"I think, of course, those young men, their future is not on the street. They should realize they have been used as the cannon fodders by those politicians, by those leaders. They should be re-educated and learn what is the true meaning of the rule of law is. They should say no to violence and go back to their classrooms. Otherwise, we will see a very ironic situation that their leader will go to Yale to study, but they will have to go to jail. Nobody wants to see this situation happen. As far as the impact of the riots on Hong Kong economy is concerned, and people see the economic situation in Hong Kong is getting worse, especially in the tourist industry, when many people also in Hong Kong see the violence, see the dangerous situation in Hong Kong, they will not come to Hong Kong either to study, to work, or to do business."

"The reality in Hong Kong now is the protesters set up barracks [barriers] in various major artilleries [arteries] including major roads and tunnels. Now as a result, the people actually disgruntled when they approach the barracks [barriers], actually the cars were stopped and the protesters were actually smashing the wind screens of the cars. So it is a very horrific incident I would say."

"Any time you have a pilot, from any airline, who's arrested for violence in a riot or any kind of violence, every country that I know, and probably every airline, will suspend the pilot and eventually, if he's proved guilty, will usually be fired, and the safety is very important for every airline, and it's very important that you have a pilot who is not involved or doesn't get emotional. Sometimes you don't think and your emotions take over, but as a pilot, you should be very disciplined and stick to your job. That's the most important thing."

The future of Hong Kong youth is not on the street, and they should realize they have been used as the cannon fodders by those politicians and leaders, said Gu Minkang, the Justice of the Peace in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on Saturday.

As common people in Hong Kong suffer due to the unrest, Nathan Law, a leader of the recent violent protests in Hong Kong has left the city for the United States to get a master's degree at Yale University.

Law posted on Facebook that he had arrived in New York, and called on remaining protesters to keep fighting. Pursuing an overseas education seems to be popular with protest leaders, as this is not the first time one has been admitted to a top university abroad. Previous protest leaders Edward Leung attended Harvard University, Alex Chow went to the London School of Economics and Political Science, and Ray Wong attended the University of Oxford.

Gu Minkang, also former professor and associate dean of the City University of Hong Kong's School of Law, called this result "ironic".

"I think, of course, those young men, their future is not on the street. They should realize they have been used as the cannon fodders by those politicians, by those leaders. They should be re-educated and learn what is the true meaning of the rule of law is. They should say no to violence and go back to their classrooms. Otherwise, we will see a very ironic situation that their leader will go to Yale to study, but they will have to go to jail. Nobody wants to see this situation happen. As far as the impact of the riots on Hong Kong economy is concerned, and people see the economic situation in Hong Kong is getting worse, especially in the tourist industry, when many people also in Hong Kong see the violence, see the dangerous situation in Hong Kong, they will not come to Hong Kong either to study, to work, or to do business," he said.

The recent violence in Hong Kong has severely affected the region's transportation, public services and people's lives. Hong Kong police have been targets of violent acts. And as clashes go on, many have called for peace to be restored.

"The reality in Hong Kong now is the protesters set up barracks [barriers] in various major artilleries [arteries] including major roads and tunnels. Now as a result, the people actually disgruntled when they approach the barracks [barriers], actually the cars were stopped and the protesters were actually smashing the wind screens of the cars. So it is a very horrific incident I would say," said Lawrence Ma, a barrister and Chairman of Hong Kong Legal Exchange Foundation.

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam said Monday that Hong Kong is in a "very dangerous situation". And protests are putting the city's future and the livelihood of its seven million people in jeopardy.

In a statement issued on Monday, a government spokesperson said the protesters' behavior "showed a total disregard of the law", posing a serious threat to police and public safety.

The increasingly violent demonstrations have pushed the city towards what the Hong Kong government calls "an extremely dangerous edge".

The protests aren't just in the streets, but the airport as well. Sit-in protests at the Hong Kong International Airport lasted three days over last weekend. Over 1,000 black-clad protesters swarmed the arrival hall, all chanting anti-government slogans.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong-based airline Cathay Pacific Airways Limited has fired two pilots accused of taking part in the protests. The company also announced on Friday that Rupert Hogg has resigned as the chief executive officer and Paul Loo has resigned as the chief customer and commercial officer with effect from Aug. 19.

"Any time you have a pilot, from any airline, who's arrested for violence in a riot or any kind of violence, every country that I know, and probably every airline, will suspend the pilot and eventually, if he's proved guilty, will usually be fired, and the safety is very important for every airline, and it's very important that you have a pilot who is not involved or doesn't get emotional. Sometimes you don't think and your emotions take over, but as a pilot, you should be very disciplined and stick to your job. That's the most important thing," said Allan Zeman, a board member with the Airport Authority of Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong police were once hailed as Asia's finest, but as of late they've been under tremendous pressure. They have had to face verbal and physical attacks from rioters on the frontlines of Hong Kong's protests. But on social media, the Hong Kong police are also receiving huge levels of support.

A netizen named Xu Yanling writes on Weibo that "the Hong Kong police have been working day and night for the peace and stability of our country, and I pay tribute to the officers."

Another netizen writes, "We are all family and our name is China. We support the Hong Kong police!"

Yet another user says 1.4 billion compatriots are behind them.

A post on Facebook reads, "Ah Sir, we've got your back". "Ah Sir" is a way to respectfully address policemen in Hong Kong.
