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)

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

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

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

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.

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....

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?

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