As Deadline Passes, Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Protesters Attacked By "Pro-Government" Mob (131 Injured) - Caught On Tape
UDPATE: AP reports, Hong Kong protesters shelve talks with government after mob tries to drive them from streets.
It appears the government's "wait-'em-out" tactic is working (optically) as The WSJ reports, angry crowds (of pro-government gangs) descended on pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong on Friday, causing clashes and threatening to derail talks with the government. After Leung's refusal to step-down ahead of the protesters' deadline, government officials called for dialog but OccupyCentral exclaimed "if the government does not immediately prevent the organized attacks on supporters of the Occupy movement, the students will call off dialogue on political reform with the government." Some protest opponents tore down banners with words calling for Mr. Leung to resign, while others removed tents set up by pro-democracy crowds to shelter themselves.
- *H.K. HOSPITALS HANDLED 37 PROTEST-RELATED INJURIES TODAY
- *H.K. HOSPITALS HANDLE CUMULATIVE 131 INJURIES SINCE SUNDAY
Occupy Central co-founder Benny Tai urged the pro-democracy crowds in Mong Kok to leave the site immediately and to return to the Admiralty district. Student leaders condemned the violence but said they will continue the protests in a nonviolent way. "I hope students continue to keep calm," Mr. Leung said. "We don't want to cause any conflicts between student protesters and police."

And then this happened...
- *HONG KONG STUDENTS SAYS VIOLENCE LEAVES THEM WITH NO OPTIONS
Hong Kong head Leung refused to step-down...
As a midnight deadline approached Thursday, Mr. Leung refused protesters’ demands to resign but said Ms. Lam would meet with protesters in an effort to resolve the political crisis that has choked traffic and paralyzed some of Hong Kong’s busiest districts for the past week.
The announcement from Mr. Leung—just minutes before a midnight deadline—was the first hint of conciliation from the city’s Beijing-backed government since the standoff began.
“I hope students continue to keep calm,” Mr. Leung said. “We don’t want to cause any conflicts between student protesters and police.”
The protesters had threatened to block more government buildings if they were ignored. Tensions had increased over the day Thursday when police were seen loading supplies of antiriot gear, including rubber bullets, into the government compound that houses Mr. Leung’s office. Police had also warned demonstrators that they “will not tolerate any illegal surrounding of government buildings.”
And pro-democracy protesters sought dialog with the government (or else)...
After Mr. Leung’s announcement, the Hong Kong Federation of Students, one of the main protest groups, urged the government to set a time for a public meeting. It also called on Hongkongers to continue the occupation.
“Whether the protest will escalate depends on the dialogue” with Ms. Lam, it said.
Authorities have decided to play a 'wait-and-see' approach...
Since Sunday, authorities have stepped back from direct confrontations in an attempt to wait them out, but the police warnings and movement of antiriot gear appeared to mark the limits of the city’s willingness to tolerate disruptions.
Almost half of the city’s bus network has been affected by the various blockades. Schools in many parts of Hong Kong island were closed Friday.
Within the protest groups, signs of fatigue were apparent. “I don’t know how much longer we can go on,” said Alan Leung, 17. “I’ll be here, but we need more protesters to come, day and night. It’s going to be a long campaign.”
And, as NY Times reports, pro-government 'gangs' have begun to attack the pro-democracy supporters...
Protesters occupying one of Hong Kong’s most crowded areas came under assault on Friday from men seeking to break apart their pro-democracy sit-in, tearing down their tents and surrounding demonstrators who said their attackers were pro-government gangs.
...
As rain fell, a couple dozen men stormed into the encampment in the middle of Nathan Road, a major thoroughfare. They pushed and punched past the protesters, grabbed the scaffolding of canopies and pulled until they collapsed in heaps.
Jones Lam, a 63-year-old retiree, was one of about two dozen men who began assaulting the protest camp early in the afternoon. “They blocked the road,” Mr. Lam said of the protesters. “They blocked the people going to work.”
The surrounded protesters linked arms in an effort to protect their tents and barricades, but the assault continued, pushing them back until one large tent remained. Police moved between the two groups, but had difficulty keeping the two sides apart.
...
