[HK judge hails pro-#CCP assailant while he stabs activist and throws death threat at me]

1. A pro-#Beijing assailant, Wong, was hailed by #HK judge for his “passion to society” while Wong stabbed democracy ex-lawmaker “Long Hair” Leung Kwok-hung with a pointed metal chisel.

2. Wong said if he has a gun, he will use it to shoot Leung. He even publicly threw death threats on court, saying "Joshua Wong & Ted Hui must die”. But without slamming his reckless words, judge praised Wong for being “willing to contribute to society" and released him on bail.

3. That’s another case that #Hongkong judges biasedly praise pro-#Beijing assailants. Earlier in April, HK judge hailed another assailant for having "noble sentiments” after he slashed three #HKers with beef knife, causing one's lung collapsed and wounds on their necks and backs.

4. In contrast, activists like #TamTakChi are charged sedition and denied bail just because they chanted slogans like “#5DemandsNot1Less” and blasted #HKgov and #hkpolicebrutality with critical voices.

5. With such systematic oppressions of HK freedom seekers, especially under #nationalsecuritylaw amid #Beijing’s mounting influence, it is foreseeable that more and more people will lose trust in the city’s judicial impartiality which this international financial centre lies on.
