Time to reopen remaining Vietnamese refugee detention centres, and arrest the violent protesters, or else this is going to blow up

They don't need to do that, there are only a few hundred violent protesters, if that. Maybe a bit over a thousand


My wife barely made it home from work, everyone who isn't protesting is trying to get out of the city. Buses are barely moving, and packed, with people getting on at the exit doors at stops.

Feeling like I didn't plan ahead very well, we might be stuck at home all weekend. We should be safe from the police out here in the boonies, but getting food might be an issue if merchants can't get to work to open the doors.

Will prob be another sleepless night. I have to make sure not to engage with the trolls here.

True, I doubt the violent an anarchists are really that high in number, although after this law, I imagine the anarchists will have a few more members.

You should order a tonne of takeout right now, and just put it in your fridge/freezer

My aunt was going to get out of HK, don't know if she ended up leaving yet though, she's in her late 80s, and has a tough time as is. Lives by Victoria park, and she's basically been a shut in since this began (hard to get a hold of her cuz she can't hear her phone often)

Still waiting for the silent majority. 4 months and counting.

Undercover or off-duty cop (assuming he's a cop, not sure yet since they don't carry ID anymore), allegedly drives his car into a crowd of protesters, shoots a 14 year old, is beaten and set on fire momentarily


I am starting to feel bad for some of these cops, the govt is setting them up to be fall guys. Edit: I wrote that before I found out he allegedly drove into some people. Anyway wtf is he doing by himself shooting at people? Don't know enough, have to wait for more footage.

MTR train on fire,

High court is in emergency session deciding on an appeal of the anti mask law

Mr.Money 10-04-2019 07:17 AM

glad real shit is going down,its almost like pay back from what has already happen of police forces going after innocent by-standers.


its like the LA Riots when black people were being beat the shit out of from racists and couldn't stand it anymore.

Same stance as before, no matter what your feelings are towards the police this has got to stop. It's one thing to throw rocks or things at them but throwing petro bombs, acid, and pretty much just out to kill is so far past the line I can't even see the line anymore.

When this is finally over I wonder how many police offers need to take leave for mental health. No doubt the stress is insane. Getting hated on by people possible even family and friends. At the end of the day they are also citizens of Hong Kong and heck they may even share the same views as the people attacking them but they have a job to do and don't really have a choice.

No doubt in my mind someone is going to die soon, could be a protester or a cop. Neither will be surprising.

This could have been stopped in June. The 5 demands aren't outrageous at all, and in fact the most important one is already written into law, just being ignored.

This is 100% on the government. Everything they've done has been leading to this. I said it in June, and I'll continue to say it until proven otherwise.

There is NO WAY a normal critically thinking person would think an emergency banning of masks would be in the best interest of public safety. There is NO WAY anyone would think that people wouldn't be more outraged than ever. THEREFORE you can only assume it was done with the sole purpose of causing outrage.

You do have a choice. Quit your job. Don't complain if you get lynched by the mob. You want to continue beating down citizens for money, but cry when they fight back? It's part of your pay package.

Don't know if anyone posted this but yea HKPF

Basically shot the kid who attacked him with a plastic rod, then the police tried to frame him with a different sharpened metal rod.

They've been casually doing that since the beginning. I'm not sure if it is a flat out 'frame job' but most likely they were going to use that as evidence in any hearings. They won't be able to now that the video came out.

Maybe they'll ban cameras next

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if every Huawei phone in China has a function built in where the police can shut off their cameras LUL

Also I am 100% convinced that every picture taken on a Huawei phone is sent to a database to improve their facial recognition Kappa

Whether or not the 5 demands should be met or not this Carrie Lam chick does seem like a shitty leader though.

I'm really not sure what it will take for this to end. Even if the 5 demands are met at this point i'm not sure it will fully stop.

twdm - You say that with such ease. There are hundreds of reasons why it isn't as easy as you make it sound. Sure just quit and be jobless and try to find another job right? Perhaps you have a mortgage, a spouse, kids, sick parents, or even simply just paying your own rent and food. Oh but sure don't worry just quit because the choice between the stress of this situation and the stress of being jobless is fine.

SkinnyPupp 10-04-2019 09:39 AM

It should be noted that there are tons of cops that aren't out there shooting press with rubber bullets and protesters with tear gas and pepper spray while laughing and taunting, and knocking people on their asses smashing their heads into bikes, and pushing people down escalators and walking away, and cracking skulls with batons with no criminal charges, and sexually abusing men and women.

etc.

Most of them are just trying to keep the peace, which unfortunately means they're being set up by their government, since the government is trying to do the opposite.

It was all over the news and I didnt believe it until I saw the clip.

Not sure what the story is; even the news was vague on whether he did shoot a kid or not. But throwing someothing setting him on fire was wtffff moment for me.

LOL no service from MTR. Are they trying to piss off more people by not providing ways people can get around the city hoping so less people will come back to protest?

Just saw this

https://twitter.com/tictoc/status/11...803986944?s=21

The old white member of the "press" got in front of the banker, closed the door, thereby blocking the bankers exit, so that he could be swarmed by the crowd, for simply saying "we're all Chinese"

You can see the hurt in his face from being told to go home, to the point that he had to yell out were all one people.. Aww feel bad for the guy, makes me dislike that "journalist" even more
