I’m afraid politics just does not make sense. It is always a big question mark to what people say and then the lengths they go through to prove it!
This is not “violence”, it is not “hooliganism”, not is it just a protest, this is a Freedom Fight against the barbaric oppression by an illegal occupier who is beyond any moral, ethical or ethical bounds.
Freedom fights are a just cause, a cause that is above censure on the basis of its means, for the ends is the termination of the crimes and oppression of the occupier, the Han Chinese.
