Honk Kong is having a shitstorm
I have a friend from Hong Kong so she keeps me posted regarding the situation.
So apparently the protestor all wear black, so you know they can identify among themselves and stuff. Usual organized protest stuff. But recently there has been a group of violent people wearing white and they’ve been harassing anyone that wears black, even non-protestors (since black is a common workplace color). And I’m talking really violent here. They carry around PVC pipes and bamboo sticks, and they wear masks too.
A lot of people got hurt. Teenagers, hell even a pregnant woman. So some people are stocking on food and are too afraid to leave the house. Hong Kong is like under martial law or something at the moment. A few beefier people are trying their best to protect the protestors, even the firemen because the police are useless there.
Yep, police are (in some rumors) ordered by the government to not intervene. This is why they’re not there during the violent happenings. Calls don’t reach office and when they do, it’s just shit advice. The firemen however are allowed to help as much as they can.
Also, did you know at one point, Hong Kong police refused to allow injured protestors into hospitals, and those that do get in are arrested for needing medical care?
Yep. The city is in chaos.
