    In the current climate shouldn't the education minister just stfu ? Show some common sense and lower the temperature : I am neutral but issuing an edict needs timing surely. It's just goading people now .

    and why people don't understand why they do that.
    Despite your explanation, I still don't understand it.


    So, if the protesters are young and "misled" , shouldn't the "ripe, old and wise" chaps in green "lead" them to the "right" path by not resorting to violence/assault/provocative actions? Remember, the protesters are YOUNG & MISLED .If you pepper spray them, don't expect a "Thank you, Sir/Madam. I just realized that I've made a mistake".

    If you want to teach them, lead them- by being an example.

    I'm not going to justify the extreme actions taken by the most radical end of the protesters (i.e. setting that man alight), because those actions are simply inexcusable.

    The fact remains though, most of the serious violent action is perpetrated by the other side, police and gangs.

    (as a reply to "At this point, can the police and the triads still be distinguished? Or should they be lump into one category?")

    No you can't. I've not seen hardcore protesters yet who:
    - pepperspray random passers-by
    - beat up subdued people
    - beat up random people
    - knife people
    - disappear you, suicide you or send you to China

    On the other hand I've seen plenty hardcores who:
    - helped women, kids and elderly people
    - handed out their masks to people hurt by tear gas
    - sacrificed themselves to let others escape.
    And this I've not seen police or triads do.
