September 3, 2019: Memo to radical protesters

Congratulations on the suffering you have caused to so many people by your actions affecting Hong Kong Airport and the MTR. Maybe you might now like to try methods like these:

* Take over one of the main hospitals and stop nurses and doctors from attending to patients.

* Take over a nursing home and stop staff from feeding the elderly.

* Take over a kindergarten and hold the tiny children as hostages.

Millions of Hong Kong people - myself included - support your aim to have the Extradition Ordinance Amendment officially withdrawn. But Hong Kong people are sad and shocked that you are using violent and irresponsible methods to achieve your objectives. The time has come for you to say no to violence.
