| This is not a false flag op. Disclosure: I closely followed the forum where many of the high level discussions take place: lihkg.com (in Cantonese). The protestors broke into the legislative council, partly in response to the no-response from the government after the large protests on 9 June, 12 June, and 16 June; and partly because of some recent desperate suicides towards no-response from the government (just two cases on 30 June, the day before 1 July). There were lots of push back for breaking the windows even among the protestors, but eventually they did it just to enter the building. The protestors did not go further to break things: they left money for drinks in the fridge, and labeled artifacts for protection (in Cantonese [1]), so they remained civil except for breaking into the building. They made a declaration [2] before they left and the police took over. [1]: https://www.facebook.com/hksidestories/posts/245385840131281... [2]: https://lihkg.com/thread/1274850/page/1 |
