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.

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.

Wait, the HK protesters had one of their girl's suicide and a man lit on fire...? Give me a good source on that...

Why do you wait for someone to ask?

[–] Joncash2@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

I like people to be interested and want the info. I don't know if you've noticed from my conversation here, the majority of people just want to argue with me and not actually learn something.
