JUST IN: Hong Kong's High Court has found a man guilty in the city's first-ever trial under the Beijing-imposed national security law. In a landmark verdict on Tuesday, 24-year-old Tong Ying-kit was convicted of committing incitement to secession and terrorist activities by Madam Justices Esther Toh, Anthea Pang and Justice Wilson Chan. He could face up to life imprisonment as the court adjourned the sentencing. Mitigation is set for Thursday.
.
The activist, who had pleaded not guilty to the charges, is the first person to be found guilty of breaching the controversial security legislation, which also outlaws subversion and collusion with foreign powers. Tuesday's ruling will likely set a precedent for upcoming national security cases.

Tong was arrested on July 1 last year, after he rammed a motorcycle displaying a "Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times" protest flag into three policemen during a demonstration in Wan Chai. More on HKFP.

為什麼有人拿著這麼大一把槍? 如果你熟悉美國政治, 一定馬上猜到, 又有共和黨人在競選造勢了, 殺人武器是他們最能引起支持者共鳴的道具。之前已經有一堆共和黨政客拿槍競選, 通通選上了。甚至有候選人把槍當成禮物送給選民。

這把槍可不是普通的槍, 是一種半自動武器, 每秒鐘可連發數十發子彈, 是美國濫射悲劇中最常見的凶器。共和黨政客不但堅持不禁, 還到處公開把玩。對他們來說, 輕鬆買到殺傷力強大的槍械是自由意志最高的表現, 更是美國精神的極致展現。

這對男女是甚麼貨色呢? 去年他們在家門前持槍恐嚇和平示威的路過民眾, 上報後立刻成為保守派寵兒, 共和黨的英雄。他們前不久被法院宣判行為不檢和騷擾罪成立, 槍械被沒收。於是男的宣布要進軍國會, 志在成為密蘇里州參議員。

如果你還不清楚共和黨是甚麼東西, 還不懂為什麼共和黨愛戴川普。這兩個人可以給你最好的答案。美國保守派完全就是自私和暴力的象徵。

Because I Love you | Shakin' Stevens | Guitar Solo version.
If I got down on my knees and I pleaded with you
If I crossed a million oceans just to be with you
Would you ever let me down?

If I climbed the highest mountain just to hold you tight
If I said that I would love you every single night
Would you ever let me down?

Well I'm sorry if it sounds kinda sad, it's just that
Worried, so worried
that you let me down

Chorus: Because I love you, love you
Love you, so don't let me down

If I swam the longest river just to call your name
If I said the way I feel for you would never change
Would you ever fool around

Well I'm sorry if it sounds kinda bad, just that
Worried, cuz' I'm so worried
that you let me down

Michael Jordan's coach pleaded with him to go back in the game, and the opposing coach made sure Jordan had the chance to end his career with a basket. Jordan's last shot was a free throw, and like his final appearance in an NBA uniform, it was good.

One of the greatest players in NBA history played the final game of his illustrious career Wednesday night, not in the setting that he would have preferred but in a special atmosphere nonetheless. Jordan's final moment on the court ended with him receiving applause and a lengthy standing ovation from nearly everyone in the arena — including the coaches and the other players.

He soaked it all up with a wide smile and a wave to the crowd after exiting for good with 1:44 remaining in the fourth quarter of a 107-87 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

"Now I guess it hits me that I'm not going to be in a uniform anymore — and that's not a terrible feeling," Jordan said afterward. "It's something that I've come to grips with, and it's time. This is the final retirement."

Jordan finished with 15 points, four rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes — drawing several adoring ovations from the last sellout crowd that will ever watch him play.

"The Philly people did a great job. They gave me the biggest inspiration, in a sense," Jordan said. "Obviously, they wanted to see me make a couple of baskets and then come off. That was very, very respectful, and I had a good time."

Jordan's final points almost looked scripted, with Eric Snow of the 76ers fouling him in the backcourt for no apparent reason except to send him to the line.

"Coach (Larry Brown) told me to foul him, get him to the line to get some points and get him out of there," Snow said.

Both foul shots went in, and the Wizards committed a foul one second later so that Jordan could be removed from the game and receive the proper send-off. In a rare scene, the 10 players who remained on the court turned to Jordan and applauded, too.

The 40-year-old Jordan would have preferred to end his career in the playoffs, but the Wizards never clicked during his two years in Washington and finished 37-45 in both seasons.

But that was merely a footnote on this stirring night, the last time the basketball public was treated to one of the greatest athletes in history playing the game one last time.

Jordan finished his career with 32,292 points — the third-highest total in league history, behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone. His final career average of 30.12 goes down as the best in NBA history, just ahead of Wilt Chamberlain's 30.07.

"I never, never took the game for granted. I was very true to the game, and the game was very true to me. It was just that simple," Jordan said.

With the Sixers ahead by 21 points with 9½ minutes remaining, the crowd began chanting "We want Mike." The chant grew louder as the period progressed with Jordan remaining seated, and fans ignored the game to stand and stare at the Wizards' bench, wondering why Jordan wasn't playing.

This being Philadelphia, they eventually booed.

Jordan finally pulled his warmups off and re-entered the game with 2:35 left for his brief final appearance.

"I played here. I told him I at least have to be able to come back (to Philadelphia)," Wizards coach Doug Collins said. "I told him to go back in for a minute. He said, 'I'm stiff.' I said, 'Please. They want to see you.' He said, 'Larry Hughes is going to foul out soon, so put me in then.'"

Earlier in the game, Jordan showed his age.

There was a play in the first quarter when he looked like the Jordan of old, except for the result. Starting near the foul line, Jordan ducked his shoulder, lowered his head, stuck out his tongue and drove to his right, the ball rolling off his fingers ever so softly as it arched toward the net.

Rather than going in, though, the ball hit the front rim and missed — one of several of his shots that came up a few inches short.

One of the exceptions was Jordan's final shot of the first half — a one-handed dunk that came after he received a nice pass under the basket from Bobby Simmons.

Jordan hit his first two shots of the third quarter but didn't do much else positive in the period. On an alley-oop pass from Tyronn Lue, the ball hit him in the fingertips and bounced harmlessly away. A lazy crosscourt pass was picked off by Aaron McKie, leading to one of Philadelphia's 31 fast-break points. Jordan's final field-goal attempt was a missed layup with 8:13 remaining.

"I'm not embarrassed," Jordan said, "but it's just not ... I've had better feelings in terms of playing a competitive game."
