A brief summary of what happened on 11-12 Nov 2019

[deweycc]

This is not a battlefield, the place where all the smoke coming from is the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

The police said there are rioters hiding in the campus and tried to get in and search the whole university, the students resisted since the police does not have search warrant, so the police keep bombarding them with teargas.

After negotiation, the police agreed to back down, but then they started to bombard with more teargas and rubber bullets, then rushed into the campus and arrested students.

Guys riot police are storming my university from all four points of entry right now

Everyone inside is trapped and tear gas and rubber bullets have been flying since this morning

I’m not sure it’s even legal for the police to storm them like this since the campus isn’t strictly under the same purview as general public spaces and people can protest how they like on campus.

I graduated already and I just got off a 34 hour shift at the hospital but the police are still storming my uni barely four km away and arresting people

11.11-12 Dawn of revenge I

“It’s merely coincidence he is not your child.”

Chow Tsz-lok’s death was a blow and resentment for Hong Kong people, and also a great warning. The city is filled with horror, even if you’re not a protester, if you appeared at the wrong time or wrong place, you may face tear gas, pepper spray, police brutality and abuse, or even injuries and death.

Nov 11, protesters organized a premature strike, went on the street to rally and block the roads. Police used tear gas rounds and bullets to deal with protesters. Facing excessive police violence, protesters built roadblocks and threw Molotov cocktails. Eggs versus a high wall, eggs are always the side which faces damage.

In Sai Wan Ho, a traffic police captured a boy, and shot another boy who came to rescue his companion without carrying any weapon or shield. The live bullet penetrated the boy’s kidney and liver. The traffic police also shot another boy.

In Tsuen Wan, a boy was discovered lying on the pavement, apparently having fallen to his death, his arm broken and twisted as seen in a photo.

Nov 12, Chinese University of Hong Kong became a battlefield, where protesters and police clashed fiercely. Police broke into the campus to arrest protesters, protesters built large covers and trebuchet for defense. The police used over 1500 tear gas rounds and 1300 rubber bullets. The president of the university tried to negotiate with the police, but attacked by tear gas instead.

My university also suffered tear gas near the resident hall area. That should have been a place for local and overseas students to live and rest, the students there did not pose threats to police and citizens. We were concerned about the safety of our friends and professors who was living there. And now, even our last safe haven is scarred. It feels like we have nowhere to go anymore.

One thing that I didn’t thought of, is that universities have been a sacred place of knowledge, wisdom, virtues and civilization. Even troops in WWII did not dare to attack universities. Protesters and students did resist in the university campus and throw things out to protect themselves, but it was the police who broke in the campus and induced large area damages.

At the same time, universities each announced the cancellation of graduation ceremonies. The ridiculous tragedy of students born in 1997 repeated again. I thought I could have finished university life with a happy ending this time, but I don’t even have the mood to celebrate anymore. Well then, if this is our fate, forever woven with the ups and downs of Hong Kong, I am willing to abandon so-called happy ending, and mark our journey with rebellion.

Stand With Hong Kong

Yesterday the Hong Kong police stormed into the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Who gave them the right to go into an university campus and cause a chaos like that? What for? What were they trying to do? Of course there were students at the university. They were not rioting and doing anything illegal. It is an university campus. It should not be a battlefield. The university students have been fighting so hard and putting their lives at risk to protect their school and home. They are still on guard at the moment. Many students were injured and some were arrested last night. For numerous times the police promised to retreat but they still fired at the students. Even the headmaster went there and tried to make a deal with the police. But the police broke their promise and fired relentlessly. Even the headmaster was unable to protect his students from the police. The police even fired tear gas when the headmaster was still present at the site. How could the police disrespect an university headmaster like that? How could they disrespect an university like that? CUHK was among the world’s top universities. How could anyone let that happen? How could the world condone that? Last night was a total nightmare. It seemed like no one could stop the police. Not even the headmaster. Not even the former headmaster who also went to the site. Meanwhile our chief executive Carrie Lam had so much fun at a dinner event last night. And it was not only CUHK. Other universities were under attack as well. The police fired tear gas at PolyU few days ago.
