It was a revolution when everyone was fools, although, there were really many fools dancing to the magic flute.
A few days ago, the court had an application to dismiss the appeal, and it was only following reading the report that some people believed it.
The incident happened in November 2019 on the CUHK No. 2 bridge. More than 100 armed and masked rioters gathered and stormed the police line. Some people threw petrol bombs at the police, hit the police officer, and burned their uniforms and police. shield. Deng Xiwen, a 23-year-old CUHK female student who was present at the scene, was arrested and later convicted of rioting and using a mask in an illegal assembly, and sentenced to three years and nine months in prison.
Deng Xiwen defended herself in court during the trial. She studied Chinese and education with a double bachelor’s degree and a minor in English literature at CUHK. In 2019, she visited a university in Boston in the United States for a semester of exchange, and in July of the same year, she went to Lithuania as a volunteer to teach children English, will return to Hong Kong in August. She likes literary creation, especially focusing on writing with a sense of presence. So, when I saw the incident on the No. 2 Bridge of CUHK from the Internet at lunch that day, I went to check it out. After arriving at Po, someone suddenly stuffed her equipment, so she put on a mask and only focused on the sound of her breathing and entered her own The “sensory world”, the feeling of tear gas that she has never experienced before, and the tranquility of wearing a gas mask, she got the inspiration for literary creation, and following she came back to her senses, she was subdued by the police.
Pan Xi, a senior official representing Deng Xiwen, believes that the above is an irresistible inference. She believes that Deng Xiwen only focused on the “sense of presence” at that time, and did not intend to participate in the riots.
Such excuses can be said, and everyone is really a fool today. When you are in a riot situation, it doesn’t matter if you drive a car, handle the wind, pass a weapon, or even watch a show or have a dream… Whether you do it or not, you are considered a thug and are guilty. This is the law. Not feeling.
The judge of the Court of Appeal believed that the judgment and analysis of the original judge were impeccable, and the case had no arguable grounds, and dismissed the appeal application, allowing justice to be demonstrated. This is a rare step. Over the years, we have listened to too many crooked reasons and too many inexplicable reasons. Finally, everyone’s heads can return to normal, and there is no need to doubt everything. Is there a problem with me, or is there a problem with them?
