Two of the men arrested in Pedder Street, Central, pleaded guilty to riots and illegal assembly in the West Kowloon Court today (11th).

During his sentence, Judge Lian Jinhong stated that the umbrella was once a peaceful protest that Hong Kong was proud of, but was later robbed by some violent demonstrators.

300 people gather 40 people to block the road

According to the case, people had gathered around Pedder Street since noon that day.

By 3:30 pm, the number of people gathered increased to about 300. Most of the demonstrators were wearing black clothes and carrying umbrellas. Among them, about 40 people built umbrellas at the junction of Pedder Street and Des Voeux Road Central and made them with bamboo branches and garbage.

Afterwards, Mai and about 10 other demonstrators were on the flyover on Connaught Road Central, and they smashed bricks to the cars crossing the road under the bridge. One of the police cars was hit by several bricks and the window glass was broken.

Another defendant, Huang Tianle, was photographed holding up an open umbrella in front of the umbrella line at about 2 o'clock.

The two were subsequently arrested. Mai was found with masks, wrenches and other items, and Huang Ze was found with cassette LPG tanks and fire guns.

Youth is a process, not an achievement

When sentencing, the trainer said that the two defendants were both very young and should have been the pillars of Hong Kong's future society, but emphasized that "youngness is just a process, not an achievement."

Among them, the defendant Machongji was fully equipped that day. During lunch time, he threw bricks at the police car in the heart of Hong Kong’s business. No one was injured in the incident. It was only a "great blessing in misfortune." Hong Kong has always been proud of its reputation as a peaceful and pragmatic business society.

The trainer also reprimanded some irresponsible sidemen, political opinion leaders and educators who tolerated rape, thinking that they should be most responsible for the incident, but Mai is a mature adult who should be responsible for his actions and eventually sentenced him to prison. 3 years and 4 months.

Huang brought tools to the scene to help violent demonstrators

The training officer pointed out that at noon on the day of the incident, bamboo sticks had been placed on Des Voeux Road in Central to block the road, and masked demonstrators were also gathering with umbrellas, but the fire engine failed to pass.

It is impossible for Huang to not know that violence is taking place at the scene.

However, Huang still brought the tools involved in the case to the scene. He obviously had the intention of using these tools and intended to be present to facilitate the actions of other violent demonstrators.

The training officer continued that the umbrella was once a peaceful struggle that Hong Kong was proud of, but it evolved and was later robbed by some violent demonstrators, who did everything under the cover of the umbrella.

Although he believes that Huang is not a bad person, he is an adult with a higher education and should know that he is responsible for his actions and sentenced to 9 months in prison.
