    (1) No Government in the World will allow and tolerate illegal assembly, protests that lead into violent and riot - that hurt people, vandalise publice property, infrastructure and disrupt public services.

    (2) Not in Thailand that declare martial law.
    Not in France that dispatch riot police to quell unrest by yellow vest.
    Not in Indonesia where the President dispell troops to quell unrest and burning of government buildings in Papua.
    Not in India where it impose curfew in Kashmir.
    Not in Israel where it dispatch troop to quell unrest.
    Not in US where Trump dispatch National Guard to stop migrants from Mexico.

    (3) Arresting protest organiser of unlawful assembly to keep law and order - is expected from any Government when unrest is breaking law and order.

    If Hongkie hooligans & rioters take to the streets of Hong Kong on Saturday in defiance of a police ban on a major rally, then the HK police should exercise their full powers to do whatever it takes to ensure peace on HK.
    In event the HK police & security forces cannot deal with the crisis, then a state of emergency should be declared, full curfews imposed, and possibly the country China's national guards mobilized to take over the security of HK.. 

    All that is the rights of China as a sovereign nation over her territories.

    I see the western media keep calling them 'pro-democracy' protesters even though it is apparent that they are most intolerant of views other than their own...

    I do not know if jaykay William passo & moo, the 1st 5 responders are singaporeans < or hired by BJ PRC gov to help add oil to HK CL gov, oso known as BJ-backed HK Legislation, becos u certainly do not sound like the typical sinpolang.

    I am a singapo aunty, age 60, Christian, and I support HK young people coming out to ask for transparency and accountability in the HK gov process....it is obvious so much is coming under the mother state's control....

    I hv lived and worked in HK b4. Love the place and people, v.hardworking n genuine...my last description "v.genuine" I can't say that if lao xi's gov up north now.here are some concrete evidence....ever since this whole outcry against the extradition bill started 13 weeks ago, BJ side has been v.v.v.v. quiet....I hv cable news...daily I tuned in to their international cctv and oso previously a lot less-state=controlled phoenix and sister channels, you know what?? I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING MENTIONED, NOT A SINGLE WHISPER OF the 2million-throng walking peaceably down KH's main thoroughfares...NOT ANYWHERE in China's 
    local and international news channels...

    …..while elsewhere in all the world, evry journalist worth his/her salt are observing if not reporting on it...me likewise, I observed with a growing interest. At first, I thot it will die down ..the HKongers are too pragmatic, $-conscious, will not let it affect their economy and financial livelihoods...etc etc…

    BUT NO, it did not die down... remember, hooligans from the N came and ANY O HOW, really any-o-how beat up innocent MTR users at latenight...literally hooligans all white uniformed carrying batons smashing left and right....and then of course if you read the news, weekend after weekend, the calls for justice and accountability were more or less ignored....come on, men, there are at least another 27 years left of that 1997 treaty signed back then, when HK was so-called returned to CHINA < TRY pronouncing it Trumpian-style, chy-na >

    NOT even half-life and their scared young kids got to go on a mass rally asking to retract some crazy law that madam carrie the blue wanted to pass in legislation...no way, not after we have seen and heard and read and some know personally what it is like to be extradited to chy-na and be subjected to some laws ?? there??

    so, no, no, if you are a Singaporean try to put yourself in the young HKger shoes, see if it is a bit unconfortable b4 you continue taking up the pro-BJ ( which only fairly recently air the news, because now they want their own pp, and oso the world plus HK's certain tykoons etc...buy their side of the story of rioters and terrorism and all....hey, you are 12 weeks late reporting the real news...show some flake and at least tell the truth....yes, the kids and perhaps a radical segment done some v.bad things, BUT they sincerely apologised ( at the HK International airport-- check out all the avavilable news...of course if you are still in mainland CHY-NA, your internet can't show too much.

    So, the above news artcle ends of quite rightly I quote "China has responded with a campaign of intimidation..." 

    Yes,that is certainly TRUE...they were "MUMM" for eleven twelve long weeks now hey are out with a force....with the Christians brothers and sisters on the streets < GOD, please protect Your own, becos there might be some wolves amgst the lambs >

    HONGKONG people, ADD OIL "JIA YOU" !! < one voice speaking out for you all -- add oil, add oil ! :) >

    Peaceful Assembly is a Universal Suffrage not a Police warning not to assemble.

    Law should make the rallies/demos organizers be responsible for any property damaged or life lost or injury.

    TV live showing HK police is using coloured water from the water canons.
    Those with blue colour on their clothing could be the targets for arrest by the police any where in HK.

    Your right to assembly has encroached upon other people's freedom to move around in a civil way. You have resorted to gangsterism through use of mass number. This is not a Asian culture.

    China is an open air prison. Cannot practice religion freely. Cannot vote or run for election. Cannot criticize leaders. Cannot watch or read what you want. We salute these brave true Chinese patriots of HK resisting the Marxist locust invasion.

    Police should also stationed quick response forces in strategical positions. Armed minimum with water cannon and sniper to disperse the rioters and shoot down the riot leaders! No pity and perform your lawful roles. Get the black reporters out of their way, ban them from interfering in the midst of the Police actions. Hold these black reporters back at the back till the riot is over.
