I am sorry Riot? this might be the wrong word.

  A wild or turbulent disturbance created by a large number of people.

or maybe not.

HK people are pissed, sad, mad demanding their paper back.

QuoteThere have been riots on the streets of Hong Kong following heavy losses at the city's Hang Seng index.

The Hang Seng closed over 8% lower with losses in banks, communications companies and exploration companies.

Customers are trying to get their money out of bank branches and many are protesting about losses related to the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

Earlier, trading on the stock exchange in Jakarta was halted because today's falls were so severe.

RTE are as as given to exaggeration and spin as any other broadcaster.
"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses generally referred to as \'international bankers.\' This little coterie... run our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under cover of a self-created screen, seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."
John F. Hylan (1868-1936) - Former Mayor of New York City

Quote from: "sullivan"RTE are as as given to exaggeration and spin as any other broadcaster.

Thailand is having riots, where people are dying and being beaten.

HK is just a bunch of pissed of suckers [investors] demanding their paper. I do suspect that riots will come, as of today, I have not seen anything near a riot other then the WTO battles a few years back, when they broke out the tear gas and the Korean farmer were rounded up.
