Hong Kong protesters showed up the rest of the world’s demonstrators when, after a 2 million-strong march, they worked through the night to ensure not a scrap of trash was left in their wake.
The mass protests against an unpopular China extradition bill took place on June 16 and, after the 3km march was over, the diligent demonstrators worked into the night to ensure the streets they had marched on were not left strewn with litter.
Images circulated on social media showed young people working to pick up rubbish late at night, with a few doing a final sweep of the area the next morning.
This isn’t the first time Hong Kong protesters turned litter collectors after a march. Following the June 12 protests, demonstrators returned to the protest site to clean up after themselves.
The hardworking Hongkongers made a lot of other protesters look bad in comparison. When thousands of protesters gathered in London to show their opposition to President Donald Trump at the start of June, they left a trail of rubbish in their wake and were accused of hypocrisy for demonstrating against Trump’s climate policy while littering themselves.
Occupy ICE protesters in Portland sparked anger when they left their protest site looking like a scrap heap in 2018. Even the Dakota Pipeline protesters left millions of pounds of garbage behind when they were evicted from their demonstration site in 2017.

Ping.
That’s because they respect property and themselves. Contrast that with the self-absorbed, participation-trophy Snowflakes we have here. They expect someone else to do everything for them. The brats at Oberlin have even gone so far as “demanding” that there be no midterm exams, and no one should get less than a C because they are all special students.
Makes me want to barf.
I would put it in a positive way:
They are setting an example for others to clean up after themselves.
Tea Party protestors didn’t leave garbage behind either, it’s a leftist habit.
The leftist ego is immune to feelings of shame or self-awareness of their own bad behavior, so they aren’t capable of realizing that their actions reflect poorly on them or of adjusting their actions in response.
That’s nothing short of incredible.
This is supposedly the National Mall after the Glenn Beck rally:
Its weird. Its like they respect themselves and their fellow citizens or something.
I was thinking the same thing. The 2 big TEA Party street events I went to both left their part of Atlanta cleaner than we found it.
Hey
I am on vacation in Montana
Everywhere here and inWyoming Utah Idaho,
There is like NO roadside or city garbage
Folks here take pride in where they live
Maybe everywhere else ought to also
Rural Northern California, far from the coastal cities, is like that too.
When we had the anti Cindy Sheehan Ralley in Crawford, Texas we did not need a clean up crew.
We even emptied the trash barrels as we left.
We left the area better than we found.
Yes-they sound like FReepers. After one DC rally, a policeman said the lawn around the Washington Monument was never cleaner.
Yes. Tea Party rallys also left no garbage.
Hong Kong and its citizens can justifiably be very proud of themselves. Hell, I’m proud of them.
Tea Party rallys also left no garbage.
Thank You SeekAndFind. :)
THIS IS AWFUL!!!!!!
There’s NO DIVERSITY AT ALL!!!
Doesn’t matter if they didn’t act like the animals do here.
They need to diversify
We could send some to help them achieve diversification.
