I was stunned, overwhelmed, and astonished by the protest at Shahbag. Within minutes I was engulfed by the spirit, energy, and excitement of the crowd there, immediately drawn in the public's desire to get "proper" justice. The environment was phenomenal--there were people from all backgrounds, ages, and religions--and the air was electric with the slogans, optimism, and hopefulness of the crowd.

Read my blog entry on the Hong Kong protest at guywong.blogspot.com/2014/10/hong-kong-protest.html
The press has been extremely biased with its reporting, interviewing predominantly the protesters and their leaders, criticizing those who oppose the movement, and denigrating the Hong Kong government and police. Their articles concentrate on peaceful protesters yearning for democracy but fail to show the violent and disruptive side of the protest. Hong Kong is actually a very free city with all the characteristics of democracy.
The protest is not a spontaneous student movement but a well funded and well organized anti-government undertaking.
I have also included at the bottom of the blog entry how foreigners are involved in the planning and funding of the protest.

We were fortunate enough to be in Berlin in '89 and I suppose fortunate enough not to be in Cairo tonight but it did remind us of the buzz (I don't know how else to describe it) of people with freedom in their grasp. This isn't a political view, it's just an appreciation of human spirit. Let's hope for a peaceful outcome.
