Dumb commies. I wonder if they're ever going to figure out that every time they pull this kind of crap they're just feeding ammo to revolutionaries. Best way I know of to get someone to do something is tell them they can't.

Officials in Hong Kong officially passed a controversial new national anthem law, which criminalizes any disrespect toward the song.
The passage of the law Thursday coincides with the commemoration of the 31st year since the Tiananmen Square massacre. Residents have said the new law is a major blow to the region’s struggling autonomy.

Two lawmakers even went so far as to throw liquid at the chamber during its passage of the legislation in condemnation of the Chinese Communist Party and its ban on any ceremonies acknowledging the Tiananmen Square protests.
“A murderous state stinks forever and what we did today is to remind the world that we should never forgive the Chinese Communist Party for killing its own people 31 years ago,” stated Eddie Chu, a Hong Kong opposition legislator.
Despite the ban, candlelight vigils have been taking place all across the region.

They know, they want the reactions so they may kill and jail the leaders. I hope they can get to the UK.

That's an interesting take. We're talking China. The can kill and/or jail the leaders just because they want to. If this is their idea of a facade, they need to get the US Dems and work on it. It's pretty weak.

Never been to China? No means no which means don't even try to tip-toe up to the edge of doing anything they can misconstrue as disrespect toward the Chinese National Anthem or you'll find yourself tilling land in Wuhan. Or buried under it.

and running over your citizens that don't agree with you strikes me as seriously weak. But they did just that.

The proper response to such is outrage, which I'm pretty sure is what the protests in this country are. While I cry at the lack of progress in my lifetime, I still recognize the weakness of the cop choking the life out of the man and the strength of the cops that have shown self-discipline and empathy in the aftermath.
