Attack on HK legislator part of terror tactics
Hong Kong society is still in shock after last week's attempted murder of a legislator in a busy street in broad daylight. The attack and recent spate of violence indicate how far and how low the coalition of local and foreign anti-China forces is willing to go in pursuit of their aims.
The injured lawmaker, Junius Ho Kwan-yiu, now discharged from hospital, was stabbed in the chest by a man posing as his supporter when he was campaigning for the upcoming District Council Elections in his Tuen Mun constituency. The man, who held a bunch of flowers to disguise his real intent when approaching Ho, was charged with attempted murder on Friday.
Past elections in Hong Kong were known for being clean, fair and devoid of violence. That fine tradition is being destroyed by forces that are apparently willing to cross the bottom line of the law and humanity in pursuit of considerations other than a fair election.
