The July 1 parade was banned yesterday (1st). A middle-aged man killed himself after stabbing a security police officer with a knife in Causeway Bay. According to the news, he left a suicide note and the case is now classified as "intentional murder."

The Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung initially defined it as a "lone wolf-style terrorist attack."

It is understood that the police force is investigating and judging the incident. Based on the background of the assailant and the choice of assassination on important days, it is believed that the motives and tactics are consistent with foreign attacks. At present, the most concern is that extreme ideas tend to be secretive, and they are worried that they will be imitated.

Some sociological scholars pointed out that this time the incident has sounded the alarm, the society should calmly deal with the relevant phenomena, understand the underlying reasons, and provide effective ways to diversify. The government should also effectively respond to citizens’ concerns about freedom of speech and changes in life patterns. They should not be slogans. Style comfort.

According to Secretary for Security Deng Pingqiang, the case is now classified as "intentional murder" and described as a "lone wolf terrorist attack", which is the direction of this investigation.

It is understood that the police force is investigating and judging the incident based on the background, relics, and suicide notes of the assailant. It is believed that social climate issues such as dissatisfaction with increased arrests and freedom of speech are possible factors that cannot be obliterated. I believe that the sentiment has been countered. Since the amendments have accumulated for a long time, they "cannot bear a certain phenomenon", and then choose to kill themselves after assassination on important days, so they believe that the motives and methods are consistent with the attacks that have occurred in foreign countries.

Internal attention, the assailant has never had a criminal record, and he is not an active user of social media. There are no clues and it is difficult to identify and prevent. Different police units, such as the Cyber ​​Crime Division, have always had dedicated personnel "online patrols" to inspect and crack down on the Internet. The radical comments on the above believe that many of the "police violent" publications contain information that is classified as "fake news", prompting the identification of law enforcement as the greatest enemy, but recently noticed signs of "underground".

At present, there are internal concerns about the emergence of imitators, saying that foreign countries also have experience. After an attack has been "beautified", it will trigger imitating, and it is necessary to examine how to strengthen community discrimination.

The incident has aroused public concern. The Chair Professor of the Department of Social Work and Social Administration of the University of Hong Kong, Ip Siu-hui, described the incident as a tragedy.

He believes that there could have been ways to ease emotions, such as demonstrations, which allow the public to participate and express their opinions. However, due to the epidemic and other factors, it cannot be held for the time being. In addition, if there are mental health problems or emotional distress, it may lead to the present situation. In the second tragedy, "You can leave when the resources are good (immigration), but there are people who can’t leave because of different reasons...it’s important to deal with the emotions of the people.”

Ye Zhaohui pointed out that the alarm has been sounded in this incident. The demonstrator Liang Lingjie fell to his death in Pacific Place in Admiralty. This incident is even more extreme. The deceased first hurt others and then hurt himself.

He believes that society should calmly deal with the relevant phenomena, understand the underlying reasons, and provide effective ways to diversify, and the government should also effectively respond to public concerns, "such as changes in living patterns, freedom of speech, etc." Slogan-style comfort should truly give citizens confidence.

Ye Zhaohui has repeatedly emphasized that the relevant behavior is wrong, not only hurting oneself, but also hurting others. People who are worried about poor mental health or imitate them, urging to seek professional help as soon as possible.
