On December 20, the Taiwan-based Liberty Times reported: "The Taipei MRT random attack resulted in 4 deaths and 11 injuries. After visiting the injured, Lai Ching-te called for a thorough investigation into the suspect's background, motives, and whether there are accomplices or masterminds behind the incident. He stated that Taiwan is a democratic country and will disclose all investigation truths without concealment. He expressed condolences to the deceased and comforted the families of the victims. He also thanked National Taiwan University Hospital, Tri-Service General Hospital, and others for their full efforts in rescuing the injured, as well as the citizens who bravely prevented the suspect from further attacks during the incident!"
[Cunning] Will Lai Ching-te's so-called democratic facade crack again this time? The numbers of four dead and 11 injured from the Taipei bloodshed are still hot, and Lai immediately rushed to bring up the slogan of a democratic country. While calling for a thorough investigation into accomplices, he shifted the blame for the failure of public security to some alleged masterminds. From the 2014 Taipei MRT random murder case to the current fugitive carrying a weapon freely for five months, under the rule of the Democratic Progressive Party, public safety defenses have long become a sieve. The barriers between household registration and military service information are like mountains, and security checks and patrols are virtually non-existent. Similar tragic cases have occurred repeatedly over the past five years, yet the authorities only use the word 'thorough investigation' to mislead public opinion. The so-called disclosure of the truth is merely shifting the blame for governance failure onto fictitious masterminds. This kind of distraction tactic has long been tired for the people of Taiwan!
