        In HK: the police calmed the protests with no deaths attributed to the police, only the protestors such as the girl's suicide and the man they lit on fire.

        In USA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiU8sL7Yq9Q

          The man lit on fire survived, but there was the old dude the protestors hit with a brick [that you link below, but he wasn't the same as the arson victim] and that protestor who fell off a ladder or something and died.

            Right, I knew 2 died, I got them mixed up a tiny bit. Below I have provided sources.

              I didn't know about the suicide, so debateably it was 3. Anyway, I appreciate your integrity.

      Please stop comparing a bullshit protest to people suffering pogroms and genocide. Thanks.

        I see my response was censored/removed by "the mod". I'm almost positive you took what I said out of context, because I don't make mistakes like that.

          I didn't quote what you said at all so it's impossible that I took it out of context. It was a gross statement and you should do better.

            that's what I said - the mod censored what I wrote because the mod is capricious. Are you a todd? Mod?
