There's a weird parallel story being formed of radical violence the past week. On Sunday, petrol bombs were thrown at the Court of Final Appeal and the High Court. Then, police found two GIANT bombs in Wan Chai. Now a small group allegedly attacks the MTR again? WTF intensifies

All the possibilities in this storyline seem equally implausible. I can't believe that this is a real thing, but I also can't believe that the police would fabricate such an elaborate set of schemes, or that China would set them up to look real. But one of the three must be true

So to review recent HKPF claims (tell me if I missed one) - Two 5kg bombs discarded in Wan Chai - Full-up test of drone bombs in Tuen Mun - Petrol bomb attack on two courts during CHRF march - Firebomb attack on Ngau Tau Kok MTR station - semi-auto pistol seized in Fortress Hill

All this against the backdrop of a peaceful 800+K march on Hong Kong island, and an enormous drop in tension and confrontational protest activity in general after the siege of PolyU ended nearly a month ago. These narratives don't fit with each other.

Adding this latest event to my Hong Kong fishiness thread. Guns are almost unheard of in Hong Kong, but today one was fired out in the street, like this is Florida? https://twitter.com/WBYeats1865/status/1208032594937270272 …
