Hong Kong police, targeted by a homemade bomb, urge protesters to turn their backs on the movement’s hardcore elements. But the appeal falls on deaf ears as an estimated 130,000 attend the rally. johnleicester reports:
Protestors light their torches during a peaceful rally in central Hong Kong's business district, Monday, Oct. 14, 2019. The protests that started in June over a now-shelved extradition bill have since snowballed into an anti-China campaign amid anger over what many view as Beijing's interference in Hong Kong's autonomy that was granted when the former British colony returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
But despite spiraling violence, widespread vandalism and gasoline-bomb attacks by black-clad hardcore protesters, and repeated government appeals for people not to take their side, the protest movement is still rousing determined support from more moderate demonstrators, broadly worried about the future of the semi-autonomous Chinese territory and its freedoms, unique in China.
A banner where speakers whipped up the crowd appealed for President Donald Trump to “liberate Hong Kong.” Another read, “Make Hong Kong great again.” “If members of the public continue to remain silent and condone and tolerate such behavior they will go from bad to worse,” he said. “Please cut ties with these criminals and rioters.”
He held up a photo taken from a police vehicle dash-cam that showed a blurry spot of light, circled in yellow on the picture. Switching tactics, small groups of hardcore protesters wreaked havoc by popping up Sunday in multiple locations across the city, overwhelming the fanned-out police deployment. Violence stretched into the night.
