Street Fires Burn In Hong Kong Amid Battles Between Protesters And Police

HONG KONG (Reuters) – Hong Kong police fired water cannon, rubber bullets and round after round of tear gas at petrol bomb-throwing protesters on Sunday in some of the most widespread and violent clashes in more than three months of anti-government unrest.

Running battles in the Causeway Bay shopping district, Wan Chai bar area and the Admiralty district of central government offices followed a night of showdowns with police in the Chinese-ruled city, where street fires burned as dusk fell.

More protests are planned in the run-up to China’s Oct. 1 National Day, marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic. read more

  1. The people, up against an amoral totalitarian government, really can’t quit. They probably know the outcome if arrested… beatings through torture through organ harvesting through being shot into a ditch. Imagine the absolute desperation. Win or die, with winning looking like a long outside chance and NO HELP from the supposed ‘democratic’ governments.