“The more radical groups are suspicious and think the government is trying to trick us,” Mr. Wong said. “This continuous tension, it’s the immediate consequence of having no leaders.”
“At present, the status quo is confusion,” said Albert Ho, a prominent pro-democracy lawyer who is a member of the city’s Legislative Council and the Democratic Party. “I would say that we are still trying to find a strategy to sustain the movement and to preserve peace.”
Benny Tai, an associate professor of law at the University of Hong Kong who has been at the forefront of a leading pro-democracy group, told reporters that “trust can solve our problems.”
“This movement doesn’t have an actual leader, but it’s not without direction, not without a goal, and there are ways to handle the different views of the movement’s participants,” he said. “We share the same goal. Our methods may not be the same in actual scenarios. I hope everybody can persist in the spirit of peaceful resistance.”
* * *
The optics of Chinese police tear-gassing young Hong Kong protesters did not play well on the world stage but pro-government-gangs (a la Tahrir Square) are exercising free-well to stop the protesters' disruption... we are sure they are handsomely paid...
- *H.K. POLICE DENY ALLEGATIONS THEY WORKED WITH TRIADS
Hong Kong police are using minimal force, treating occupiers’ “illegal actions” lawfully and won’t resort to force unless they have to, People’s Daily says in a commentary on website.
Protesters are challenging local police through provocation, cursing, attacking, and spreading rumors of police firing guns
Leung speech yday shows HK govt’s “utmost sincerity” towards perserving social stability and people’s interest, preserving rule of law, and sticking to “bottom line”
Only “radical minority” of protesters are testing the law, while “the majority” support HK govt’s protection of rule of law
Protesters’ “farce” won’t gain support, will be “despised by the world”

Govt instigators I'm sure.
When will the Chinese government use the convenience of Ebola to dispurse this crowd? All it takes is just one report of Ebola in HK and you'll see billions of Chinese don their blue/green health masks and run for cover.
send in the ninja's
:D
Come on. The demonstrators and the counter-demonstrators are both paid for by CIA money. this is how chaos is generated. Wake the fuck up.
Thank you.CIA incited agitation is what they do.
America ruins the world to rule it.
so every protest is CIA instigated? there is no such thing as a genuine uprising against govt?
Can't think of an uprising against government offhand. Just uprisings against someone else's government.
Everyone plays King of the Mountain, not get rid of the King of the Mountain. Mankind may never grow up.
As for the CIA, if it looks like a benefit to the US, rest assured the CIA is behind it.
The CIA is too cheap to actually pay rioters. The PRC knows cash is king.
The Ukrainians only got bags of cookies from the CIA pukes. THe HK students are just working for hashtags and slogans. Suckers.
NY times is shit, you please look at numerous videos and pictures, those are not "pro beijing gangs" those are shoppers and nearby residents who remove those obstacles/tents!
Fuck western media and wish Ebola / ISIS fighters spread to your headquarters.
Ninjas are Japanese.
You make funny?
"Everybody was Kung-Fu fighting..."
Clean shaven, butch haircuts, 2" wide web belts, jack boots, lethal kill skills, and snap to attention with a ten-hut. Yep.
if only the pro "democracy" protestors had something they could use to defend themselves. something they could carry on their person that was relatively inexpensive and would greatly deter anyone with malevolent intentions. they could use this, let's say, self defense weapon, to keep these government hired goons at bay.
Former Mayor Bloomberg and ex-NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly must be advising the Chinese Communists. Next, the government thugs will start molesting the women protestors, a tried and true technique of Kelly's police force. It runs in Kelly's family, his son is a rapist who dodged rape charges since the Manhattan DA is Cyrus Vance Jr., the most corrupt DA in New York County history. Charles Hynes, ex-DA of Kings County, takes the all-around title for the most corrupt DA ever in New York City. New York City DAs, with the allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal "stop and frisk" arrests for possession of concealed marijuana, have outdone the DAs in the early 1930s, when the city's vice squad arrested and jailed woman on the false testimony of guys like Chico Acatuna, a "recruiter" working for a mob compulsory prostitution gang run by Lucky Luciano.
According to news reports, the molestation of female protestors have already begun.
