam]

It's going well

 

[nate]

I think they are fine.  China is historically kind and forgiving toward protesters.

 

Remember the time that all their tanks queued up to meet that guy carrying his groceries in Tianamen Square?

Or the parade for the Dali Lama.

That's a heavy as **** photo

[Adam]

I don't think they brought enough guys

[nate]

We bitch and moan quite a bit about our government, but nothing like a picture to remind us how lucky we are.

[Lhalo]

I like how that soldier is aiming as if his target is 200 yards away.

"These Chinese terrorists must be brought to justice. They are the biggest threat to modern freedom on the planet. They must be eradicated. What's that? Their guns are bigger than ours? They own our economy? They control much of the world' s oil supply? Oh, nevermind. Carry on.

What the hell does that have to do with anything?!

 

You know, obsessions like this are not healthy.

 

 

edit: If you're referring to a post I made months ago about the Chinese quickly executing a man who stabbed scores of schoolchildren to death, well, that's a lot different than what is probably happening here. This looks like a 'summary' event carried out spontaneously and this woman is most probably a poor victim of murderous soldiers. I wouldn't support that in a million years.

I was expecting a response to Nate like, "we bitch and moan so our government doesn't turn into that"

I would love it if Tobias would respond by saying "It means whatever the hell you think it means"

"This week's student boycott of classes is the latest civil disobedience campaign in Hong Kong which has been seen a series of rallies over the issue of electoral reform. The students' ability to mobilise thousands to fight for democracy has made their support an increasingly important driver of the city's burgeoning civil disobedience movement."

 

this will be worth watching.

Students skipping class.  That almost never happens.

If he was LAPD he would shoot the two guys holding her and have to reload to do it.

Advanced iOS virus targeting Hong Kong protesters: security firm

 

It is unclear how iOS devices get infected with Xsser, which is not disguised as an app.

Lacoon Chief Executive Michael Shaulov told Reuters that Xsser is the most sophisticated malware used to date in any known cyberattack on iOS users.

"This is one the most interesting developments we have seen," he said. "It’s the first real indication that really sophisticated guys are shifting from infecting PCs or laptops to going after iOS devices."

The code used to control that server is written in Chinese. The high quality of the campaign and the fact it is being used to target protesters suggests that it is coming from a sophisticated attacker in China, Shaulov said.

Damn, no more occupy Hong Kong selfies

China tells US to back off over Hong Kong

Send in the Tanks.  And not the vegetarian kind.

[Tank]

You'd be amazed at how much damage we could do.

You know, for peace.

[Hollyw00d]

Cabbage patches are trembling everywhere. Tank is basically their hitler.

Hong Kong Protests Unresolved After Talks Collapse

 

 

Like China/hong Kong was really going to talk anyways.  Get ready for part 2.  Which probably won't end as quietly as part 1.

[TobiasFunke]

Heard a story about how some Hong Kong protestors are waving the British Hong Kong flag. My kind of people right there.
