Thousands of Hong Kong students hunker down at several universities, surrounded by piles of food, bricks, petrol bombs, catapults and other homemade weapons

Thousands of students hunkered down at several universities on Thursday, surrounded by piles of food, bricks, petrol bombs, catapults and other homemade weapons.

He also said police would temporarily avoid directly clashing with “high-spirited rioters” to give themselves a breather and avoid injuries. Baptist University, next to a People’s Liberation Army base in Kowloon Tong, issued an “urgent appeal”, telling students to stay away from campus. China’s Global Times tabloid, owned by the official newspaper of the ruling Communist Party, the People’s Daily, said on Twitter that the Hong Kong government was expected to announce a weekend curfew after some of the worst violence in decades in the former British colony.

Police fired tear gas near the tunnel early on Thursday to try to clear the protesters. Protesters threw petrol bombs at the Kowloon-side tunnel turnstiles late in the evening and the tunnel remained closed.

So many bots in the comment section liking each others' posts. I never thought I'd say a sentence like 'a group of online bots ordered by the government to jerk each other off'

Give them sword in hand with no sharpness Tell them to practice Hit the smallest particle of sun raise Practice practice practice Your sword become sharpest Sword in the world

If the west really want to support the black masked fighters, they should give them a way out. They know well, the rioters won’t win this with CCP. They should provide them with asylum in their country. 2 million ppl, they say. I’m sure China is happy to have them gone, anywhere.

As in the movie Shane, 'there's too many Shane,' on the mainland China, look at your holding card, things aren't going to go good when the mainland army shows up. I wish them the best for what they are standing up for.

Look at the teargas shells, that's what Hong Kong Police fired towards Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Seriously, you too ? No mention of 2,000+ toxic tear gas canisters fired by HKPolice into universities & residential areas just this past week?

They're preparing for their future career

jamespomfret You foget to mention this happened after HK police fired 1567 tear gas, 1312 rubber bullets and 380 beanbag rounds towards Chinese University of Hong Kong, in one single day.

😲

FreeHongKong

This has gone to far China need to interfere now end all of this .

S,B

Students in hong kong need support

这帮人去当农民工啊,读大学浪费了,哈哈哈,逗死个人

when they affect university just like terrorists

Time to calm down

In 1997, HK was the goose with the golden egg for China. HK GDP was more than 30% of China's GDP. Todays, it is merely less than 3%. HK is a goose with a regular egg & shit. HK violent youngster had digging their own graves. Instead of civilized protest, they turn violent

riots👎

In USA, anti-government terrorists like these have already been shot. 😌

If they want a civil war then there's no stopping one.

great example for protesters in Spain us France and england

If you feel so strongly about the “infrastructure”, have you said anything when thugs attacked train passengers? When police stopped ambulance from rescuing people? When tear gas was fired towards firefighters and into apartments with kids and elderly?

This was us in 1776. Today's America is a disgrace, the only way our President would help them is if they had dirt on Biden. So much for democracy. realdonaldtrump is a disgrace to the office.

NeverGiveUp 💪🏽✊✊🙏

You know how this will end right.....

加油香港,给反对者做出榜样,解放西方世界

The WORLD needs to learn to make PROTEST like the BRAZILIAN 🇧🇷: ▶ ️ Have champagne🍾 ▶ ️ Has protest muse 💃 ▶ ️ You can drink and talk football with friends ⚽ ▶ ️ Have good music 🎶

They’re violent thugs.

Those rioters is good on twisted the truth all over media. A lot of people from western country are brain washed! Not even do a fact check and think those protestor are the heros!! There’s no freedom democracy before peace!! Stop heroism those rioters who are being terrorists!!

Rubber bullets and nerve gas will calm them down.

I must say. I'm from India and I've seen many Tibetans who've left China after China's illegal occupation. To see Hong Kongers fight China and CPC like this. Man they're brave. Tbh China is digging a bigger hole for themselves.

Seriously these protestors astound me. They give me hope for humanity

ISIS

Thx for gov't endless violence and suspected murder case. don't listen to CCP ,they don't uphold promise . chinazi

These are terrorists at work, when they say they want to kill, that is terrorism.

HongKong hasn’t been part of China for over a century and the people there are not Chinese. The western world should do everything we can to back up HongKongers. Liberty is too precious to be wiped out. Wiping it out can become contagious.

Oh wow!

Just like ISIS.

Wow!

HongKongStrong StandWithHongKong

As goes Hong Kong, goes the world 🌻

NadimKoteich this too, the Lebanese forces were behind it 🤣

Looks like Ukraine.

Hong Kong rioting for democracy, Chile rioting for socialism 🤦🏽‍♂️

Xi created this situation. He has trashed his true trade jewel HK while running around the world to establish trade partnerships. Makes no sense. But then, he also banned Winnie the Pooh...

Why doesn't Trump praise democracy seeking Hong Kong?

Garbage can

Urban gorilla warfare

Tiannamen 2 on youtube soon.

Aren't they the right ways of protecting our civilian homes and families against attacks, raids, invasions, brutality.....?