How to stop the molestation is as follows. Each female protester should place a prosthetic penis in their pants. When the cop reaches inside, he will find a nasty surprise. I suggest using some lube to enhance the desired effect.
A "pro-government mob"; hmm. now why is it I don't think I'll ever see a real pro-government mob.? The concept doesn't even make any sense. Oh well.
Big Trouble In Little China
Doubleguns: "Govt instigators I'm sure."
LOL. As opposed to US Gov instigators on the opposing side.
Is that U.S.?
Ukraine East
Fair share of chaos distribution moving east. Ran out of bird flu and Sars.
How much or the pro-government fucks paid?
Pay is one dead river pig or 10 bird flu chickens per week.
One non-execution per servitude.
HKD 300 according to Apple Daily, that is about $40 USD
The same, or more, or less than the anti govt fucks?
Another cheesy themed color revolution.

Vicky Nuland and Co. using these gullible kids to start a proxy war with China. China, like Russia, is wise the schemes. besides, someone should remind these kids about the failures of 'democracy'... just look at how great it worked out in the U.S. and the EU. freedom it ain't.
We pawned some folks.
DeMOCKracy!
Oh, the Mockery of it all !
Oh, the deMockery of it all !
it's punchier, no?
Word on the street: $1000 HKD per goon.
And if you watch the local news feed they look like extras from a Jackie Chan film.

"Rent-A-Mob". It's the New Normal for build up to Regime Change.
LOL. We'll see your Mob, and raise you with a bigger or louder mob.
Do "Mob-4-Rent" groups have Demo tapes? (Pun intended on "Demo" tape).
Looks like the CIA is getting seriously outbid.
Mongkok is Triad central. Read this:Now that's a story I'd like to see: Why the HK protests are bad business for the Triads
World opinion, which is to say Progressive opinion, remains firmly on the side of the pro-democracy protesters, but as always, men with guns will have the final say. They are not Progressives, and the more Progressives nag them, the less they care what Progressives think.
Why don't Progressives take up arms themselves and set the world straight? Because they're still humming that inane Lennon song "Imagine", where there's "nothing to kill or die for".
Overdub with heavy metal music: mosh pit maddness.
Fuckin' cool!
Technically a democracy is nothing but pro-government mobs beating anti-government mobs into submission (mob rule), so one might say the demonstrators have achieved their intended goal.
Pro-Government? Read -- plain clothed policemen.
That's SOP now for China after the big one involving tanks in Beijing's main square. When the Pro-Gov goons come riding in on the Hong Kong equivalent of camels to beat the crowds it'll be confirmed.
So, same scenario that everywhere.
Good fellas, do everything according to the manual.

Democracy. 2 wolves and a China man , discussing what's for dinner.
Hong Kong is one of the worlds most expensive cities to survive in, and merchants are not about to tolerate, and cannot afford business being interrupted by (purported) "student" mobs. If Chinese government deems it politically correct cool it, merchants are then forced to take whatever action they need for their own economic survival-regardless of how unpopulara light it may be portrayed in the western press..
.Hong Kong belongs to China--get used to the fact....
China has every right to vet candidates for Hong Kong government...Beijing sees this vetting as a necessity to prevent seditionists or terrorists from gaining control in the same way that the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi wormed their way into power and control of Egypt.
In the present case, it looks like a try at the same method that Porkoshenko came to power in Ukraine by way of foreign meddling, even more than the way Morsi got to power in Egypt
candidates are vetted in the usa also. that is the purpose of the "only two parties allowed" system. otherwise congress might get filled with the likes of crazy people like paul, kucinich, sanders and trafficante, you know, people who want to represent the american people and the usa.
US does not have the general problem of world hegemonic regime change that many countries have. (the one foreign hegemon we have is Israel/AIPAC, who are already well enthroned in the US political power structure, otherwise we have only to deal with individual Plutocratic squabblings).. Obviously anyone who would truly represent the American citizen would pose a threat to the Plutocracy and banking interests and is therefore intolerable in any position of real control or power>
Fuck that is well said!
You know the rent per day is around USD 0.5million per month for 450 feet sq. (around 50m sq).
