Yon Reports from Hong Kong

Freelance war correspondent and former Special Forces operator Michael Yon emails reports from Hong Kong, about the conflict there between the Beijing government and the former colony's citizens.  Instapundit has posted it for all to see.

Yesterday’s protest was massive. I have not even slept yet. Estimated 1.7m people. Crowds are notoriously difficult to estimate, but I will confirm it was absolutely massive, stretching for miles in pouring rain. Massive.

Hong Kong is China’s brain tumor. Do nothing…tumor grows. Operate…the procedure could kill the communist party.

This is very serious.... Do not underestimate what is happening here.

As someone noted, Hong Kong protesters wave U.S. flags while Antifa burns them.
