Heh. As Twitchy readers know, Vox upped its already high level of stupidity when it claimed protesters in Hong Kong were showing solidarity with Ferguson. How? By putting their hands up. No, really. That happened.
The mockery was swift and sure, but it got even better when this photo-filled hashtag entered the mix.
Have at it, Twitter!
