for the last two weeks I have heard many news about Hong Kong unemployed young people.  They want to fight for democracy and freedom. So, they get together and  parade and demonstrate. They are protesting for two weeks, they’re like criminal  cause they hurt many people. Yesterday I saw two news about they hurt two people, one is tourist, they control him for about eight hours. During these 8 hours they kick him and call him names. They had hurt him, when the ambulance went there and pick him up this people didn’t allow and to get this hurt people to the hospital. They also attack medical staff.there is other news, that they attacked another man who worked in Global News. He didn’t do nothing in HK, but they have attacked him just because he’s a reporter.
