    5 and a half months for an “offensive weapon” vs 2 months for wounding for a repeat violent offender. Hard not to see a pattern here.

    So the victim of the alleged assault says it didn't happen. Unless they have video showing it did happen, how on earth do DOJ expect to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt?

    Speech crime is also now non-bailable, while violent attackers are praised for loving Hong Kong. What happened to no discount for political reasons (i.e. protest actions)? Oh yeah, only if you are against the government...justice with Chinese characteristics.

    A court magistrate said the defendant, Wong, who pled guilty to assaulting pro-democracy activist Leung Kwok-hung has “passion for society,” extending his bail during a hearing Monday
    .
    Wong, who is in his 80s, stabbed Leung—better known as “Long Hair”—outside the Liaison Office in April with a sharp object. Leung suffered a minor injury to his abdomen.
    He originally faced a two-month jail term, but the court has lowered his sentence to 160 hours of community service.
    The judiciary seems to be showing some jealousy for the pace of promotion of police officers in charge of putting down protests.

    No political views, total impartiality and neutrality sure... How long before we see the rewards for “impartiality” I wonder.

    3 months for stabbing someone, up to 10 years (with some already getting 4-6 years) for allegedly taking part in blocking roads. I feel safer already.
