How many people support the protest movement gripping Hong Kong in an ever increasing cycle of violence and wanton destruction? We explore whether there is a silent majority, left voiceless and intimidated by the louder narrative of broad public support for the demonstrations. The city entered its 20th straight weekend of protests with an illegal march that quickly descended into chaos as radicals went on an arson spree targeting MTR stations and mainland-Chinese linked shops. Earlier, city leader Carrie Lam turned to housing and welfare initiatives to soothe an angry public in her policy address but critics said she missed the opportunity to break the impasse. Another drama of the week was the beating of an activist, in an alleged bid to scare him and others into giving up their peaceful protest activities. Stay with us as we bring you the latest in the protest scene.
