Umbrella Revolution -Pearson Chambers 6th

HONG KONG — Pro-democracy protesters took to the streets Tuesday in a growing confrontation with China over the financial hub's future as either an enclave of freedom or another communist-controlled city.

Protest leaders set a Wednesday deadline for a response from the government to their demands for reforms and said they would soon announce new civil disobedience plans.

Some protesters are already labeling the movement "the umbrella revolution" for the umbrellas many are holding to deflect pepper spray and tear gas that was lobbed by police on Sunday night.

Hong Kong, once a British territory, is fighting for democracy. They are trying to avoid falling under China's crazy communist system.

  2. It always angers me when I hear about police brutality to non-violent protesters. They literally need umbrellas to protect them from pepper spray, and that is not okay! I hope they get what they are fighting for.
