More than 100 student protesters are still barricaded inside Hong Kong Polytechnic University on the third day of their standoff with police.

More than 1,000 others have been arrested, and as Redmond Shannon reports, police are waiting to arrest the rest of the demonstrators.

If you are afraid of being charged or arrested then do not attempt to commit crime, honey. Don’t be a crying baby and stand up to your actions and surrender.

How did HK parents educate your children? Now, the only way is sending them to jail!!

[kriskris]

Education starts from HOME. Parents are responsible for these illegal protestors immoral and unlawful violent acts.

So much for the arrogant slogan "Give me liberty or Give me death", eh. When the reality kicks in, hunger, exhausted, fear of being charged, everything crumbles.

Their slogan, "be water", never really thought they would literally meant the underground sewage tunnel.

The freedom democracy without economic prosperity (food on on the table, decent housing, job security, travel the world freely) is meaningless.

The reality is, Hong Kong is a service economy, highly dependent on tourism and access to Chinese market. It does not have land to transform, and directly border with mainland.

No matter the outcome, democracy or not, Hong Kong will still be highly dependent on Chinese market to survive economically.

The question is, would you rather lose your job or shouting freedom 24/7/365?

Many of these kids are typical idealist by the book and easily influenced and have not experienced the breadwinner role.

I myself could easily be in their shoes in such young age, and as you grow, would realize that many in this world is not purely black or white.

[seetyokechung]

[chuanamelia]

Until these time still protect the rioters. Really insane. They will never learnt their lesson if they are not punish

[zhangangzhang]

your children? What are you doing before you crying? shame on you all.

[YSWK]

What their parents were doing for the last 4 months now they are crying their kids

[red_fox]

First change your wording they are not protesters but rioters.

[rightleft]

Police gave them hundreds of chances before and they chose to continue doing crimes, and the adults supported them, now the drama is going to the end and these adults asking people for help, very good acting skill just like all the western politicians clowns, police should put these actors to the jail too.

[dabbiana]

You want ur children safety after getting cornered, but didnt dare to urge them stop violent while in protest.

[userb]

Show their faces.
If you were “afraid of being charged”, then you should not have been in the University in the first place.

[nicaxis]

These parents should be charged too for allowing their kids to go on rampant violent acts

[kzyah]

You need to responsible for what you did ! Yes, you violated the law, you have to be charge !
