justification for marantz on fire protesters but the same time i think it's gotten this far because of how the police have managed situation and a big big come to us violence because of years the government ignoring what our people want it. what's different about these protests is that it's a leaderless movement it's not a coalition between many different groups should be called to be waterloo. this strategy comes in the form of flash mob protests these protests radically change locations or in the course of the day and you often get different groups splitting to go to other areas of hong kong this captures the police off guard and stretches that manpower. now the key to these flash more protests is the telegram app. there are several protest chat groups on this messaging app some of which contain tens of thousands of protesters this allows for information on the next destination of the protests to be quickly the seventy's as well as telegram protests there's also used hong kong reddit style for l r h k g to organize protests. during protests when internet signal is patchy attendees th
