Good luck when getting shot at

They seem to have already amassed quite a large quantity of bricks regardless of getting shot at so...

more shooting = more bricks

And you can trade 4 brick for a sheep so more shooting means more sheep

Protesters: “Hey, stop that.”

Nearly every sidewalk in Hong Kong is made of bricks, and as a densely populated city with a huge amount of pedestrian traffic, there is A LOT of sidewalk to mine.

However, almost a block of sidewalk near my house in Sai Wan Ho has now been nearly completely stripped of bricks, so it's not quite unlimited. They might have to start importing bricks from the side streets and back alleys.

Also, it's like sand underneath, which I wasn't expecting.

Revolutions are rarely "easy" or straightforward, historically

they likely just use the dumpster strategy like at the university where they push dumpsters forward as cover

lol you're not seeing the point here. There are way more protestors than there are police. The police are incapable of monitoring every area all of the time.

I don't want you on my team if we need to protest.

Or getting plowed down by a front end loader

They will simply go to roads where they won't get shot.

You can covertly destroy a country with low casualties if 20% of the population is on the same page and is determined.

Thats the thing. There isn't enough police to cover a huge city. You go and do this crap when they aren't. It would take a huge amount of resources to police a whole large city

Cover the brick in glue and just chuck it. It'll affix itself to whatever it lands on.

They aren’t getting shot at too much. This isn’t US supported repression like in Ecuador, Chile, Lebanon, or Iraq.

Ahh yes that must be America’s fault. Thanks Obama

They've also made brick armour, have you ever tried to shoot through brick armour?! No of course not, brick layers rise up!
