(Reuters) - Tens of thousands of pro-democracy protesters extended a blockade of Hong Kong streets on Tuesday, stockpiling supplies and erecting makeshift barricades ahead of what some fear may be a push by police to clear the roads before Chinese National Day.
Riot police shot pepper spray and tear gas at protesters at the weekend, but by Tuesday evening they had almost completely withdrawn from the downtown Admiralty district except for an area around the government headquarters.

P!
For Chinese officials, this is what they do not want on the People’s Republic’s birthday.
China is going to crack down if the Hong Kong authorities cannot put an end to the protests.

No.
There need not be mass demonstrations in democracy.
This is a reaction to not having it.
Preppers’ PING!!
Hat tip to null and void for the heads up!
Those wacky, selfish, tin foil hatted, unGodly so on and so forth per the anti-prepper crowd don’t they understand that they are wasting their time??
“Democracy” is a fancy Greek word for “mob rule”.
This is what democracy looks like.
If only we could send them a bunch of the Ferguson protesters. You know, to help them out with tactics. We could even send Eric Holder with them to provide legal representation.
add to prepper list: one Nokia 3310 personal protection device!
