      [Thread] We are into Day 2 of general strike in HK. Morning news suggest massive police presence in major MTR lines while CUHK is once again surrounded by raptors. Everything is all over the place. Heading to Mongkok to check out what's happening. #HongKongProtestspic.twitter.com/BtXEQTVw6x

      Lots of abandoned buses just sitting around in Mongkok. Many people are taking pictures at this strange sight. The city usually resumes daily routine after a night of protest, but this morning has been quite different. #HongKongProtestspic.twitter.com/WNcf7jDcl0

      Nathan Rd has only one open lane right now, meaning that everyone else has to take an awkward detour to pass through the abandoned buses. It will take the govt hours to clear this road. #HongKongProtestspic.twitter.com/L0Ew4wVkIS

          Protesters have fortified Connaught Rd Central on all sides with rubber pipe, bricks and a double-decker bus. No cars can come through. The idea is that if riot police arrives, the roadblocks will give protesters enough time to disperse. #HongKongProtestspic.twitter.com/JroQEAD5kd

          Situation remains calm on Connaught Rd Central since riot police refuse to show up. I guess the question is what will protesters do once lunch time is over and office workers return to work? #HongKongProtestspic.twitter.com/6yu8I8h1gH

          Without any police presence, protesters voluntarily backed off from main road and seemingly ended the lunchtime protest. Some people are saying that their aim is actually to draw away police force from the current standoff at CUHK. #HongKongProtestspic.twitter.com/tsd9CgwwAT
