There can be no lawless land in HK - that includes university campuses

The subversives in Hong Kong have stepped up their crusade to paralyze the city with a "blossom everywhere" campaign of violence and vandalism across the city.

That flowery phrase hides the malice driving their actions.

Acts such as firebombing the inside of subway trains with passengers on board; throwing objects onto rail tracks to stop running trains; dropping sharp or heavy objects on moving vehicles from overhead walkways; setting fires inside road tunnels; throwing Molotov cocktails at buses loaded with passengers, including school pupils and elderly people; beating up drivers and passengers who try to remove roadblocks; and even dousing a man with a flammable liquid and setting him ablaze demonstrate the rioters have lost both their humanity and reason.
