@badtmy
please don't selectively quote me out of context. if you read the whole post, you'll see the other options i suggested (first) were the exact opposite point of view. i just suggested opposing points of view because i didn't want to put a particular political point of view in Tynan's mouth (i have/had no idea what his personal politics are).
i think it's pretty clear that i wasn't actually saying "fuck the protesters", although i do think they could claim more moral high ground if they weren't quite so extreme. getting violent just makes them look like a bunch of loonies and legitimises the OTT chinese security presence.
