I believe this matter needs no introduction. Everyone knows that this real-name report should be a helpless move. If it were not for the Tangshan beating incident, the boss would not have spoken out to report it. This is completely a bad move. I had no choice but to find an opportunity this time.
The Tangshan police also handled the matter in a very timely manner and issued a notice: The main suspects in the case, Shi and Li, have been captured by the public security organs, and the case is under further investigation.
The cake shop owner in the video, whose surname is Meng, mentioned that he has been threatened and intimidated by Shi and others for a long time, and the other party also arranged for idle people to destroy his store. Since July 2021, Shi and others have visited his cake shop many times to extort money. There was one thing that made him very angry. The other party actually threatened him in front of the police, saying that they would not act in accordance with the law and had their own way, and it would not matter even if he went to jail.
The shop owner Mr. Meng also said that Shi’s female classmate Wang fabricated a debt dispute, turned herself into a debtor, and then entrusted Shi to collect debts from him, which was completely extortion.
I believe everyone has seen the online surveillance video. Late one night, a man wearing a hoodie and a mask walked into the store. He hit the store with something that looked like a hammer in his hand, and almost all the glass on the counter was smashed. The people in the store refused to accept the beating and even threw objects outside the store.
The law requires evidence. I think everyone knows this. It’s not what you say, and the video of the shop owner’s report is well-founded. There are also phone recordings and videos of the store being smashed. If the content is true, the offender may be suspected of extortion and intentional damage to property.
First of all, the crime of extortion refers to the act of illegally possessing the victim's public or private property by intimidating, threatening, coercing and other means against the victim for the purpose of illegal possession. See, that matches exactly what the owner reported.
According to Article 274 of the "Criminal Law", whoever extorts public or private property, if the amount is relatively large, or if the amount is extorted repeatedly, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or surveillance, and shall also or solely be fined; the amount shall be: If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined; if the amount is particularly huge or there are other particularly serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than ten years and shall also be fined;
Whoever commits the crime of fraud if the amount is relatively large or there are other particularly serious circumstances shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years and shall also be fined.
For the crime of extortion, according to relevant explanations, a crime worth 2,000 yuan can constitute a criminal case, which is what people often call a crime. This incident is obvious. The money extorted from the shop owner must be more than 2,000 yuan.
The second is the crime of intentional destruction of property, which refers to behavior that intentionally destroys or damages public or private property, involving a large amount or other serious circumstances.
According to Article 275 of the "Criminal Law", whoever intentionally destroys public or private property and the amount is relatively large or there are other serious circumstances shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or a fine; the amount is huge or there are other particularly serious circumstances. , shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years.
As for the sentencing of this penalty, Article 33 of the "Standard Regulations on Filing of Criminal Cases under the Jurisdiction of Public Security Organs (1)" stipulates that if the loss of public or private property exceeds 5,000 yuan, a case must be filed for prosecution. Judging from the pickpocketing videos circulating on the Internet and the store owner's oral statement, the property damage basically exceeded 5,000 yuan.
Of course, the specific situation still needs to be verified by relevant departments. If it is true, it must be investigated clearly. The final punishment will depend on the investigation results and the court's decision.
In fact, for any incident, we need to maintain a clear mind and the ability to think independently. Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors, don't make rumors. You must remain rational when speaking. This is the new youth in the Internet age.
