No they're not. They're being removed by police for setting up encampments on private property. You can't just start setting up tents wherever you want on private land and taking over the area.
It might still be a bad idea to remove them, but if they were just doing standard protests in public areas, it'd be much less of an issue.
- paganel 3y agoSo you're saying the Chinese authorities were right in evacuating the Tiananmen Square, after all you cannot forcefully block public places without the proper authorization either. Like I said, let's cut the charade and look at the facts.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoAbsolute freedom exists nowhere. Absolute unfreedom also exists nowhere. Still, some places are more free than others. alephnerd made a number of comparisons of the US to China; you have refuted none of them. You merely complain that the US is not absolutely free of consequences for your actions. Well, that's true, but if that's what you're looking for, try an uninhabited island (and you may not even find it there).
- TulliusCicero 3y agolol, "evacuating". Come the fuck on. Merely arresting people and forcing them out of the square would've meant it would be a blip in history. The Tiananmen Square massacre is famous because it was a massacre. Even official figures said that hundreds of people died.
