以下是我在微信群中部分发言的汇编，大部分是针对其他网友观点的回应。微信讨论嘛，比较随意，就不要苛求前后连贯了，从我的文字就可以看出针对的观点是什么。比如说，有人说为何要拿出美国使用催泪瓦斯做例子。
The British Empire's policy towards colonial territories has been consistent over the centuries. They ruled HK much like they dominated India. The only difference was that PRC had a powerful military ready to impose the will of the Chinese nation.
Tear gas is frequently used in the U.S. against protesters. HK people are not above the law.
Check out the Occupy Wall Street videos.
If America is the beacon of democracy and model of the rule of law, HK must learn from America.
The New York police applied sanitation and public safety laws and forcefully removed the occupiers.
There is no need for bloodshed.
No one is talking about firing live ammunition like the Kent State Massacre, the American experience in dealing with the OWS movement is very valuable. You can enforce law without bloodshed.
When citizens willfully violate the law, they must be held accountable in accordance of the law. HK is degenerating into a lawless society.
No one is talking about using the PLA to quell the occupy movement.
The U.S. is the first democracy since the Roman Republic. Every nation should learn from the US if they aspire for democracy .
And we learned from the US that democracy comes hand in hand with strict enforcement of the law.
Freedom does not equate lawlessness.
Freedom requires social responsibility, including the respect for the law.
When the dignity of the law is tainted by mob like movement, what you get is not freedom but chaos and disorder.
There are a lot of human factors in a mass movement. The purpose is never simple, the motive never pure. In the end, someone is bound to lose cool when patience runs out and passions reign high. Rarely we see a mass movement produce positive results. For that you need either a revolution or a gradual reform.
