Violent Chaos Breaks Out In Hong Kong: Police Stations Set On Fire, Triads Beat Protesters, City Paralyzed

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

The situation in Hong Kong is rapidly deteriorating, with violence breaking out in seven locations Monday afternoon as the citywide strike crippled transportation.

What were supposed to be peaceful sit-ins in different districts turned into riots, “with Wong Tai Sin and Harcourt Road seeing the most intense confrontations as protesters kneel instead of flee, to shield themselves while tear gas rounds and sponge grenades rain on them,” according to SCMP

Protesters threw a suspected gasoline bomb at police after first being attacked by bricks.

Riot police used crowd control measures in at least five locations – targeting those filing the streets. 82 people were arrested for offences including rioting, unlawful assembly, assaulting a police officer, obstructing police and possession of offensive weapons.

Fighting broke out between protesters and local residents, while reports of ‘white shirted’ men believed to be triad gang members began beating protesters as the evening devolved.

    WAY more protestors than pigs.

    If they get SERIOUS… those pigs are toast.

    1. I’m beginning to think they are showing us how shit gets done

      Demonstrators in Puerto Rico showed how you get rid of a POS political rep too

      Maybe it’s time to show ours what we really think

      1. Been thinkin’ that since the whole Hong Kong thing began.

        They MASSIVELY outnumber their opponents… if they decide to go postal…?
