Hong Kong pro-democracy protests took another violent turn as a standoff in a working-class neighbourhood descended into chaos. Riot police fired tear gas and baton-charged protesters who retaliated with a barrage of stones, bottles and bamboo poles, breaking an uneasy peace that had lasted several days. Frontline protesters - known as 'braves' - pulled together a barricade of traffic barriers and bamboo construction poles. As the afternoon wore on some fired stones from slingshots, prompting a charge from police, wielding batons and pepper spray. 🔥 #HK

Guns are a regional problem. We need to be looking at regional solutions. Given Congress’ inability to forge a consensus on how to counter gun violence, states have been left to go at it alone. That’s worked better in some places than others. California, for instance, has some of the strongest gun control laws in the country, and legislators continue to shore up weak points that emerge in the complicated and at times confusing matrix of statutes and regulations.

Hong Kong police arrested 29 people after clashes overnight in which volleys of tear gas were fired to disperse anti-government protesters, they said on Sunday, as thousands regrouped in the west of the Chinese-ruled city in pouring rain. Rail operator MTR Corp suspended some services to try to prevent people gathering but protesters made it to a sports stadium in the vast container port of Kwai Chung, where they marched around the running track and took shelter in the stands. “It’s very unreasonable that the MTR suspended the service. I am also mad that the police use excessive force against the protesters,” said Jo Chan, 30. “Hong Kong people should not beat each other. I come because I support the five demands.” #HK
