Tsuen Wan post

South China Morning Post, 14 October 

While I was watching the goings on at Nathan Rd, Mongkok last night — which ended up being just your average roving black-bloc gangs spraying graffiti and blocking the roads — some violence was being done over in Tsuen Wan (headlines above and link). Tsuen Wan is where we had of one of our businesses, so we know it and its people well. Working class. That’s who are being impacted. Working class folk.

So if clueless Ted had stayed a day longer and picked up the paper, maybe then he could have the “evidence of violence”.
In Mongkok last night a couple of taxi drivers got out of their cabs removed the road blockage and drove on. A few weeks ago, when one of them did this in Wanchai — an elderly man — he was blocked, forced from his cab and beaten. His cab was trashed. And no one did anything. We witnessed that one live, ourselves, till we saw him being comforted and looked after by some bystanders. This time the protesters did nothing. I suppose that counts as being “peaceful”. An advance of sorts…
