I was concerned since my parents went back a week ago staying in Mong Kok. Been checking in with them and they've said they've barely seen anything so far of concern. I believe they arrived the day before the protests were hitting that area and they reported that a large crowd of people just passed through and kept moving and nothing crazy happened.

Airport protest ongoing

2 new protests today:

Another "grey hair" protest, where seniors delivered a petition in person


Second, a "protect our future" protest by parents who brought their young children, showing the future they are fighting for


Great examples of this movement not just being "lazy cockroaches" as the communists put it, or people who have "no stake in society" (that is a direct quote from Carrie Lam btw)

Fuck the CCP and their brainwashed bootlickers all around the world. If Hong Kong burns then at least it showed Taiwan and the world what happens when they give in to beijing

If cops pulled that shit anywhere else in the world, the cops would've been beaten up to pulp easily.

Really worrying that the breaking point is near.

shit, even the police in russia are much more civilized in the recent protests!

I hope the journalist will offer a verbal punishment to the PPRB and government officials when they do their BS scripted interviews.

Police hit a new low yesterday

Someone needs to roll tanks here, but not China. Someone needs to rescue Hong Kong from China :considered:

Badhobz 08-11-2019 07:53 PM

Here's the history of HK.

If anyone watched the shootout at Taikoo MTR station, there was a UK flag (which i can understand) and a US flag (FailFish)

Sad but the scene at Kwai Fong MTR Station (smoky station, police firing shotgun, green laser, turnstiles) reminds me exactly of Battlefield 4 Operation Metro

bcedhk 08-11-2019 09:18 PM

they were able to raise US 1 Mil in an hour today. The funds will go towards international ads to raise awareness of the Police Brutality.

HK PPRB should all just get axed... those guys have done nothing but more damage ever since the CE started the daily police briefing.

SkinnyPupp 08-11-2019 10:37 PM


More people than ever are showing up at the airport, in response to last night's violence by the police. Many are wearing eye patches, in honor of the young medic who (allegedly) will lose vision in that eye when a police office shot her with a beanbag round (edit:
)

There's been word that they've started targeting medics, so protesters don't have any support in case of injury. Countries at war don't even do this.

If the US couldn't beat back the chinese during the korean war, what makes you think Britain could fight back half way across the world in the 80s? It was basically give it back or we'll blow you a new asshole.

All flights cancelled. Those already inbound or have checked in can still leave.

Police earned all people must leave the premise by 6pm. The riot police are ready for deployment.

So how do u move a large crowd that can occupy most of terminal 1 arrival Hall onto a train network that has suspended operation...

U can't.

This is going to be the most sensitive clear out the city will have seen. There are still INBOUND FLIGHTS....

SkinnyPupp 08-12-2019 02:01 AM

Everyone is stuck at the airport, protesters and travellers. A lot of people who otherwise would never protest the "front lines" where the police have been attacking went to the airports today, considering how peaceful they'd been so far. A lot of people took the day off work today (Monday) to go there, after the atrocities of the police last night. My friend is there with his kid and wife right now.

Buses can't move people fast enough nor can the train. People literally can't leave, despite the police giving them an ultimatum.

6pm now, we'll see how this goes. The police so far have used tear gas with reckless abandon, gassing residential areas, press, gassing indoors, literally starting fires. They seemingly don't give a shit about their own people. Will they do the same to incoming travellers?

Tim Budong 08-12-2019 02:07 AM

people are trekkin to tung chung by foot...
this gonna be an interesting night.

the people succeeded on disrupting the airport

SkinnyPupp 08-12-2019 02:18 AM

The government can end this tomorrow easily

Not a single request is unreasonable

except the independent committee for disciplinary action against the police.
Im going to say Police morale probably at it's lowest point in years. this would destroy the force

StylinRed 08-12-2019 02:29 AM

The people can end this easily by accepting what they were given and quit beating a dead horse

There's no way that should not be considered. Wouldn't a government want their own police force to be accountable?
