Analysis: Hong Kong protester jailed for throwing eggs as city's judiciary takes hard line

Hong Kong A 31-year-old man has been jailed for 21 months for throwing eggs at a police station, the latest tough sentence handed down by a Hong Kong court as the authorities move to clamp down on political dissent in the Chinese territory.

In handing down her sentence Thursday, Magistrate Winnie Lau said that while"an egg is not a weapon of mass destruction," the throwing of such items at a police station provoked"discontent" with the force, undermined officers' law enforcement actions, and endangered society, according to public broadcaster RTHK.

China's crackdown on Hong Kong spreads to the city's classrooms 02:59Speaking during her annual policy address on Wednesday, Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam said the national security law was already having the desired effect.The law had been"remarkably effective in restoring stability in Hong Kong," she said, and had brought an end to protests.

jgriffiths There is no justice in Hong Kong. As long as you support CCP, you can do whatever you want without punishment.

jgriffiths Meanwhile in America, we look the other way when they try to BURN DOWN THE POLICE STATIONS.

jgriffiths If you are not a pro-CCP member, you will get tough sentence even if you just throw eggs. Obviously, the legal system is not unbiased anymore. StandWithHK

jgriffiths and the Hong Kong police who choked someone to death by kneeing on the neck was NOT investigated.

jgriffiths This is chinazi trampling on HK rule of law, whoever hold political opinions are the victim. But the one holding sharp weapons against protesters will not be charged at all!

jgriffiths China. CNN and Joe Biden’s favorite country

jgriffiths The gvmt of Hong Kong must be very weak, and very afraid of its citizens. One wonders* why. *not

jgriffiths HK protests were allowed to run for months. it badly affected the economy and suppressed the lives of millions of other citizens. in other countries, these protestors would have been brutally brought down.

jgriffiths millions of other HK citizens were not able to go to work to make money to feed their families for months due to these protests. they were afraid to leave their homes in fear of getting harmed by rioters.

jgriffiths These warriors should be called heroes who oppose the centralized tyranny of CCP.

jgriffiths millions of other HK citizens were not able to go to work to make money to feed their families for months due to these protests. they were afraid to leave their homes in fear of getting harmed by rioters.

jgriffiths We need to reform our own police and justice system before we worry about other country’s.

jgriffiths That's China for you. The dictatorship being allowed to reign freely by UN. Will UN ever take note of dictatorship in China and place sanctions on China? Or is trade more important than humanity?

jgriffiths And here in Australia an 18 yr old did a burnout and lost a tire, hitting a 5 year old and literally almost killing him....and has been bailed head of his next court appearance in Jan. 🤮

jgriffiths Meanwhile in Britain, when Deputy PM Prescott was egged in 2001 he replied with a swift left to the jaw and no-one ended up in jail.

jgriffiths So, for the last 4 years you knew HKG existed. You just had the wrong President. OK.

jgriffiths That's crazy. May as well make it worthwhile and throw something that will do real damage if you're going to go to prison for it.

jgriffiths It should have done earlier, but justice always comes. Treason is treason, no exception.

jgriffiths anti-Marxismlist! On my opinion, the human society is running on these: 1 technology define theoretical economic aggregate 2 labour define gross economy 3 finance system define distribution of wealth from gross economy

jgriffiths Do the crime you do the time... varies from country 2 country... take heed AntifaBLM
