But you're right, that portion of my post was meant for Limsgp. :bsmilie:
I'll just summarise my opinions as compared to yours
You said, the act of one person's crime resulted in the insult to a whole nation. (and thus, is not fair)
I said, it is the act of one police force, one govt, one group of people, and maybe other factors, that resulted in the insult at a whole nation.
Your comment seems to imply that, If this person had not acted in the way he did, the nation would not have been insulted. (really? you believe so?)
My comment suggest that, if the police, govt, groups had handled the situation better, the nation would not have been insulted. (Even if this person acted as such, if appropriate actions have been taken and executed, the nation would not be insulted. Instead, they could be praised for effective measures )
No one can predict if a terrorist might appear in their country and do something drastic. It is the damage control and the way the situation was handled that matters.
So, I say, if the pple's focus is that it is "one person's doing" issue, and there is NOTHING wrong with the police, the govt, the group of pple taking pictures (and so it is not fair for the insult on them), Then, what can others expect of them to give a satisfactory answer to the HK pple?
Let the rest of the pple judge if it is one person's doing resulting in the insult of the nation or many parties' (components of a nation, including govt, police) "doings" that resulted in the insult of a nation.
Add: you said "One person crime" (meaning, One person's act).. In other words, it like trying to say, "He did it. He's killed/punished. Case close".
