… that Jing and I were watching in amazement as protesters on the MTR (our subway) were sticking their feet in the sliding doors — mind the gap! — so the trains couldn’t move. What disorder! What disobedience! What unlawfulness!
And now that’s just nothing. Now they smash the turnstyles, they burn ticket machines, they set off the fire sprinklers, they vandalise MTR shops, they throw trash down the entrances and set them on fire. They spray “black MTR” (黑铁) on the walls.
They managed to close the whole of the MTR two weeks ago, the only time in its forty-year history. Yay! Victory for freedom!
So that’s how fast things can escalate.
Should we think the unthinkable? That someone is going to set off a bomb? They’ve tried it already.
