Growing Frustrated Over Beijing Interference and Police Violence, Hong Kong Protesters Call on US for Support
from The Epoch Times:
The 14th consecutive weekend of protests in Hong Kong were marked by an appeal to the U.S. government to pass legislation in support of the city’s autonomy, and calls for the police to be held accountable for making violent arrests last weekend.
Mass demonstrations since June were initially over a controversial extradition bill that would allow people to be transferred to mainland China for trial but has since morphed into wider calls for democracy and an independent investigation into police use of force.

by Jose Nino, Big League Politics:
Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently criticizedDemocratic presidential candidates for pushing mandatory assault weapon buybacks, while also taking Walmart to task for its anti-gun measures.

When Genocide Visits Hong Kong, At Least They Will Die On Their Feet Unlike Most Americans
by Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show:
The people of Hong Kong are my new heroes. They don’t hit home runs or dunk a basketball or even catch a touchdown pass. They are not movie stars, although the world is watching them with morbid fascination. The people of Hong Kong are fanatically obsessed with obtaining personal freedom in the face of the most tyrannical and evil government on the face of the Earth. In a few months, many of these people will be dead and there seems to be a passive acceptance of their fate, but the obvious holocaust that is right around the corner is not discouraging these people from engaging in the very dangerous course of action that they have embarked on. The phrase “Give me liberty, or give me dearth” could never be more appropriately applied to the wonderfully brave people of Hong Kong.
Hong Kong – Never the Same Again
by Jayant Bhandari, Acting Man:
Freedom Rock
Hong Kong ranks among the freest societies in the world. Not only economically, but socially it is a very liberal place. It was marinated in British ways until 1997, much longer than Singapore and other colonies. Then China took it over as a special administered region, which according to the agreement with the UK meant that it was only nominally to be under Chinese control for the next 50 years. It was possibly the only colony in which a vast majority of citizens did not want the British to go.

Hong Kong’s leader to withdraw extradition bill, but protesters demand more
from RT:
Hong Kong’s leader Carrie Lam has officially announced she is withdrawing the earlier-suspended extradition bill that sparked massive protests and riots in the city. Some protesters are already saying it’s ‘too little, too late.’
“The government will formally withdraw the bill in order to fully allay public concerns,” Lam said in a televised speech on Wednesday.
The bill, that would have allowed criminal suspects to be brought from Hong Kong, China’s self-governing territory, to mainland China for trial, has led to massive protests which spiraled into rioting and violent clashes with police. The protesters occupied several buildings, including the city’s parliament, and disrupted operations at Hong Kong airport.
