The past few days have been marked with violence as pro-democracy protesters clash with riot police. Events like the fireworks show, originally planned for this evening, have been canceled for safety concerns. "We are on the verge of extreme danger," said a police official."All acts are one step closer to terrorism. We are deeply concerned about public safety tomorrow and we express the strongest condemnation against all criminal and violent acts."Hong Kong protesters have planned a series of protests in six different districts across the city, as well as a mass march that has been denied approval by the police -- making it an unlawful assembly.
