Noting that the Airport is the only means for Hong Kong to receive international travelers and for the city's residents to go to faraway places, he said the full weight of the laws of Hong Kong must bear upon the protesters who have caused the blockage at the Airport to prevent the disruptions and violence from happening again.

I think it is also important for the silent majority of Hong Kong to come out to speak out so that we have enough weight of public opinion to stop these people from repeating these totally senseless and brutal activities at our Airport, he added.Calling the protesters that attacked the two men gangsters, Leung said the majority of Hong Kong people are peace-loving and law-abiding.Meanwhile, he said Hong Kong police had exercised maximum restraint and described them as very well trained and very professional compared with what police do in Western countries.
