"Apple" closed its doors, yellow media deleted posts, political sticks jumped ship, and yellow political parties were dissolved... This does not mean that the black storm has been eliminated and the world is at peace, on the contrary, the more dangerous moment has just begun, and yesterday, the lone wolf officially appeared.
Lone wolves are not necessarily alone, and the lone wolf terrorist attack in the United States in 2013, the Boston Marathon bomb, the murderers are two brothers.
The man who took a dagger to the police in the downtown area of Causeway Bay last night seemed to be acting alone, but I believe he had a partner, at least, and it was quite suspicious to follow the person who was filming the live broadcast to murder him.
Think about it, the killer walked head-on and then swept the camera behind the police and waited until the attack occurred, and the photographer seemed to have foreseen that the murder was coming. Filming the killing process, but not the subsequent suicide of the murderer, do they have to blame the police for death?
Recently, friends said when they gathered around the stove that they did not expect "Apple" to end so quickly, and they did not expect the political stick to raise their hands and surrender so completely. When the call of the big stage is over and the task is completed, it quickly retreats and it is the turn of the lone wolf to play.
The 2019 black riot has a slogan, called Be water, which has recently reappeared in the yellow network. The concept of Be water is similar to the "soldier image like water" in "Sun Tzu's Art of War", which means to avoid its virtual reality, not to eat immediate losses, to adapt to changes, and to strike from the weak points of the opponent. Yesterday, the lone wolf pretended to be a passerby to attack behind the patrol, which is exactly this method.
In the face of terrorist attacks that come and go without a trace, the first thing is to characterize. I hope that all government officials will be as determined as Security Secretary Tang Ping-keung, calling the chaos of 2019 a "riot" and yesterday's attack a "terrorist attack", rather than vaguely saying "social incidents" and "attacks".
Second, cases involving serious violent attacks should be tried and sentenced expedited to have a real-time deterrent effect. Do you remember the knife in the chest in November 2019 when Mp. Ho Junyao was inserted? On that day, it was clear that some of the attackers were tied up, but the incident was almost two years ago, and it turned out that the case had not yet been tried.
In 2019, the EUROPEAN Union made a "Report on the Status and Trends of Terrorism", listing various cases of terrorist attacks and sentences, one of which is worthy of Hong Kong's reference.
The report pointed out that a British mother and daughter attempted to attack a passerby with a knife near Parliament, and another daughter attacked near the British Museum, and although the two terrorist attacks did not cause any casualties, the mother was sentenced to life imprisonment by the court and the two daughters were sentenced to more than 6 years in prison. The sentence was swiftly and heavily imposed on the judge because the judge believed that it was the mother who had made the two daughters radicals. This kind of legal deterrence of terrorist attacks is beyond our reach.
Third, ban and block all online platforms that advocate violence and murderous messages. In fact, Western countries attach great importance to cracking down on the spread of terrorism on social media and online platforms, whether it is issuing or holding propaganda, recruiting others to commit related acts, or even self-intoxicating terrorism, they will be convicted.
Italy's High Court, which had found a man to use the Internet to incite and provoke terrorist acts, found him guilty of terrorist offences and sentenced him to 28 months' imprisonment.
In Austria, a 16-year-old Serb was also convicted of supporting terrorism for actively participating in "jihadist chat groups" and disseminating "jihadist" propaganda.
As Security Commissioner Tang Ping-keung said, those who constantly advocate violence, incite hatred and glorify related acts are also covered in blood. We need to identify these behind-the-scenes actors and stop the chain of transmission of the terrorist virus.
