This will not end peacefully unless the protesters capitulate, but I think they are aware after 2 decades that the trend is against them and now may be the time..

its morphing . pro government protesters have been violent.
Police have been overly harsh to the anti government forces who have mostly been very peaceful.
rubber bullets and gas , and they have brought in the water cannons.

and china is threating more direct military intervention.

I will say its becoming harder and harder to support any of the Chinese idols parroting the One China line.

As much as I love Victoria she is probably a lost cause as to kpop ever more.

Kids like the Rocket girls have no choice and its not like i do anything more that watch a video or 20 :).

Makes me wonder if SM is holding SR19g to shield Ning Ning, gonna fast run out of time for that.
