Hong Kong students are so brave. Although they are facing the pressure from their parents, schools and police, they stand out to support the students who were arrested. Salute to the future of Hong Kong. Go Hong Kongers.

See kiddos, this is why you don't let the government take your guns
SushiJaguar
This is propoganda. They're actually doing work experience for when they get shipped fifty feet down the road to the Nike factory.
GhostOfFutureTaco
Just waiting to give his military the word to get that honey. And by honey I mean Hong Kong.
Watchkeeper
When you consider voter turn out in some western countries we really should be ashamed of how little we value our freedom sometimes.
TheProfessionalOne
There goes their social score.
locstp
Brave but I’m afraid it’s all for nothing. I fear for their future.
Daishudo
Fuck Chinese government

Don't make any promises you can't keep. You need a condom?

Yeah one big one

Naw go in raw and give them the clap

Brave man indeed, I will print out imgur memes and send it to you while you are in Chinese prison. And ads between posts

Hong Kongers with Big Dongers
circlejerkofgrabassticclowns
Thanks for all these updates, really interesting to get an insider's perspective, keep it up!
circlejerkofgrabassticclowns
I mean I assume it's an insider's perspective. Either that or you are obsessed with HK, either is fine with me
coconutninja
If you are, stay safe out there buddy
yetipc
meanwhile in the US we have Antifa pansies
F1rools22
This account has literally ONLY posted about HK. I'm sure it's bad in HK but I get the impression that these are just bots.
AlLocke4
Could be a long time lurker,first time time poster taking advantage of the platform to share the wild scenes. Could totes be bots too though
F1rools22
Oof these downvotes. Ok worth noting that this was posted at 3am HK time.
mikeatike
Or they have personally identifiable info on their main account and don't want to become dead.
edofm
It's posted during the US timezone btw. Currently 5 am in Hong Kong and was 3 am when started posting...
SergeantMoomoos
I'm never on imgur at 'normal' times. And if my whole country was rioting like this I'd probably be up at 5am too.
Feathered69
people regularly stay up way later than some others, that doesn't rule out someone from there at all.
Tattr
These poor people will all get killed or disappeared and the rest if the world would keep buying cheap chinese goods.
zambijaking
Do they wear surgical mask to hide face or cause air is so polluted?
summershank
They’ve been doing it to fight face recognizing cameras which are very prevalent
Starcatcher1986
The masks are considered a polite precaution when dealing with the common cold in many Asian countries. Here they're used to hide identity.
beezzarro
It's for hygiene, to stop someone getting sick or transferring sickness. It will not stop pollution from reaching your lungs
superfeathers
Pollution, and probably like Japan when you're sick too, but in China they've also become something of a fashion statement (Hong Kong >>
superfeathers
Isn't so far off that it wouldn't be the same). But in this video it's clearly to hide their face a bit. Not every single person wears them
DeimosBarret
Yes
kimbosdurag
It's absolutely not for pollution or being sick. They are hiding their identity so they don't end up on a government list.
duckswithfedoras
It’s original purpose is for pollution/being sick. But CCP is known for facial recognition devices and when a lot of anti-CCP protestors 1/2
summershank
This is the correct answer. All protestors wear these to mitigate identification and retaliation
duckswithfedoras
Are actively protesting against the CCP, they would prefer to hide their faces in fear of arrest, job loss, family being harmed, etc.
wyatt8740
IDK, but in Japan and a few other countries it's a courtesy when sick to wear a mask. Wish it was in the US, too
thisiskissel
I know some women in Japan wear masks to be a bit incognito. Others sick or bad air.
pareidoliaperson
Or Europe. But then they can't ban burqas and their idiotic reason fall in to nothingness.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
I live in San Francisco and the Asian people do it
wyatt8740
That's my problem, I'm in Indiana
Starcatcher1986
My doctor's office in NJ encourages using them. I haven't seen anybody actually doing it, but it's a start?
Sutashi
I would think it's that but it looks like all the kids involved are wearing them. It's starting to be a thing in the US but not the same yet
wyatt8740
Yeah I thought that, too. Can't fit everything in 128 chars though. And Indiana here; I've seen exactly one person do that IRL.
wyatt8740
(in Indiana at least)
Ulthirm
It's becoming a thing in the us too, they're wet masks btw, they help breath when the pollution gets super bad or just near the roads. The
Ulthirm
Last few days we've had yellow pollution clouds over my city.
Ulthirm
And yes ik, they don't stop all pollution but they do help, and can you blame someone for trying even if their efforts are probably wasted
Ulthirm
/a/Kotf03t for those curious i guess. They're not so bad currently and have faded since the photo was taken but we all know
Ulthirm
That it's just going to keep getting worse.
TheFastpaws
They have more spine then people in the USA right now.
Fifofu
Teenagers thinking they know everything there is to know and rebeling against adults. So clichè, so dumb, so cringy.
IsawSchwarzeneggeronahorse666
Wtf who are you?
EvilKam
Except the teenagers happen to be right. Anyone protesting the Chinese government is right.
Fifofu
Immune to criticism, Hostile, Employ physicality instead of work/debate, Heroes with half the story, Justified according their own judgement
Fifofu
Where did we see all these things? Are they good?
EvilKam
We see all those things in the Chinese Government. Tienenman Square ring a bell?
Fifofu
Exactly, and that's what many teens were doing. Specially being deaf to criticism and self proclaiming themselves heroes telling 1/2 stories
SergeantMoomoos
Were he students arrested the ones who sang over the nation anthem or something else?
Faust18
No, the ones who beat up random strangers and robbed people.
SergeantMoomoos
Oh so officers in plain clothes. Gotcha.
Faust18
LOL so hundreds of 18 year old officers in plainclothes staging a fake attack? Bush did 9/11 amirite?
SergeantMoomoos
Yeah just like the hundreds of officers dressed in white t shirts pretending to be gangs trashing the stations to garner police support.
Faust18
I'm sure you also think every violent protester at a G8 summit, yellow vest, etc were all false flags by cops right?
WakeMeUpB4UpostPost
In America, students need safe spaces from comedians, or anyone that has an opinion.
ShaggySnatch7
Well...one side does..ahem.. here come the downvotes also.
ecologistguy
1/2 Figure it out, bud. Safe spaces are meant to protect students from retribution - either from professors or other students - when that
Rips4w
Hey, congrats. You're that guy. Be proud.
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Does he get a parade?
skjetch
Would you like your safe space from safe spaces?

ecologistguy
2/2 student voices an opinion. It's meant to make it "safe" to respectfully disagree. Stop listening to idiots like Shapiro and Crowder.
AnimeSourcerer
Ah man, there's someone named Crowder making a bad name for themselves? Damn, I share a name with them.
realistichorsegonadbehavior
Here he is. I am so sorry. If it makes you feel any better, Mara Wilson has to be *cousins* with Ben Shapiro
EmailFail
Way to take something cool and shitbag it up.
derscur
yeah HK is cool or whatever but have you heard about what the FUCKING LIBERALS are up to? lemme tell you my opinion on that
circlejerkofgrabassticclowns
Some people's tribalism is an absolute obsession that they can't ever let go
