Tonight you could walk for miles in Hong Kong and not find a gap in the human chain (except when the light turned red at a crosswalk; this is a civilized city!). A very uplifting show of unity by all Hong Kongerspic.twitter.com/lvVzxdBYjF

It seems likely that the lull in police violence will end tomorrow. Peaceful protesters got their week, but the government squandered the opportunity to extend an olive branch. Now the peaceful faction will stand in solidarity with the more confrontational group
The protesters in Hong Kong understand that they must not be divided. So there is great tolerance for a diversity of tactics. I watched frustrated frontline fighters do nothing and go home last week without confronting police, in the name of unity. Now they'll have their turn.
A final thing I'd like to point out is what a risk this was. The #HongKongWay was conceived and organized in less than a week, by a completely decentralized group of people. If it had had poor turnout, people would have pounced on it as evidence that the HK protests were dying

See, you are fighting against plain English here, @TimMaddog . It's the mainland. They did this shit. This is not the place to litigate 2000 year-old etymology.
