      One of the things Hong Kongers feared about the extradition law—being charged w a crime that authorities make up on a whim—appears to be playing out as police harass shopkeepers who sell helmets/masks, & arrest a student for buying laser pointers (rebranded by cops as laser guns) https://twitter.com/ShibaniMahtani/status/1161977179346837504 …

      Hongkongers keep trying to get permits to march, keep getting denied. That's important part of the context and another way on which everything us put on the shoulders of the young people willing to take the risks. They are the ones that march anyway.https://www.hongkongfp.com/2019/08/16/hong-kong-police-say-748-arrested-summers-anti-govt-protests-weekend-demos-banned/ …

      Protests in a country with functioning infrastructure! "Once you get notified about [a protest], you descend through a spotless mall onto a bright and clean train platform, get whisked away by a train that arrives almost immediately." No US city has this. https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1162254503682293761 …

      Is they get really annoyed authorizes could suspend transit, then of course they’d mess up the economy, this is both literal and a metaphor for the whole situation
