TIL of the Yuen Long attack, where hundreds of suspected Triad members, in order to "counter-protest", took to the streets, beating people indiscriminately with metal poles and wooden canes. (en.m.wikipedia.org)

I've been reading into the topic of the 2019-2020 HK protests, and I find this really familiar with the recent reddit protests. Both started with a not well taken change, both started peacefully, but were surrounded by controversy on both sides. There were also the change supporters, who eventually won when the higher power came in and extinguished the protest.

(Yes, I know reddit is a Chinese app so laugh it up.)
