Demonstration

The real matter that I recently found difficult to decide was the happenings in the night of 1st July.

For those who are not familiar with the local news, a group of slightly more aggressive people occupied the roads in the center of Hong Kong after the ordinary parade in the afternoon. The traffic was severely affected, and the police had to put up a certain amount of effort to "clean up the scene" when the night came.

Many of us believe they're going too far. However noble their incentive was, their doings should not affect the daily living of the others.

On the other hand, people like Tao Kit (陶傑) pointed out, with excellent arguments, that a certain degree of inconvenience to everyone of us is an inevitable price to pay during the pursue of justice. (See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_sZZx11Ebw)

Which side should I take?
