I do agree with your analogy of parents and kids, but in this
case, the parents are extremely wealthy given their huge paychecks,
while the kids are starving, and the kids wanted to know why,
instead of an open communication, the parents sent hooligans to
barricade them from having a fair judgement. I believe this is so
wrong, it just gives other countries a bad impression of poligans
in actions, oh and that's intentionally mispelt poligans.
They are doing things peacefully bear in mind, they are not violent
at all. If there is anyone trying to be violent, it's the poligans
here, preventing them from moving around. I have some high traffic
websites and blogs and when the video is posted up, people asks me
why the police in singapore treat their citizens that way... I
really don't know, although I am happy to be a Singaporean, but I
feel sorry about what SOME people do to suppress freedom.
