    HK Protests & Politics: May 2020 News

    Singalong at IFC achieved it's primary goal I suppose, the place is now crawling with cops closing the Atrium (oh because they can't sing elsewhere?). HK Police State in full display in Central. They are still using the health emergency excuse.

    Perhaps they should stat singing the National Anthem when the cops approach.

    Was just in IFC trying to buy natto in City Super when the riot police marched past with reporters in tow. They descended from the bridge to DB...I followed them and they made a cordon and then pushed us back...I have a pic I will upload later, too much trouble with the phone on the ferry. They had cameras as well, quite a few...people called out the usual insults...seemed many very young looking female officers, really small, they need every person they can find...

    So I followed the police from City Super to just past the atrium, then they made a line with this orange tape and then started pushing us back. And by "us" I mean about 35 people or so, mostly just people like me who followed these twits to see where they were going...

    You can see the stores have put up their shutters, not eager to be tear gassed, pepper sprayed, etc.

    Wow, according to Carrie Lam this (checks notes) tycoon has no stake in society?

    Seems like there is an escalation planned over May 1st... have heard about something called "Operation Pegasus".

    I guess we should be staying home on the 1st?
