Protesters in Hong Kong may be reckless but it seems that their opponents aren't exactly cool-headed either...
"Simon Cheng, a trade and investment officer at the consulate, was reported missing after he failed to return from a business trip to the neighboring Chinese city of Shenzhen on Aug. 8. His girlfriend told local media that he had messaged her shortly before attempting to pass through a border control point on his way back to Hong Kong, saying “pray for me.”
The Wong Tai Sin resident added: “We elderly people are not simple-minded. We see things clearly. We don’t just listen to one side of the story and throw things at the police.”
He noted that the police have been “just” in handling the protests, and had only retaliated after the protesters threw objects at them.
Another Wong Tai Sin resident, who only wanted to be known as Ms Leung, also opined that the youngsters were in the wrong.
...“They were born and bred in Hong Kong. By making things bad here, what do they have to gain?”
“Don’t they have food on the table? Don’t they have proper jobs? Of all things to do, why must they become protesters?” asked the 98-year old rhetorically."

“They (protesters) want freedom for themselves, but they are actually impeding on the freedom of other people."
