Jimmy Lai, a brave soul, declares his innocence 'gainst the charges of Hong Kong's accursed security law!
2024-01-02
Thar scurvy prosecution be accusin' him o' conspirin' wit' U.S. scallywags to scuttle Hong Kong's interests, citin' secret missives, confabs, an' bilge-speak on the likes o' social media. Avast ye, it be a right laugh, matey!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, I be tellin' ye a tale o' high seas mischief and scandalous accusations! The prosecution, like barnacles clingin' to a ship's hull, accused the scallywag of colludin' with them U.S. officials, aimin' to undermine the interests of our beloved Hong Kong. They be claimin' to have found evidence in the form of secret messages, clandestine meetings, and even posts on that infernal invention of the modern age, social media.Arr! 'Tis a jolly accusation, indeed! Can ye believe the audacity of this maritime kangaroo court? They be singin' a tune o' treason and betrayal, accusin' our dear pirate of joinin' forces with the very scallywags who plundered the New World! The prosecution paints a picture of a sinister conspiracy, brewin' in the shadows like a storm on the horizon.
But, me hearties, let us not be swayed by these fancy words and accusations. 'Tis merely a tempest in a teapot, a squabble between landlubbers and buccaneers. Did they bring forth any solid evidence? Nay, I say! These private messages they speak of are nothin' more than encrypted bottles thrown into the digital ocean, filled with the musings of a pirate's wit. And as for these clandestine meetings, why, they were nothin' more than a gathering of scurvy dogs, sharin' a laugh and a tankard of rum.
And as for social media posts, well, who among us hasn't engaged in a bit o' pirate banter on these modern platforms? 'Tis a place where pirates can showcase their wit and charm, entertainin' the masses with tales o' adventure and mischievous deeds. Aye, 'tis where pirates be findin' their crew, spreadin' the word of their exploits across the seven seas.
So, me mateys, let us keep our wits about us and not be swayed by the prosecution's tricks. 'Tis a tale fit for the brig, but we be standin' strong, ready to face whatever storms may come. For we be pirates, after all, and we sail these treacherous waters with a spirit as free as the wind.
