Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau official microblogging send an announcement confirmed Chengpeng scene book signings activities "was a textbook masses slapped batterer then back to the review by the Haidian police, its claim to be a result of the antipathy of a new book by content, then by the signature of the machine hands. "

All sides can see that the two acts, of Chengpeng the book signings, suffered slapped and threw a kitchen knife at least, there are difference in behavior details and facts. Former are directly infringes on personal rights and interests of violence, this disclosure of information from @ Ping Beijing also corroborated; while the latter, from the very beginning or operator performance art to express different opinions, but when the after packaging chopper not can send out and changed to "throw" the behavior of the risk of a sudden and devastating.

According to reports, the man surnamed Yin Chengpeng hands after the kick, "ran scolded traitor" Police say the so-called "objectionable of new book content. Articles published, readers have kind of evaluation, praised or criticized, support, or oppose, should be considered normal.

Need to see criticism point of view, the article has been developed from the the curse "traitor" to fight "traitors", and identified as the same as the former undignified role is becoming the latter behavior so-called legitimacy (or at least, is the co moral) basis. The next problem is that, even if the opinions are wrong, even to the extent of the "traitor" is wrong, you can resort to private violence? The answer is clearly no. Is not correct to a certain political basis for of remarks published within 35 of the Constitution allows the use of violence, and must not be law connivance.
