HONG KONG—Political turmoil engulfing this global financial center showed no signs of abating Sunday as tens of thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators marched through the streets in defiance of a police ban on the protest.
People of all ages, many unmasked and some carrying children, walked more than 2 miles from a shopping district, where usually busy stores were shuttered, to downtown Hong Kong. Many chanted, “Five demands! Not one less!,” “Fight for freedom!” and “Revolution of our times!”

But now the HK police is threatening to kill Hong Kong citizens participating in protest with guns and bullets. So sad!
Please saveHK China is going to turn HK into another Xinjiang and our youngsters were suffering badly. No more justice No more RuleOfLaw We need you to speak out. All our basic human rights were deprived sosHk

Most angering: state-sponsored gang gathered outside Fortress Hill and North Point MTR to beat up naysayers and anyone they think are protesters. They wield chairs and and bats and beat in front of the police. None got more than a telling off. None arrested. Blatant collusion.
demands through violence called terrorists.
Dear Investors, International investments in HK and using HK as bridge is at risk, see HSBC and cathaypacific . Protect your investments NOW by protecting HK 's Democracy and Freedom. Pressure yr industry, biz chambers, yr Reps, yr Senators to tell CCP stop messing with HK!
China has their tanks ready
Please someone just give a helping hand, the police in Hong Kong is out of control. They harm to the protester with heavy injuries. And please the US, pass the Human Rights and Democracy Act! PoliceBrutality StandWithHongKong
'we need to kill citizens'
free world should united as one to stand against chinese Communist
Why WSL just ignored the crimes and violence committed by these rioters, or so-called pro-democracy protecters? Where is your basic integrity as a well-known media? Could you report the truth, not selectively, not biased?
Hong Kong protesters will install their rights as a STOCK ROM & nothing can come into their path.
One more hidden yet obvious demand - independence.
I stand for justice..
The power of people / not government / blessings with you.
xikamkam It is believed that some of you may wonder why protesters would attack the pro-China. Because of these accidents shown in picture,if we don't fight back,we could be hurt. The protesters are just too scared and want to protect themselves and the others.
The protests in Hong Kong will not be over by 10/1. They understand the real purpose of the protest. The United States and China have clashed, and Hong Kong is drawing international attention. The Xi Jinping began to weaken.
Freedom is still important.
Give you more insight of how HK police treating Press/journalists Video capturing the response of Press — 🤬 reacting to Police fired water cannon towards Press without warning!
lijlau Pls passHKHumanRightsDemocracyAct
Hong Kong need real autonomy and real dual universal suffrage. Carrie Lam is just a puppet controlled by CCP and have no stake to HK.

I bet that this protest will be going on forever. Chinese gav. would never give what they demand for. The Authorities’ pride is too high to be giving up.
Wow
白宮聯署請求派遣美軍到港進行人道救援 簽＞等電郵＞確認簽署＞叫十個人簽
‘One country two systems’ is dead. HK is under controlled by CCP. The HKSAR government has never responded constructively to their outcry but has instead turned a blind eye to our appeals without regard to lives lost in exasperated pleas.
Don't go to hk, its too dangerous because of these mobs
that was why they were spooked by the extradition bill. they were said to be the sponsors behind these riots. their mission is to provoke china to respond violently so that the un can enforce sanctions. once china collapses, these criminals can rule forever.
hk is the haven for criminals. their triads consisted of thousands of members. many are wanted by china but they could not be extradited without the bill. hence they are free. but they won't be much longer. once hk returns to china, these criminals will be executed.
Hong Kong’s human rights situation is rapidly deteriorating, and the corrupted and brutal HKPolice is another main reason why people are still on the street. HKPoliceTerrorism chinazi 5DemandsNot1Less
Fed up with these riots! They insult democracy! They are mobs!
God bless them. I hope they succeed. I WANT Hong Kongers to succeed in obtaining their REASONABLE DEMANDS! But I also know that they are dealing with some truly evil, back stabbing, Chi-Com cunts!! Don’t be fooled! Verify EVERYTHING!
The HongKongProtest looks nothing like our nation's AntifaTerrorists when they protest. Are these HongKongProtesters calling for DeadCopsNow? Why do USA supporters of the DemocratPartyOfHate use so much violence?
They better be careful---troublemakers abound and they may be plants!
Hey! We HAD our revolution; maybe this is the time for China to have theirs....
The double standard that people are furious about. The excessive PoliceBrutality was only targeting protesters but not the gang. Therefore people can only resort to more extreme actions. Now laws cannot punish these groups anymore. FreeHongKong HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct

