Pole-Wielding Men Attack Hong Kong Protesters
- What is happening is a tragedy for Hong Kong. Peaceful protesters are being led down the path of violence by agitators. The majority of protesters are PEACEFUL. The path Hong Kong is on is DISASTER. No Hong Konger will benefit. Stock market crashing, property market will collapse, economy will tank, foreign investors will stay away … no future for the young. Some power appears to be agitating for civil war, breakdown of Hong Kong society. Cui Bono? No Hong Konger benefits.

Fighting broke out in a Hong Kong neighborhood on Monday between protesters and a mob of men wielding long wooden poles. The men swung and threw their poles at the demonstrators who had gathered as part of a citywide general pro-democracy strike. The yellow-helmeted protesters responded by throwing traffic cones, metal barricades and rods of their own.
