Riots in Hong Kong


harbinger truth

Recommended Posts

I am a currently in Hong Kong and am witnessing a lot of tension between the locals and the police, government and mainlanders.  

On New Year's Eve Riots broke out in Mong Kok area of Hong Kong.

The riot was prompted by police forcefully removing street food vendors from the area.

The locals saw this as an act against humanity and rose up to force the police out of the area!

@RoseCodex. The vendors are unlicensed. And the goverment think that cooking in the street might cause a safety problem. (Flammable material)

 

I really don't think that is true.

 

Its much more likely that the govt are annoyed that people are not following the totally unnecessary licensing rules.

Basically, they are oppressing people who they cant get profit from. If they dont do so, then it will encourage more people go on this route since theyve stopped issuing this type of license right?
