The 70-year-old man, recently killed by a brick, was not the first victim of violence amid the unrest. On Thursday alone, more than 400 gasoline bombs were hurled within the campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

The city's violence has been escalating since June this year, with protesters targeting police and government buildings.

Claiming that they are fighting for the rule of law, radical protesters smeared national flags and spread hate. And that has continued to escalate and disrupt residents' daily lives and business operations.

The violence seems random and people have been getting hurt. Earlier this month, local lawmaker Junius Ho was injured, and the footage shows how that happened.

Bystanders must also take extra care, as anyone could be targeted. Amateur videos have emerged recently, showing rioters burning a resident with gasoline. The video also show the consequence of voicing different views in front of the protesters.

Their actions seem to be well-organized and the rioters well-equipped.

As they continue to disrupt transportation, some residents have come to help restore order.

"We feel sad seeing this. People have had a difficult time driving past this area. Someone had a flat tire."

"How can they talk about politics, when we can't even have a normal life?"

"We can help clean up the roads. That's the least we can do as civilians."

But as the destruction continues, many wonder when it will come to an end.