Paying each guy USD100 for the event is nothing
fuck

he is scheming and raping and plotting for rothschild zion
this is along the same lines but exemplifies the universality of the .gov mind. they all went to the same school.

as a reply china should park a war ship at tartus.
turn on it's s400s copied from the russian and get assad to declare a no fly zone over syriana proper including stolen property like golan.
Don't you dumb arses realize that until you start getting violent, the government is just going to kick you arses?
Lock and load!
listen soldier
corporal flat foot
you go fight
i am not fighting for mr hong
or mr kong.
this be an internal matter between lord edwyn rothschild
and mainland china let them fight it out.
god willing in turkey,syria,iraq and soon to be lesser israel
I agree, it's their fn problem. For sure.
But stepping back, all of us have the same ultimate problem. We need to kill every last one of these fng tyrants on this planet. Humans have a right to be free everywhere. Kill all the tyrants now.
Love the downvote! LOL "NO! No violence, I'm going to stand here while they stick my umbrella up my arse, and then run me over with a tank, and damn it, I'm going to like it!"
No doubt you will like it, no doubt. Good luck.
Guns don't look like such a stupid "gun nut", "wing nut" idea NOW, do they?!?! LOL
might makes right
I'm betting this is a CIA signal to China not to proceed with the anti-petrodollar axis and to leave Russia isolated.
China is very vulnerable to this kind of movement - it's like a cancer. Go ask any country where the U.S. stuck its 'dick' like this.
If true, then the U.S. has thrown down the gauntlet, and China is going to come out swinging just like Russia did this spring.
They better not be trying anything like that because guess who owns a fuckload of US debt.
Media ran the story of pro government forces coming out onto the streets. Do we have a new Kiev on our hands? I warn you, look fucking out for snipers soon. I mean it too. When Kiev was in full bloom, I warned here on ZH that snipers would soon appear and make the difference in the anti government revolution. Across the globe, whenever mysterious snipers would help the American and CIA cause, they seem to appear. Kiev was the perfect example, and some of us here predicted it before it happened.
Now, the Kiev snipers have never been found, bullets have shown it was not police issue. And witnessess saw mysterious people in mysterious combat gear arrive and depart the building from which snipers operated. We also have the famous Estonian Minister telling that Ashton bitch that it was government behind snipers.
So, be warned, this could go snipers at any day now.
Bangkok 2010 and 2014 as well.......same playbook every time. You would think that with the amount of money and resources available, these people would be a little more "creative". But each new outbreak of manufactured chaos produces less of the desired outcome as more people become aware of the increasingly obvious and desperate game being played by forces of the existing hegemony.
"So, be warned, this could go snipers at any day now."
This is no pro-democracy movement, this is a NED/Soros funded "color" unrest, this time with a pretty, easy to remember name (Occupy Central), a fanciful symbol, the umbrella and hordes of naive students suitably ignited by years of "education" in democracy. Only, there's one rule with the Chinese: you mess up with whatever you want, but NEVER with the money. These young blokes are stopping business, a cardinal sin. Of course there are angry crowds.
Anyway, this has strictly no chance of going anywhere unless the sponsors bring out the snipers, as you say, Jack. But then, the Chinese are not the Ukies. They were Maoists not so long ago, and they will not tolerate disorder. If these youth persist, it could turn ugly for them.
Ebola has to already be up & running in the PRC. There are thousands of PRC contractors & staff through Africa daily. In fact I am confident this gorilla is already in the room.
I read there's already over 300,000 African blacks in Guangzhou. I suspect you are correct about it being there already simmering, trickling thru the cramped housing.
According to a local newspaper report in 2008, the number of African immigrants in Guangzhou had been increasing by 30-40% each year, and formed the largest African community in Asia.[2]
Academics have attempted to estimate the size of the population. Huang Shiding of the Guangzhou Institute of Social Sciences (Chinese: ?????) in 2007 estimated the number of permanent residents of foreign nationality (six months and above) to be around 50,000, of which some 20,000 are of African origin.[3]
Roberto Castillo, a graduate student researching Africans in Guangzhou, estimated in 2013 fewer than 10,000 Africans residing in Guangzhou and 20-30,000 Africans travelling through Guangzhou at any one time.[4] Castillo cautions that firm numbers are difficult as many Africans in Guangzhou are in constant transit so the concept of residence in this context is different from the usual understanding.[4]
A 2014 article in the magazine This Is Africa noted observations by locals of a decline in Africans and cited reasons including a lower demand in Africa for imports from China and immigration enforcement by local police.[5]
Ah yes... the typical spin and idiocy once again.
