HONKERS HAS GONE BONKERS. The civil unrest in Hong Kong bears similarities, in a way, to the Bangkok/Thailand rebellions around 2012. A highly organised democratic movement supported by equally some very good folk and some very dodgy criminal groups against a kind of governing elite. In the Thai situation the Government just let the protestors win, the protestors took over parliament, ruled the streets, dug up the roads, burnt down about 20 skyscrapers etc for about a year, and then the Government, housed in offices near the airport, just had some military interventions of an 'urban pacification' kind...and lots of Psychological Ops and just sniper-ed off the leaders of the protest, and thus nothing changed in terms of the rulers of the city...the Government won, the rebellion was over...and people just got tired of protesting and not getting work or pay.
