    HK police are paying visits to shops that sell gas masks, helmets and other protective gear. Authorities are clamping down on their sale and import. “Nowadays, we work like smugglers, we have to hide from the government" https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/a-run-on-gas-masks-hong-kong-protesters-circumvent-crackdown-on-protective-gear/2019/08/15/2c543030-be57-11e9-b873-63ace636af08_story.html … by @caseyquack for @washingtonpost

        Tbh you got tear gased even when you did nothing Not wrong to say its a daily necessity But if laser pointer is lethal, a protective gear maybe dangerous too.

        Ironically this will hurt non protestors a lot more than protestors. Protestors will always find a way to get their gear. Non protestors won’t be able get gas masks and will be stuck smelling the tear gas HK police fires at them.
