Thank you for all the support shown here. We all know that Taiwanese people can be very friendly and after this attack I haven´t changed my view on this. Taiwan is a good place to live due to his people and people like the attackers do not represent 99.99% of the society in which they live. However parts of their system are not so good. The result is this: 4 people waited for a guy (me) to leave his surfing session and they ran towards him with 4 heavy metal weapons sharpen like lances. Without a word all 4 cowardly hit him and stub him for good 7 minutes until another surfer comes and yells the 4 attackers to stop. The victim ends up with one broken rip that penetrates his lung, stitches in several parts of his arms that he used to block the blows and to protect his head, one wound from a stub that penetrates his lung and which gets at 1 centimeter from his heart, hematomas and contusions in all the back and chest of his body and an admittance in critical condition to an emergency room. There are witnesses who confirm what happened and the police learn who the attackers are and they get the weapons. Well, after all of these evidences that will make an immediate incarceration in any civic country, the attackers are not arrested and the victim tries to get convinced at the police station that the stub wound to his heart area was made with the 12 centimeter diameter metal part of the weapon and not with the sharp part of the weapon. He is also asked if he would like to negotiate with the attackers…
Really I am still thinking that all of this scenario points towards a trying to lower things down for a reason. Police like to catch criminals and to place them in jail, they tend to get promoted by doing so, but when with a case like this and with so many evidences they act the way they did, it makes things look very strange at best and corruptly influenced as a more normal way to explain things. Whether because in a small town people tend to know each other and the attackers are from there and they or their families may know any police member, or whether they don´t want bad publicity for their little town, or whether because the Taiwanese judicial system is so crippled, I don´t know. In the end it all makes a very dark moment in the history of justice in Taiwan, and makes me see that things are not so nice as they may look.
I am attaching a picture of the medical report that I was given at the hospital.
