MORE ABOUT YUEN LONG, DAMMIT!

Background, for those new to the internet: Two days ago protesters and regular people returning home late at night were set upon by well over a hundred white-shirted goons with sticks and iron bars, resulting in forty five people including a pregnant woman needing emergency medical attention.
This happened in Yuen Long (元朗), New Territories(新界). Local village leaders and politicians appear to have been in the know, and it looks like the white-shirted goons may have been connected to Nam Pin Wai (南邊圍), one of the local walled clan villages.

Since then, plans have been made to take the protest actions directly to Yuen Long. There have also been on line calls to trash graves and clan properties in revenge.
End background.

Okay, y'all have lost your frigin' minds, haven't you? I can think of NO better way to alienate your fellow Hong Kongers than by causing a civil war. Which, make no mistake, this would do.
Destroying government property is one thing. And maybe probably justified when you can't get anything through the thick skulls of Legco members (香港立法會會員) and the police.
Everything should tell you that destroying local graves and clan halls, however, is monumentally wrong.

The last time it was sticks, kicks, and iron bars.

Next time, cleavers.

And, proactively, the covering up or damaging of public security cameras beforehand.

That's something you taught them.


I have some sympathy for your cause, but I cannot see you winning this one, or even making ANY valid points. And if you damage graves and clan halls, the rural population will forsake and physically attack you, eventually you will have no place to hide, your brutalized bodies will end up being tossed into sea, you'll be ratted out, and those of you who leave Hong Kong shall have no place to go.
The overseas Chinese community will make no sacrifices on your behalf.
And I know your English is not good enough to blend in.

Whatever you do in Yuen Long, it had better be “peaceful, rational and non-violent”.
