  • Man Set On Fire In Hong Kong Video

    In one of the most gruesome videos to emerge from Hong Kong's increasingly violent protests, an unidentified man was set on fire during an argument on the street in Hong Kong.

    The older man, seen in the video wearing a green shirt, reportedly helped chase demonstrators from a train station as they worked to disrupt the Monday morning commute. As the crowd started to disperse, the man was filmed arguing with young people who appear to be supporters of the protesters.

    According to the South China Morning Post, the video shows the man, who is bleeding, walking away from the group and shouting "You are not Chinese." A member of the group responds: "We are Hong Kongers" as the man walks away. Then, a shouted insult prompts him to return and confront the younger demonstrators.

    As the man starts arguing once again with the crowd, a person dressed in black and wearing a face mask runs up from behind him and douses the man in a clear liquid. He then lights the man on fire with a lighter, instantly engulfing him in flames.
    The incident occurred shortly before 1 pm on a footbridge, SCMP said. The man was recovering in a city hospital, and was in critical condition. Chinese media denounced his attackers as rioters, a term used often on the mainland to criticize and attack protesters.

    Afterward, Hong Kong chief executive Carrie Lam said during a press conference on Monday that these "riotous acts have surpassed the five demands & are the enemy of the people."

    Monday marked one of the most violent episodes to take place during the week, disrupting the morning commute as HK's MTR public transit shut down several stations.

    Elsewhere on Monday, a protester was shot by police with a live round.

          usually i'd agree that Mr. I is a bit of a conspiracy nut. but if you think about how desperate the Chinese government is to get this thing done and over with it's not so crazy.

          sure, the Chinese gov could crush the protesters but that's not good for optics. so what to do... well you turn the protesters into "terrorists" and suddenly you are free to attack these people with all means necessary. you put some people into the crowd pretending to be a protester and you have them do some terrible shit and you change the worlds perspective.

          Reality is largely negotiable....
