HONG KONG’S BAD ACID TRIP

[defrog]

Oh, and while we were on our way back from Tai Po yesterday, this happened.



This is what we have instead of public mall shootings, you see.

The kicker: the same thing happened in the same district last December. They never caught the person responsible.

They're thinking it's the same person.

Watch the skies,

This is dF

You would think there would be footage from a security camera.

As it happens, we're not big on public outdoor security cameras here. Ironically, the first attack prompted the govt to look into having them installed, but they haven't got around to it yet. They'll be getting some heat for that, I'm sure.

Hmm. That's interesting. I would have thought the Chinese.gov would be all over the CCTV.

Daley has had installed here in Chicago.

Actually, even China wasn't big on excessive security cameras until the Olympics. Also, the HK govt answers to Beijing but they tend not to micromanage us, so we're pretty much on its own for things like security policies.

As for public security cameras (not including the private ones in shops and lift lobbies, which we have plenty of), it only comes up to address specific things -- like throwing acid bottle bombs. Or illegal trash dumping.

Ironically, home webcams are very popular to help people spy on their housemaids and nannies over the Internets while they're at work.
