1/ I want to tell a story about me and violence.
It was back to July 21, I was dragging my body back home at midnight after a long day of protest. I lay in my bed, Priscilla was asleep, and I scroll on my phone in the dark. My newsfeed was swarmed with footages..
#HongKongProtest 2/ featuring thugs who held metal rods and hit train passengers indiscriminately at a train station. These hired thugs, later confirmed as gangs connected to pro-Beijing lawmaker and the Chinese liaison office of Hong Kong. They were beating people under the watch of the police..

1. I was once told by a foreign journalist that police use force to disperse protestors is legitimate because protestors were participating in an "unauthorized" march. At first, I was a bit mad, then I realize how this idea of "obeying the law" is indoctrinated to everyone. 2. In a nearly Just society, respecting the law is a virtue that shall be promoted, but Hong Kong is not a just society, the state has systematically violated its obligation to protect rights of its people.
