A lacrosse stick is perfect for scooping and chucking this stuff back. A tennis racket would work too. And the HK protesters have successfully used traffic cones as a way to contain and extinguish it.

Anything possibly weapon-like is often discuraged at protests. Most want to be non-violent, even if there is resistance. A boot or a heavy gloved hand is fine.

You sparked my interest here :-) Why have you experienced so many different riots? Are you a reporter, a protestor or something else?

Right place at the wrong time, mainly. The Istanbul protests were the exception, as I knew several people and wanted to see the situation personally. What is true is that Life Goes On. Even in Istanbul or Paris with the huge protests, if you're not in that specific part of town at that specific moment, you wouldn't even know it was happening. Hotels in HK are wildly cheap at the moment.. it's the time to visit a tour…

What is food availability and price like? Are fewer mainlanders coming over right now?
