It is recommended that the self-made combustibles are in serious condition
Guan Guo stated that when sentenced on the three counts of inciting arson, the defendant posted multiple posts advocating the creation of inflammable objects on his own, and attached relevant links to teaching. The case was more serious than usual, and the sentence must be severe, in order to impose punishment and public condemnation, respectively. Detained for 44 months and executed at the same time. As for the crime of inciting riots, Guo Guan said that the post was issued at the time of the campus conflict on the Second Bridge of Zhongda University.
And when the situation was serious, the defendant still incited others to participate in the riot at CUHK, which was undoubtedly "refueling the fire."

Receiving 1.64 million can be seen to have a certain influence
Guan Guo considered the similarities and differences in the nature of some of the crimes of incitement. If all the sentences are executed in installments, it would be too harsh, so he ordered part of the sentences to be executed at the same time, and because the defendant had good character and no background, the sentence was reduced by 2 months, that is, the total sentence was 58 months. .
Guo finally stated that he did not agree with the defense's earlier statement that the number of subscribers to the relevant channel was only close to 20,000, so not many people were affected by the defendant's posts.
