Chen Po-wei Became a Legislator Despite a Hit-and-Run Record: Is Taiwan Regressing into a Rural Society?—The Hit-and-Run Controversy and Social Values

Among all crimes in the world, rape-murder and hit-and-run are serious evil acts that eradicate humanity

And if a person commits a hit-and-run and lies, it is hard to imagine why such a person can represent the people and shamelessly dare to walk into the sacred halls of the legislature

We must ask our hearts: why can we allow a group of people with concerning IQs and logical problems to be our officials and lead our future…

Chen Po-wei, a legislator of the 10th Republic of China Legislature… As the recall issue fermented recently, it was revealed that few years ago, he drove into a motorcyclist, causing serious injuries, and then actually fled the scene, leaving the dying victim on the road…

Everyone can make mistakes and needs reflection and correction to continue surviving in the torrent of society. However, for a representative of the people in “politics, the management of public affairs,” we need higher selection standards…

You made a mistake, you’ve corrected it; that’s good, but ultimately it’s your personal matter…

Going into politics affects everyone, changes the entire social environment, and you will possess very large—one could even say excessive power

No matter who, anyone who dares to commit rape-murder or hit-and-run… get far away from the political circle for me…

If a person would commit a hit-and-run yesterday, they will be faithless and unrighteous tomorrow…

Stars in South Korea’s entertainment circle are completely banned as long as they make some mistakes, even having movies recast mid-production or programs suspended… Yet in Taiwan, a person who committed a hit-and-run can stay in the political circle and even criticize all who oppose him with the air of a savior… And there’s a bunch of devout followers underneath shouting Keep it up!

When we demand the conduct and character of an entertainer be better than that of a politician, it means our society is fundamentally terminally ill

And even more heartbreaking… incomprehensible… I see today many Green camp politicians or “3Q Brother” hardcore fans speaking up to cheer for a hit-and-run criminal, easily building their joy and happiness on the pain of the victim

We thought Taiwan was a progressive democratic society under the rule of law; as it turns out, in order to protect the position of a hit-and-run offender, the fact that Taiwan is completely a rural society following the rule of men is bloodily exposed…

What exactly is the difference between the Ta-Green-Ban and the Communist Party??

I ask everyone one last question: if this recall fails, allowing Chen Po-wei to continue staying in the political circle happily, freely, and without fear, will it make future hit-and-run criminals more willing to gamble with other people’s lives hoping they won’t be caught??

After all, not being caught is one’s own good luck, and the person who is hit and injured or even killed is just unlucky… Even if caught, in the future, it’s possible to become an official and lecture the police… absolutely ridiculous… 迫
