Tens of thousands of protesters occupy a major road in central Hong Kong and are marching onward after a large public park could not contain the droves of participants.

Tens of thousands of protesters have occupied a major road in central Hong Kong and are marching onward after a large public park could not contain the droves of participants.

Organizers said they hoped to have a peaceful event after past weekends were marked by violent clashes between hardcore protesters and police. Student Harley Ho says: “We will stand here, we will take action, until they respond to us. ... Together we have more power.”While violent clashes with police have characterized rallies in recent weeks, organizers hope Sunday’s assembly will show that “Hong Kong people can be totally peaceful.”People are streaming into a park in central Hong Kong for what organizers hope will be a peaceful demonstration for democracy in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.

The movement’s demands include the resignation of the city’s leader, fully democratic elections and an independent investigation into what they say is police brutality against the protesters.A spokesman for China’s ceremonial legislature has condemned statements from U.S. lawmakers supportive of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement.

HongKongProtests China

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Brutal China is constrained to use It's usual brutality to Hong Kong Citizens.

The hooligans always get the media coverage. Where are the pro government protesters? The hooligans hijacked a once rational protest and turned it into a senseless demonstration with no end game. China will never in a million years, surrounder!!!

They are protesting that which american liberals foolishly wish to see implemented here in the USA. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Losers' party again.

We are too scared in this country to follow suit!!

INDEPENDENCE FOR HONG KONG!!! china hongkong

Hong Kong wants no part of China. Couldn't be more clear. Democracy now.
