That's a stretch, especially since it didn't happen in some isolated corner. They beat him up in front of a mass group of legitimate protesters who did not stop them. Even if the provocateurs are the ones who initiated the "legitimate" protesters are complicit too and probably joined in. I was in full support of the HK protesters, but not I'm worried they are turning into a dangerous mob.

I mean, what do you expect after 2 months of peaceful protests and no indication of any shift in policy?

I’m just quoting here, but this has seemed incredibly appropriate to these protests:

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
