given how restrained the government response has been, given the protesters' violence and property damage, i doubt this was coordinated by either gov. other cleverer attritional responses like boycott and pressure on businesses sympathetic to protesters (eg. cathy pacific ceo was forced to resign today for not readily firing few pilots and employee participating in protests) is more likely way they will go, as ordinary people inevitably get tired of rather aimless protests.
- natdempk 7y agoI normally wouldn’t comment on a thread like this, but is this a sock puppet? The protests have pretty clear demands and calling them aimless feels weird.

- sittingnut 7y agokeep repeating the propaganda since facts don't match.
