Seventy Seven Times
If you do not recognize the name Yip Kai Foon, he was a notorious robber from Hong Kong. He died last month while in prison. Before he went to prison for the second time, he has no regard for other human being.He once joined forced with another notorious criminal trying to kidnap one of the sons of the richest Chinese in the world, Lee Ka Shing. It was unsuccessful and he was imprisoned for his part in it. He escaped prison and got his hands on a few AK-47. He used these weapons to hit a series of Jewllery Store and sprayed bullets everywhere.Remember the North Hollywood shootout? How the LAPD was powerless with their powerful 9-mm? The police in Hong Kong were, and still, carries only .38 revolvers. They do not even have any bulletprrof vest, and do not have police cars as shield. He was eventually captured by the, then, newly formed SWAT team.He became a Christian while in prison, and after he died, he was paraded as some sort of hero. During the funeral, the banner over his coffin says 「浩氣長存」(a noble spirit that mill never perish).A lot of people have issue with the term "noble" with this notorious robber.I have been reading a lot of non-Christians posting their disgust over how he is treated as some sort of hero, and famous Christians standing up for him. I believe their biggest issue with him is that he became a Christian, and the Christians treated him as if he has done none of the notorious acts before.I think they may have an easier time with him if he apologize for his crime, especially for the women he killed in one of the heists he pulled. He did none of that, and was even disciplined in prison for fight with an inmate after he became a Christian.What do I think of him? I have absolutely no idea. What do I think of the Christians who are part of the group adorning him? They should have done a much better job discipling him, and get him to apologize to everyone in Hong Kong for terrorizing everyone while he was on the run.
