Another protester was shot in Hong Kong on Monday according to the BBC news, making it the third person to be shot by police with the first two incidents happening in early October. The condition and identity of the protester is unknown but Facebook footage shows the protester laying on the ground with blood around him. This all happened during a protest in which protesters used blockades trying to block a popular junction causing large amounts of traffic and even disrupting a train and subway. These protests are a continuation of the original protest of the extradition bill which would allow people from Hong Kong to be sent to China, yet even though the bill was withdrawn protests have continued demanding full autonomy from China and their government to be a full democracy. Protests have become increasing more violent on both sides and China does not appear to be letting in to any of the protesters demands, so for the time being it seems like will continue to escalate from here.
