Stop the nonsense!
I have seen more serious injuries in one American football match than the whole week of anti-WTO protests in December, and the Hong Kong Police dares to call that a "riot" for justifying the tear gas and arrests on 18 Dec. Either we are so stupid that the government thought we could be blinded easily, or the government is so stupid that she thought she could treat everyone as 3-year-old.
The 14 arrested are still awaiting for yet the next trial.
Other than showing the world that Hong Kong is so restrictive in freedom of expression, I can see no other benefit on continuing the prosecution. So, finally, we know why our creative industry like movies is falling behind after 1997, when the once relaxed Public Order Acts became restricted again - how can you be creative if you can't even express yourself freely?
Actually, our Public Order Acts is outdated. The local activists suffer from this all the time, and perhaps the only good about the prosecution is that we have shown the world how backward we are.
Be modernised, free the protesters and close the case. It's such a disgrace to Hong Kong!

With police outnumbering protesters in this proportion, what harm could the protesters do?