These Hong Kong riots,mafias: They hurt God They insult queen They destroy democracy They are totally hooligans They make troubles They did many the worst things They make Hong Kong ruined They are trash no any using They are called “fei qing”(waste young)
Protesters never start a fight. They just defend themselves. After 721, Tsuen Wan, North Point and numerous attacks near Lennon wall, protesters know they need to deter the triads and red thug this time. Those condemn the protester where have you been in 721?
Those thugs were backed by the CCP and HK police to beaten up protesters!! I'm afraid they wouldn't get arrested!! HongKongProtests HongKongPoliceTerrorist
Pro-beijing or 'Fujianese' mobs even attacked foreign journalists. if WSJ got staff in hk plz be careful!
hk police allowed white gangsters to attack citizens, but one protester who save a hk citizen, got hit by hk police PoliceBrutality SOSHK HongKongProtests
The police n the redthugs allied to beat hkers up again although this was a peaceful march.
Police in cahoots with thugs attack citizens again and arrest people who get hurt. That’s why they become Hong Kong’s most hated, shame on HK Police!
Hong Kong police refused to arrested the pro-china mob/thug/gangster that attacked peaceful HongKongers for so many times. Hong Kong police never serve the law equally.
Dirty cops coop wf red thugs
The pro-beijing supporter almost want to Kill hongkonger and the HongKongPolice didn't arreste them but shake hand with them😱😱
The pro-china mob start to attack the citizens and protesters outside the subway station. The police just stand there and doing nothing instead of watching. When the law cannot punish the mob, someone will do it. PoliceBrutality chinazi
Hong Kong Police corporates with the gangster!
Police not just ban demonstration, they led protestors to an area with gangsters waiting to beat them up. Police then came out to arrest the protestors while letting the gangsters go. FreeHK HKPoliceTerrorism chinazi

If you are confuse by why MOB in white get attack here is the reason HKPoliceTerrorism work with MOB to attack citizens AGAIN!!!!! Citizens fight back just to protect themselves and their beloved ones!

The water is getting more muddy. The movement also covers the police hurting people wearing black and corruption that is brewing in HK.
What has he done before? And why police arrest this guy?
Supposedly it was peaceful with millions of people. Police rejected protest application by Civil Human Rights Front. We didnt care and went to streets. End up with attacks and arrests by the police and pro-beijing mobs. chinazi PoliceBrutality antiELAB 5DemandsNot1Less

You can’t deny that these people love their country . and it’s worth fight for democracy, take notes America
Shame on them and the medias who just selectively report. Why WSL selected not to report the crimes these so-called protesters, in reality rioters, did? That's the reason of the police ban. WSJ twisted the truth and mislead people outside China. I understood Trump now.

The police may ban every protest out there but it will not stop HKers from exercising their own human right, the right of demonstration
Yep, that is democracy
acid, molotov cocktails, this is not a protests it's armed attacks.
God bless them!
March on we HongKongers !
WSJ does not tell a thing about the street violence and vandalism, and how the masked black T-shirts brutally attack civilians who disagree with them. How shameful that they claim it is for freedom and democracy.
Fight for democracy on International democracy day. HongKongers will not surrender
It's against human rights n Basic Law to put a ban on the demonstration!
Americans love you HK!! Stay strong!! This is a revolution!! Go for full independence!
Every demonstrations are very peaceful in Hong Kong if there are no cops PoliceBrutality
