| Subject: When they don't own guns: Hong Kong Protests Intensify With Arrows Sun Nov 17, 2019 5:04 pm | |
| Violence erupted this weekend around a besieged Hong Kong university, as protesters threw petrol bombs and fired arrows at police in an attempt to keep control of the campus.
Hong Kong police appealed to protesters early Monday, local time, to leave the scene of an intense stand-off and threatened to respond with live bullets if protesters continue to use what they called "lethal weapons." The warning came as a fiery clash between protesters and police outside the Hong Kong Polytechnic University entered its second night. Protesters have been hurling gasoline bombs while police have answered with tear gas and water cannons.
The weekend began with relative calm Saturday morning, but then turned into some of the most dramatic scenes the protests have seen yet. The clashes represent a substantial escalation in the nearly six months of turbulence, and sets the stage for another week of violence in China's semi-autonomous region.
