Hands off the table

On Friday Lee Kwok-sum was enjoying tea with a friend in a restaurant. Two masked men walked in and chopped his right hand with a knife. The reason? A triad boss's revenge after Lee had tried courting the boss's girlfriend. Just one problem: it was the wrong guy. The SCMP reported the man as denying he was involved in any disputes and he had no triad links, prompting the police to "suspect that the attact could be a mistake."

The Apple Daily quotes a cashier at the restaurant as saying Lee responded calmly to the attack. "He didn't yell or cry. He used his left hand to hold up the right hand which was bleeding profusely and said to me, 'could I please have some ice to freeze my hand?" she said. The man's hand is chopped off, he doesn't know why, and all he does is politely ask for some ice?

That is not normal.