A handful of protestors are egged on by powerful interests to be useful idiots. Of course any attempt to hint at this reality is downplayed as propaganda.
Meanwhile, the majority get sick of it and some of them do something about it. Any rational or logical explanation goes out the window, afterall it MUST be government thugs.
The permanent victim mentality must be maintained at all costs apparently. Ignore all of your own violence and claim non-violence, attack any reaction to your own actions as violent, and any opposition as a conspiracy. These people are scum and a perfect example of what's wrong with the world.
Its a magnificent time to be alive my friends isnt it?
This is what we have all been waiting for, a global awakening, everywhere, at any time, all around the fucking world.
There is only one way we win this folks, lets give the ruling class, born into ruling you with an iron hand the same treatment the fucking world over. Lets give these cunts war.
Stand up for what you believe is right you fuckers. History, this time, will be on our side.
Game on.
:-)
Yeah you Merikan fucks get your guns out.
Oh wait.
I am waiting for the "Occupy Wall Street" et al protesters to rise up again. There is no fucking way the Western Govs will use force to disperse these "democracy" loving ppl.
Oh wait.
If I were Xi, I would roll out tanks to restore what have been lost in Xijiang and Hong Kong. Fuck those motherfuckers hard.
Thugs bused in by Mainland to beat up the peaceful young boys and girls. Must be pretty humilitating for the HK police and parents to see thier kids beaten up by these violent goons.
Tiananmen 2.0
The US is paying $1mm per head the protesters to protest, while paying thugs $1mm per head to crack their heads. It is all the US fault of the US.
At least that is what a complete nutjob thinks.
The residents of Hong Kong, "Don't want to be Chinese". OK, maybe I have that wrong and they, "Don't want to be China".
Edit: From an HK student, "I am afraid that in a few decades’ time, we will change into China. It’s like we are moving backwards right now. Our core values like freedom of speech are slowly being limited by the Chinese government. And press censorship is getting more serious every day".
I think Xi can pretty much kiss Taiwan 'reconciliation' goodby for the foreseeable future. The Prez of Taiwan has repeatedly asked Beijing for 'a peaceful solution.'
Evidently not going to happen.
From a practical standpoint, beating up Yutes in front of foreign tourists and TV cameras is not so good of a business model to attract FDI and more tourists.
The face of evil
CY Leung's daughter: Hong Kong taxpayers fund 'my beautiful shoes and dresses'Hong Kong Chief Executive CY Leung's daughter Chai Yan Leung made some very questionable comments on Facebook earlier today.
Seemingly responding to negative comments about a necklace she wears in her profile picture, she wrote:
This is actually a beautiful necklace bought at Lane Crawford (yes- funded by all you HK taxpayers!! So are all my beautiful shoes and dresses and clutches!! Thank you so much!!!!) Actually maybe I shouldn't say 'all you'- since most of you here are probably unemployed hence have all this time obsessed with bombarding me with messages.

(Newsweek)
Early Friday evening, anti–Umbrella Revolution gangs assaulted the pro-democracy crowd in the neighborhood of Mongkok and began fights with the demonstrators.
Economists at investment banks and hedge funds are starting to try to get a grip on what the economic fallout of the worst-case scenario might be. Capital flight will accelerate “well beyond what we see now, even though the government will try hard to limit it,” says one mainland economist. That in turn will put downward pressure on the China’s currency, the Renminbi, which has steadily risen in value against the U.S. dollar for the past five years. The cycle then becomes vicious, because only enhances the desire for companies and individuals to get money out of China.

Eygpt taught us alot about politically-inclined-off-duty-police gangs.
China doesn't care if there is Capital flight from HK. Shanghai is set up to take over HKs financial hub to the West role now.
The HK protesters have just sped the process up.
Start shorting HK.
I stick to my prev. comment: snipers are needed to disperse the CIA-mob, the so called students and their "spontaneous" protests.
