Hong Kong on some next level shit, no-selling tear gas canisters.
Teamwork makes the dream work babes!!
Nothing says friendship like destroying a communist police state together
If anyone is wondering what’s going on in Hong Kong right now, people are protesting a bill that would allow for extradition of fugitive offenders. The issue people have with the proposed amendment is that it would open up the citizens of Hong Kong–which is independent–to falling under mainland Chinese law.
The bill potentially places in high risk anyone with openly critical views about the governing and policies in mainland China. Given that there have already been many abductions from Hong Kong–particularly of bookstore owners selling materials of a critical nature–this legislation would only enable the Chinese government in further silencing political dissent.
Bear in mind that mainland China is where Winnie the Pooh continues to be banned from mention on all social media because people were making humorous comparisons between Pooh and Xi Jinping–the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (aka the current President of China).
America is far from perfect, but at least we have the freedom to publicly ridicule the bags of raw sewage running this shitshow without fear of either censorship, or legislation that would allow the government to arrest us for it.
That’s what the Hongkong police do now, they are on the same side with the thugs, turn a blind eye when people are being attacked.
Then they attack and arrest ordinary people who participate in legal gathering. The police issued letter of no objection to the march on 1 January 2020, over a million people were in it, yet they were told to stop the march and leave in a very short period of time.
Over 400 people were arrested on 1 January, some of the arrestees were just passerby who happened to be in the area.
The police had been surrounded the Polytechnic University for 2 days, some of the student’s parents started a sit-in to support the students, later more and more people join in.
There are people calling others to go to the Polytechnic University after work in order to help evacuate the students, people gathered in the Tsim Sha Tsui area and walked to the university, most of them do not have any protective gears as they rush to the scene after work. Though the police used teargas and water cannons on them, the group of people insisted walking to support the students.
From 2015 to 2019, the city gained an average of 53,000 new residents per year. Yet that is roughly the same number of people who departed Hong Kong, during the first two weeks of March alone, according to the city’s Immigration Department.
Many people and companies are moving to Singapore, though some expatriates are returning home and Hong Kongers are applying for residency under new visa programs launched in Canada and the United Kingdom.
There’s also an increase in moves from Hong Kong to Dubai, Japan, South Korea and Thailand, according to insiders.

“Before 2010, it was mostly retirees who joined. But these few years, the proportion of young people joining has increased,” Lam tells HKFP. Politics, he observes, is partly behind the phenomenon.
The rejection of mainland produce in favour of buying – and growing – local has for some people become a way of expressing solidarity with the pro-democracy movement when few methods remain.
BeWater Mart – its name a nod to a 2019 protest mantra meaning to respond fluidly – sells almost exclusively Hong Kong-produced goods. Besides vegetables, the shops’ shelves are lined with everything from local craft beer to accessories to organic soap.
“Often, we say we love Hong Kong. But what does that mean?” Chung, 32, asks, adding that one’s consumption choices are strongly tied to identity.
There is a common refrain on many local farms, Tsang says: “Hong Kong people grow Hong Kong veggies.”
After the demonstration on 21st July, there were a bunch of men in white, believe to be gangsters, walking around in Yuen Long and beating up everyone whom they believe to had joined the rally earlier today. They had weapons and even enter the platform of the railway to attack people.
People called emergency hotline, the response is ‘Don’t go out if you’re scared.’ Then they were hanged up. Yuen Long Police Station was shut down, clips showing that patrolling police ignored the gangsters’ attacking citizens.
The police had been complained before for use of excessive force, many believe they are ignoring the gangsters on purpose.
Words can no longer express how sad and disappointed I am
This has nothing to do with your political views or taking sides, this is plain simple black and white.
Police is here to serve and protect
Not vengeance through others hands
Spreading this to me is hoping to gain awareness to the rest of the world, freedom is what we should all be born with.
Why? Why do we fight so hard just to be heard? Yet, they are not only getting ignored now getting beaten up too
