Poop on the streets of Hong Kong
WEI QING SUNG COURT STATEMENT
"Today, we were roaming around the eclectic and eccentric streets of Hong Kong when our baby, Xiao Ming, was absolutely desperate to go to the toilet and move his bowels (poop). However, we were stuck inside the MTR in Central station, and there were no toilets nearby. In order to avoid our child moving his bowels (pooping) in his pants and creating a horrible stench and disturbance to everyone, or even worse, all over the floor of the clean and pristine MTR, we decided to let him move his bowels (poop) into the rubbish bin. Unluckily, there were many people around who saw this, and one man videoing us from a corner. I don't think many people understand that as a mother, I didn't really have a better solution to this problem, and therefore they all judged me and called me 'ignorant' and 'uncivilized'. This hurt me very much, and out of anger, I lost my temper and demanded that the man videoing my baby moving his bowels (pooping) deleted the video. He refused, and the only choice I had to protect my baby was to take the SD card of his camera. Then, everyone stared at me and decided to call the staff. I started to walk away, because I knew that no one would understand my point of view and no one would sympathize with me, however they stopped me from leaving. My only option left was to throw my pram at the people who were blocking me from the escalator, and run away." I spluttered.
"What was the motive for stealing the SD card? Was it simply thoughts of protecting your baby, or was it also for protection of judgment of yourself?" asked the Prosecution Lawyer.
"I was so full of anger; I can't exactly recall what I was thinking. I was quite literally trembling with anger. However, I can remember some things, and I remember wanting to protect my baby. Imagine if when your child grew older, and found this video of them pooping into a rubbish bin on the internet! The absolute thought of Xiao Ming finding that video when he grows older horrified me, so I guess you could say that my motive was to protect my baby, mainly not for myself. But of course, I did want to shield myself from some forthcoming judgment." I said. I didn't really know what I was saying; all I knew was I was telling the truth and letting what should happen, happen.
"Very well. That concludes my cross examination." Said the Prosecution Lawyer, alike he had been defeated.
As he said that, I could feel my heart's beat decreasing and I had never felt more relieved in my life.
