In case you thought it was over, the Occupy protests in Hong Kong continue every day. The protesters want the right to freely elect the chief executive. Mainland China wants to screen and select candidates that would be eligible for election. I've been following the events on Twitter most evenings and a few nights ago I saw a few photos of Kenny G walking around with the protesters.
Then on his own account he posted a photo of himself at the protest area and said he hoped it had a positive outcome.
By the morning that tweet and photo had been deleted and replaced with some other messages saying that he doesn't support the Occupy movement and he wished people wouldn't use him like that.
To see all of the photos and see the twitter messages check this LINK.
Apparently the Chinese government was not happy about Kenny G slightly supporting the "illegal" protests and he was asked to remove the offending message. Not wanting to stand his ground in the face of losing some money Kenny G quickly followed orders. Sad.
