    So, I think everyone knows about the protest in Hong Kong.
    But if you don't know what's happening / don't understand, here's a picture from Tumblr to fully explain the protest.

    Explains it all.
    And yes, I live in Hong Kong.
    I don't need smoke bombs, tear gas and rubber bullets to attack my home.
    Spread the news.

    Depends on the district we're in. Right now the district I'm in is safe to go outside. Even my school.
    Some people in Central, won't be able to go to school because of the protest.

    District 13 had a really bad bombing, and President Snow left Katniss a bunch of flowers

    Yes, I know.
    However, I know that they're joking about Districts, nothing to do with the related topic.
    Also, don't you find it ironic that we're being off topic in the Off-topic section...?

    50/50 on each side.
    Why?
    1. The protest is affecting the economy.
    2. The police uses force with rubber bullets, smoke bombs, pepper sprays, etc.
    3. It was a peaceful protest.

    "50/50"
    Yeah, I know they're trying to get the government's attention, but the government either could've answered their open letter.
    Are they just going to stand there and watch?
    But still, it's causing more protests in other places now, because of the economy. At this rate, Hong Kong could lose business.
