So...what seems like the entire voting public of Sri Lanka is out on the streets today to demand the President and his government step down, despite the lack of public transport due to the fuel crisis. People are forgoing trains and buses to walk to the protests on foot, and the streets of the capital are already thronging with them, despite massive police and military presence. They're already boxing in them in by the thousands and attacking them with tear gas and water canons. Unfortunately this is shit is old hat by now, even with the weapons-grade tear gas they're using, because state brutality has been a mainstay over the last three months of massive protests. Protestors are even now overwhelming cops in riot gear and hammering against barricades. There's simply too many of them of hold back any more, and I'm guessing supplies of crowd dispersal equipment are running low after three straights months and an empty Treasury.

EDIT: HOLY FUCK THE CROWDS. THEY LITERALLY BUSTED DOWN ALL THE BARRICADES AND SCALED OVER THE PRESIDENT'S MANSION.

EDIT 2: IT'S LIKE THIS IN EVERY SINGLE CITY. PEOPLE ARE RUSHING THE COPS THROUGH THE TEAR GAS, BUSTING DOWN THE BARRICADES.

EDIT 3: THEY GOT HOLD OF A WATER CANNON AND TOOK IT APART LMAOOOOO

EDIT 4: This post got huge so go here to get all the updates.
