Dublin gang wars: council advises estate residents to move out for safety
The Guardian - 2 hours 8 min ago
Warning centres on south-side estate, as checkpoints do little to assuage public fears that police
cannot prevent further killings
As Ireland’s two major gangs square up to each other for potentially the biggest crime war in the
Republic’s history, the Guardian has learned that the city council has been told to advise families
linked to one of the factions to move out of their homes.
The warning centres on the Oliver Bond flats complex in the south inner city as fears build that a
north Dublin-based gang is about to strike back over Monday night’s murder of Eddie Hutch
Senior. He was the brother of Gerry “The Monk” Hutch, who is blamed for the audacious fatal
gun attack at the Regency hotel last Friday during a weigh-in for a boxing bout in which David
Byrne was killed.

Is Hong Kong really rioting over fishball stands?
The Guardian - 2 hours 17 min ago
Attempts to forcibly remove street food stands caused riots in Hong Kong on Monday. But
there’s more to the #fishballrevolution than just snacks
The “fishball revolution” sounds like a joke, but when you look at the footage coming out of
Hong Kong you realise it is anything but. Bloodied protesters, an injured policeman on the
ground being attacked, warning shots fired in the air, 50 people arrested, almost 100 injured.
Hong Kong specialises in wackily named quasi-uprisings – remember the Umbrella Movement
of 2014 ? – but behind those curious names is an anger and alienation that pits the pro-Beijing
government against a population, especially the young, who want western-style freedoms.
