Our latest big drama? Well, I know I've shown you them before ...
At the Democracy Rally 2011!
... these horde of kiddies currently running around wearing Guy Fawkes/ "V for Vendetta" masks waving the flag for Democracy ...
After the Democracy Rally!
... but hasn't HK gone crazy about it!!! Same ol' Same ol'! All that "The Fall of Civilisation-As-We-Know-It", in fact. All those doom-laden "Angry in Tung Chung" letters to the editor protesting against these protestors!
It got so bad even, that, while we were away, when a visiting CCP dignitary visited Chinese University from Mainland China, and the "Guy Fawkes" were out in force, the dean ordered the police to beat them up which meant another group of HKers went berserk, but since these ones were for freedom of speech, I'm with them.
Protesting the police beating on campus!
And please note the fellow with the PLA haircut
filming them!
Although I can't say I'm entirely with them on this count ...
Provocative, yes?
Waving this flag while surrounded by police?
Although Alex finds it the coolest photo EVER!
... but I think you have to be under 30 to find this sort of thing a valid form of protest!
However, lots of these kiddies have been beaten up so the ones injured after "doing violence to security guards" - or so they're accused - yesterday took off their Guy Fawkes masks so we can see their faces:
Oooh, scary, scary! Don't we look mean!!!
I mean SERIOUSLY!!!! Just look at those kiddies! Can you imagine them even raising their voices, let alone do violence to men in uniform?
In fact, I think this is a perfect example of how stupid HK can be with all this regular "going crazy" over the stupidest little things!
This could even be seen as a Metaphor. Sure, we may have SARs-style killer epidemics and all, but most of our panics are simply "sweet-faced kiddies behind a scary mask"!
