21 July 2019 was the day that #HongKong police connived pro-Beijing triads to indiscriminately attack HK civilians.
The notable slogan - “Free Hong Kong, #RevolutionOfOurTimes” - also got revived and popularised on the exact same day.

The attacker, a 50 yr old man, has just been confirmed dead, having stabbed himself in the heart after the attack.
This is extremely devastating and heartbreaking💔. The despair one must undergo to resort to such an extreme act. What has Hong Kong become, only within one year?😢
When people have no hope, stuff like this will happen more.
No where in the world do more aggressive police ever equal a less violent society. As police powers increase, so does public violence. They are linked.
This is yet another crackdown on the press freedom in Hong Kong. The National Security Law is not a law to achieve "security", but only to turn Hong Kong into an Orwellian state. The international community must not turn a blind eye to this.
#StandWithHongKong
Two years ago today on Jun 16, Two million Hong Kongers collectively came out to protest against the extradition bill and call for Carrie Lam to step down.
BREAKING:
National Security branch of the #HongKong police arrested 5 executives of @appledaily_hk at 6:00am HKT again.
They are also storming Apple Daily's HQ at the moment, preparing to seize anything they want.

Never forget #Tiananmen 1989, how peaceful student protests were brutally crushed by the Chinese state, killing hundreds of people. Yet, we must also not look away from Beijing’s biggest crackdown and stifling of dissent ever since. Let’s therefore today #StandWithHongKong too!
Today marks the 32nd anniversary of the #Tiananmen Square crackdown that took place on 4 June 1989.
The European Union upholds universal human rights at home and calls for their respect across the world.
