All of us would not want to see the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre repeated in Hong Kong. We must prevent this man-made catastrophe from happening again!!!
...
Some seem to advocate street battles against the PLA. I think that would be pointless. You do not need to die. There is no purpose in another Tienanmen. Don't do it. And, realise that it is the protester's choice if this happens. Mass surrender would be far better for everyone, and will help win the war. Getting massacred will not.
...Tbh, there is always unequal between the force using from both sides,
...In your opinion, would the above actions violate the moral high-ground that we keep protesting since June? What will foreigners think of?
I'm not qualified to speak for the entire Western world and I'll admit to being pretty weird by Western standards anyway. I'll add that I'm in awe of how far the HK protesters have gotten. So, I'm not exactly comfortable giving advice. I actually came here to get it.
That said, and this is just my personal opinion:
The police must always appear to be stronger, better equipped, and better trained than the protesters. What you have is numbers, and those numbers must show restraint. I understand the desire to get even, to beat the crap out of them, but don't. No arrows, no bombs, none of that. Traditional weapons... bricks and molotovs are "protester weapons". A victory video is one where the sheer number of protesters force the police into retreat. That is power. A video of some fool with a bow and arrow is failure. In Western terms, it's called "asking for it." 'It' being shot, without sympathy. Directed property damage is victory. Cleaning up after a protest is even better. Random destruction is not.
Thus, I see those water cannon trucks as legitimate targets and wonder why you don't take them out. I see videos of them sitting back between runs. I'd set up dedicated hit teams that go after those trucks anywhere, anytime. I'd also go after police cars and vans that are parked around protests. Taking out a police vehicle raises the cost of what they're doing. In short, police vehicles are legitimate targets for destruction, the more the better. 12 people can roll a police car over by hand... and would make for a good video
As I write this, google news has finally caught up and is reporting the siege. If you have the numbers, you need to break this siege, to let at least some people escape. That is how you win this particular battle.
You have to prove you have the numbers. The best way is to lay siege to the police, to surround them. Just, block every access in or out with non-violent people.
If you can't get that many people on the street, then the next best option would be to raise the cost of the siege by targeting police vehicles. Burn them. flip them, smash them as they drive by, paint them. Beating a cop... ehhh (asking for it) ... but trashing his car is good. Very good.
Oh, and one last thing... unrelated but important. Trashing a "sympathiser" shop is one thing. Burning it is stupid. If one of those fires gets out of hand and hurts people, it's going to cost you a lot of support. A fire in one part of a larger building is a really, really bad idea. Even the smoke from a fire causes a lot of damage. Way too dangerous, in too many ways, to be worth the risk.
