As Halloween fell on Oct 31, streets in Hong Kong were filled with festivity. In the meanwhile, masked protestors went out on the streets - they chanted slogans, blocked major roads and set fires, testing the tolerance of the so-called "anti-mask ban". Clues on social media show they had planned the action beforehand.
According to Chiu Tat-cheong, chairman of Far East Consortium International, "Wearing masks allows young people to think this is like a war game. But frankly, often, (if) you make a mistake one day, it can cause you pain for your whole life."
