@SCMPNews I'm not commenting on the actions of the individuals involved but were attempts made for their comment? While portrayed as a clear cut and intriguing case, if no charges yet and they're being held they should still have that right afforded to them.
The amount of smooth jazz malls and MTR stations are playing right now in HK trying to make all the (non-present)happy shoppers feel like things are cool and normal has only added to the daily migraine of current events
@cadence888@webbhk@HuXijin_GT@globaltimesnews Yes saw that, looks like NPCSC needs to actually issue its own official ruling if it really wants to challenge the high court judgement
@webbhk@cadence888@HuXijin_GT@globaltimesnews So has the High Court decision been officially reversed within the bounds of what NPCSC is able to do, and government can continue enforcing ERO/mask ban?
@HongKongFP @HongKongFP You're really missing the fact that many people not affiliated with any organized effort came out in Kowloon Tong to clean up their home
@catcatherine10@BeWaterHKG Completing (1) ending sentence: then police by training will escalate their use use of force from "less-than-lethal" to "lethal". It does not matter what you think is right or not, this is how they operate, so you must understand how to avoid escalating to a deadly gun fight.
@catcatherine10@BeWaterHKG (2). By justifying the use of this device, which any history book will describe as a deadly weapon, then the police can (and will) justify self defence and escalate their response to deadly force. Please think more critically before making a passing, very dangerous argument
@ChrisWapdy0305@BeWaterHKG As much as you would like to argue, if police really had that unlimited right on deadly force that you suggest, the (absolutely undesired) number of fatalities would be far higher. The danger the thinking here creates is that it allows police to use deadly force for self defense
@ChrisWapdy0305@BeWaterHKG My point and the correct position is that does not matter whatsoever. A protestor, and more importantly public support like this for citizens using deadly force against others is absolutely unacceptable, and will end international support for their movement.
@bilibalaboy @BeWaterHKG Really does not matter, a bow and arrow constitute a deadly weapon and should never be used. This type of attitude is dangerous and leads to fatalities
1/ I spoke to some weather experts yesterday and looked at weather maps but unfortunately rain isn't going to put out the big fires in the Amazon anytime soon. (Humans can put out smaller fires but the large ones will depend on rain) https://t.co/rBbBfIkInO
