@oooTACooo Agree this was well made + insightful. I think of all the media outlets, SCMP IS TRYING VERY HARD to conduct accurate, responsible, objective reporting. Many think they are biased, because those individual don't agree with SCMP's content; but the Nov election PROVED that the voters support the protesters + SCMP should reflect the sentiments, of Hong Kong Voters. Other local, public funded outlets, are also reporting responsibly, but I can't remember their names.

@yopyop3241 Many of these people DON'T KNOW THE FULL HISTORY, of the protests, starting in June, AND the blasted extradition bill, starting back in April/May.
2
@yopyop3241 RIGHT ! NEVER FORGET Yuen Long, where GANGSTERS even attacked UNINVOLVED, RANDOM, COMMUTERS. And the post election protest, brought out 800,000 HONG KONGERS

@ Anniekins MishkaMouse No. His guardian even told Joe that: - If they were attacked, they should defend themselves, + NOT CALL THE POLICE (their antagonist). - they should not attack others FIRST. I understand Cantonese.

richard cranium Yes. Time's Readers voted Hong Kong Protesters as "Persons of the Yr", but not the magazine itself - afraid of repercussions form China.

@insignificantindividual6949 You are EXACTLY THE REASON Hong Kongers don't like the Mainland + China Supporters. Instead of conducting an intelligent, mature discussion/argument, you immediately DISRESPECT + DISPARAGE those who have opinions different from yours. Your INFANTILE BEHAVIOR only cause others, to presume THE WORST ABOUT CHINA. I am a PROUD CANTONESE SPEAKER. Also, learn to spell.
1
@insignificantindividual6949 Burning people is wrong + your hate speech is wrong; and I DON'T AGREE WITH YOU. Why do you assume Seymour Butts is a Cantonese Speaker? Is it so you can segue into your belligerent tirade against all things Cantonese? There are certain languages that I find very unpleasant + I have been mistreated by speakers of aforementioned languages, but I don't go around MAKING DESPICABLE COMMENTS ABOUT THESE LANGUAGES, BECAUSE I CAN SEPARATE THESE LANGUAGES, FROM THEIR NOT VERY NICE SPEAKERS. Also, your "great hate for everything Cantonese" illustrates you have ANGER PROBLEMS.

@Alipa lisa You are POLITELY ASKING PEOPLE TO BE KIND + TOLERANT, then people like Paper Cat AGGRESSIVELY + IMMATURELY attack you; makes it REALLY DIFFICULT to dialogue with the other side. Sounds like you are a Hong Konger; STAY STRONG - you should have the FREEDOM + RIGHT, to determine YOUR FUTURE, just like 13y/o Joe. MANY PEOPLE, LIKE ME, SUPPORT YOU - GNA YOAUL !!!

@Kenny Lee 1 MILLION HONG KONGERS, then 2 MILLION HONG KONGERS "gave peace a chance" ALL THE WAY BACK IN JUNE, but ARROGANT LAM refused to listen + respect them.

@francischan3785 Firstly, it is not my demands; I am not a Hong Konger. Secondly, "cause + effect" is a well known axiom; apparently the protesters view the they have no choice but to escalate to violence (which I don't condone, but understand why it is taking place.) Thirdly, did Lying Lam listen to REASON IN JUNE? As I have written, when I Million, then 2 Million (29% of Hong Kongers) MARCHED PEACEFULLY, had Lam LISTENED TO THE PEOPLE then + withdrew the cursed bill, ALL THE SUBSEQUENT VIOLENCE, ON BOTH SIDE, could have been prevented, or at least, be ameliorated. (the bill was withdrew, after the violence - VERY WISE ?)

@francischan3785 Fourthly, I am sure Lam has her "reasons", but all her logic, behavior + actions ENDANGER the people; but in 2017, her campaign slogan was "she listens + cares". Fifthly, not only with the extradition bill, but also with Covid-19, Traitor Lam CONTINUES TO PUT HONK KONGERS @ RISK: -not closing all the borders (possible to LET IN ONLY, WELL-MONITORED HONG KONG DRIVERS with food/water) -wanting to place Covid-19 Clinics in CROWDED NEIGHBORHOODS OF HK, when alternatives were available. -DEMANDING that Civics Groups not buy yellow/black masks with gov't money, WHICH THE LATTER FAILED TO PROVIDE TO THE PEOPLE. With this PETTY, SPITEFUL + MALICIOUS RULE, groups had to buy MORE COSTLY, BUT LESS #, OF MASKS. Perhaps the mostly young protesters will suffer, BUT SURELY THEY HAD THE MOST TO LOST, IT THEY DID NOTHING.
1
@yopyop3241 RIGHT. Still, 800,000 people is QUITE IMPRESSIVE, since we are soon going into the 7th month of protest.

@ Yellowbird It is "SCMP", not SCMC. South China Morning Post IS OWNED by Alibaba.

@francischan3785 I WOULD LOVE to have a kid like Joe.

@Ecko Stream Agree that it is "his future that's on the line..." In the Nov elections, 86% of the voters, supported the protestors. About 18% of voters, support the protesters' violent actions
1
@ David Diamond YES. It is sad that some people are so dismissive + condescending because he is only 13y/o. As he himself verbalized - he, a child, ALSO HAS OPINIONS. I understand Cantonese; "Joe" is obviously an intelligent, perceptive + probably precocious 13y/o.
1
@ andrew lin And let's not forget about Yuen Long.
1
@yopyop3241 You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
1
El Bottoo On 7/21/19 @ the Yuen Long Station, GANGMEMBERS ATTACKED INNOCENT COMMUTERS + homeward bound protesters. Even though citizens IMMEDIATELY called the police, ONLY AFTER 1 HOUR, did the police arrive.
1
El Bottoo Firstly, LEARN HOW TO SPELL. Obviously, unfair people like you, don't care about Yuen Long. Also, you should note, cockroaches are VERY HARDY + PERSISTENT.
1
El Bottoo WELL DONE. Regress to insults when you CAN'T DISCUSS/ARGUE INTELLIGENTLY.
1
@splinxte7192 Unfortunately, Paul L posted derogatory + inflammatory comments about Hong Kong. He attacked a 13 y/o + completely disrespected Hong Kongers, because they don't shared Paul's BIASED OPINIONS.

Nicholas Evan Sirait Thanx for being open-minded + courteous.
