I have been in Hong Kong for the past six days, got back home this morning. There is no protests at Mong Kok, it (Nathan Road) has been cleared however a very large police presence in the area. The major protest site at Admiralty appears to be where the action is, and although I am quite sympathetic to the protests, I have seen enough news in the last few days to change my view that the protesters are now contributing to the problem. Most of the news I have seen, seems to suggest that the protesters are being quite aggressive and using a legal 'loophole' that they do not need to obey police instructions especially with respect to demonstration. The police have made it clear that the protesters not breach or advance past defined boundaries, yet there is clear video evidence that the protesters have been using 'mob/gang' mentality to attack and advance when clearly instructed not to.
