An escalation of the ongoing attack on the liberties of the Hong Kong people took place on Nov. 19. At 3:50 a.m. local time, four individuals dressed in black and wielding batons entered the print shop and warehouse of the Hong Kong edition of The Epoch Times and set a fire.
The telescopic batons carried by the thugs are similar to those used by the Hong Kong police. Two of the thugs who carried out the attack were dressed in black with masks, like the Hong Kong protesters. This was apparently done in an effort to confuse the situation, as this tactic fits a pattern we have seen in Hong Kong. Police and thugs have pretended to be protesters, journalists, and citizens, and committed violence, including beatings and arson, then blamed the protesters in an attempt to discredit them.
