Thanks for filling in the information. So there're two confirmed cases, and an alleged failed kidnap attempt.
But these are still exceptional cases, the vast majority of HK people have no reason to fear the same fate.
> The extradition law that sparked these protests was a formalisation/legalisation of a decade long string of kidnappings with increasing frequency and visibility.
Where are the reports to back up this "a decade long string of kidnappings"? Or are there just the same three cases?
Where's the evidence China was behind the extradition law?
In any case, the extradition law has been officially (announced to be) withdrawn. Stop using it to justify the continuing and escalating violence and destruction.
You are discarding the kidnapping of five HK nationals from HK which alone would be enough to spark a major international incident anywhere else. You were given the evidence that you asked for and your only response is to ask for more of the same and double down on your viewpoint despite it being contradicted by the information you were just given.
Would you reconsider your viewpoint even if you were given an entire essay detailing everything you just asked for? If you can honestly say yes, I'll consider it. But I have a feeling there isn't enough evidence in the world for you.
I can't reconcile your comments with conscionable good-faith behaviour that's commonplace on HN.