Yeah, down with the pro-Democracy movement! Long live Communism!
/saracsm
What you need is a good old Stalin era wave of arrests and liquidations. When things begin to calm down, everyone remotely associated with these riots will be disappeared. The idiots who instigated this situation in what is still pretty much a communist country in terms of political freedom don't have a clue what they have put themselves into.
The American media hasn't put a number on the protesters. They only say "tens of thousands." Not even an hundred thousand.
The population of Hong Kong island is over a million.
The protesters are obviously students of the Pravy Sektor, Swoboda, the Nazis and the American Republican Party.
They also learned where to cash their CIA checks without having to pay a fee.
When is Nuland coming with cookies!!!
US Now Admits it is Funding Hong Kong Strife: "Occupy Central"
Can't be. The protestors aren't shooting anyone.
Terrorism and Turmoil: US Containment of China
China will ship all of the queen's men back to London before this over.
Then they can change the names of all the roads, avenues, streets, bazaars, squares and crescents and rid Hong Kong of its worthless British sentiment.
Hong Kong does not need a Queen Victoria Street to remind everyone how many taels of silver England robbed the Chinese of over the last 150 years.
England's Foreign office makes Bernie Madoff look like a philanthopist.
"admitted that the US State Department through a myriad of organizations and NGOs is behind the so-called "Occupy Central" protests in Hong Kong. "
The US does not fund anything, it borrows the money from the Rothschild banks in U.K. who print it up and add it to the national debt. The game is for clueless American citizens to take the fall similar to WWII Germany. You probably recall reading about it, currency collapse then foreign nations coming to bomb you into the stone age. Mean while business as usual in merry ole England. The US central bank has been the IMF for a long time now. You cannot get this through the head of wanker however.
The Hong Kong riots were predicted in 1974 by the great prophet and singer Carl Douglas

Don't forget cash from the CIA going to members of the WSJ, NYT, CNN as well to juice up the lies and propaganda. Nobody is mentioning this...
Well?
Maybe China learned something from the Ukraine protests.
It is better to fight protestors with protestors.
If anyone here think that the ""pro-government"" protestors are anything other than Mainland Chengguan goons being told to confront and beat up the protestors, the IQ level here is far lower than I assumed.
China will, when it suits them, forge 10 million HK id cards, hand them out to poor peasants or government thugs, and send them all to HK in one year.
This will destroy the culture of HK, destroy any reason anyone wants to visit there, live there, do business there, and it will become a paler version of Shenzhen.
Financial centre will move to Shanghai, putting it firmly under the control of Beijing none of this 2-systems nonsense.
If Beijing were to allow this to proceed, the next move of the puppeteers who instigated this demonstration would be to install their ZioNazi (or equivalent) puppet government in control of Hong Kong by a "democratic election"....
Any puppeteer capable of mobilizing this large a demonstration would have no problem mobilizing a sufficient minority voting fraction capable of winning a "democratic" election...It happens all the time in the US.
The Achilles heel of "Democracy" is that it only takes a small but very well-coordinated minority faction to swing the vote count to a majority....
Beijing nipped this scheme in the bud by instituting their right to vet the candidates for election....
They need to go back to School and Study.
Some TWNese here in LA - unhappy with one of my Posts debunking their "Anarchy Racket" have mustered a "Silent Protest" and Stalk here in South Bay Los Angeles...
BTW, if anyone's interested, there might be a smaller version of this at either the Palos Verdes Library or around the Pacific Square Shopping Center, host of the Sea Empress Restaurant, in Gardena.
Their "Community Organizers" sometimes get shooed away; but they always come back. I even had a Team follow me on a flight to Japan (in the last minute), heckle me from Narita to Tokyo, cause a ruckus at the Client Site, and even allegedly managed to have a Janitor and friend slash my Tire at a Marukai Main Shopping Center in Gardena - right in front of the Main Entrance, while I noticed a dame who probably set up the Train Racket in Japan during my Visit hanging out at the Counter.
Mgmt wouldn't let me see the Front Entrance Video; but shortly afterwards, that TWNese Janitor who was the closest person to my Car in the Main Camera's Video Sweep was replaced...
