Chapter 1268: Don't Look Down on the Stick

It's been hyped up for a year, and when it first broke, no one aired the full video, because the tape was in the hands of the TV station that got the original tape first, and they didn't say a word.

Later, Zhang Nan occasionally watched the news and asked people to call the head of the news department of the TV network, telling him that he might have been used as a gun. I stopped following up on the news, asked the TV station that provided the information to get the full information, and interviewed the filmmaker before the full footage was broadcast again.

The comments are also relatively objective, but this can't stop several other major TV networks and local TV stations in Los Angeles from deliberately taking things out of context - everything is for profit, because United Television Network has a Chinese backstage boss, so it has always spoken from an objective standpoint on the racial issue in the United States, and the evaluation among the American people is quite good.

Well, the above is a nice scene, in fact, Zhang Nan thinks: Your black and white, white and Latin, Latin and black things that are not cleaned up and messy are none of my business?

As long as you don't harm the interests of me and my race, it's none of my business that you fight to the death, and human brains become dog brains!

Zhang Nan is a Chinese, and Chinese people have always been kind to their neighbors, and there is nothing wrong with this way of doing things on the United Television Network, and there is not too much interest behind it.

Because of this, Zhang Nan left the sensational Rodney King incident behind him not long ago last year, and even the United Television Network made a lively and visible presence at the beginning, and then followed up on the full videotape incident for a few days before slowly fading out of the main period of news.

The focus is different, unlike other TV and radio networks that stare at this matter!

Some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and the United Television Network, which has opened a plug-in, does not rely on provoking racial contradictions to expand its influence, but wants to make a lot of money and expand, and it has other methods.

Mr. Zhang's propaganda empire did not feature news programs in the past, which is almost unique among the leading media groups in the United States. At that time, people from other major media groups were still making fun of the United Television Network behind their backs, saying that it was giving away the audience to others.

Who wouldn't talk about it, but since it didn't attack openly, the United Television Network didn't bother to pay attention to it, and it didn't take long for those guys who had gloated before to be dumbfounded - except for news programs, their group was beaten by the United Television Network on all sides!

The face is gone, and the inside is even more miserable: everything is for money, and in terms of advertising income of core interests, a huge gap has been opened by the United Television Network within a year!

Also because of the support of huge revenues, the quality and quantity of news programs of the United Television Network have also increased significantly, and if you want to have good news, you have to rely on money to support it.

There is money and everything, there is no money ...

Nothing!

The United States is a world of capital, and that's it.

Zhang Nan, who has seen the world more than 20 years later, knows one thing: in countries with a population of a certain order of magnitude, this TV station that has done well in entertainment, variety shows, and TV dramas can beat the news-based TV station in terms of advertising revenue, and it can't even eat the ashes!

No matter what country you are in, there are always a small number of people who watch TV news every day, and the vast majority of people glance at the news program a few times when something big happens.

And how can there be so many major events in this world, and even if there are, many of the so-called major events are still continuous, before and after, and after reading today's content, you can know what it will be like next month or even next year.

For example, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has been watched by the American people for many years, and the rubber bullets and stones flying around have long lost their freshness, and they have not bothered to take a few more looks.

Good TV series, good variety shows, and good series are good pastimes, most people in life are unsatisfactory, watching TV is a pastime, a good medicine to temporarily relieve and get rid of the cruel reality, who wants to watch more than the news related to vital interests?

Of course, the "elite" will follow the news almost every day, but the general public will always be far more numerous than the "elite", and advertisers know exactly where to invest in order to get the most reward.

The United Television Network not only has paid channels, but also free channels, but the advertising revenue does not distinguish whether the people who watch it or not want to pay, that is, the advertisements of the free channels can be put more, so whether it is a paid or free channel, there are well-made variety shows and TV series, the difference is only in the content.

TV series and variety shows are well done, not to mention that they will collect money and receive hand cramps, and even the money counter is smoking!

As for the traditional American television network's way of relying on subscription fees to support its operation, it is only second in the strategy of the United Television Network: the program is good-looking, the subscription will come up automatically, and the price will naturally rise under the premise that the overall number of advertisements is strictly controlled.

Now that something big is about to happen, Zhang Nan tells Henry to take precautions first, and then wait for the bomb planted by other media groups to explode and blow up the city of Los Angeles.

As soon as the chickens and dogs start to jump, the United Television Network will only focus on how the city of Los Angeles became the Gaza Strip, and as for the Rodney King, whether he and those four hapless cops are dead or alive has nothing to do with him for the time being.

A big blow with a stick - trouble, how much loss Los Angeles will suffer from tomorrow is now only clear to Zhang Nan, anyway, it will surprise the whole United States, people from other countries watched a free, real "American blockbuster" on TV.

Who was beaten?

Such a?

Rodney King, born in Los Angeles in 65, basically worked construction sites, strong as a bull, with a foul temper and evil spirit, Zhang Nan seemed to have heard that this guy died of a drug overdose after more than 20 years, and some said that he drowned in a swimming pool, and he was quite rich at that time.

Where does the money come from?

He doesn't make that much money as a construction worker, and the Los Angeles city government seems to be with him for millions.

The reduced version of the video broadcast by the TV station is very exciting: it took dozens of batons to be subdued in begging for mercy, and the scene will make the black buddies thunder when they see it, but I also have to praise this Rodney King's super ability to resist hits.

Because this man is really super strong, so strong that you need to compare two basketball stars to understand: Rodman, who likes to cause trouble, is 2.01 meters tall and weighs 220 pounds (100 kilograms), and Carl Malone, who is as strong as an ox, is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 260 pounds (213 kilograms).

These two are always strong, especially Karl Malone, who is close to the level of the devil's muscles, and that Rodney King is not as tall as the two NBA stars, but he is also 1.88 meters, which is definitely tall - nothing tall, the exaggeration is that he weighs 250 pounds (nearly 127 kilograms), and he still has no fat on his body, all of which are firm pimple meat, and he is definitely a super strong man!

Strong as a bull and even more evil as a bison: one day in November '89, he went to a grocery store owned by a Korean-American owner to buy a bag of chewing gum with a one-dollar food relief voucher.

The Korean boss just didn't sell the food relief vouchers as soon as he saw it, and the more the two of them quarreled over this little thing, the more angry they became, and finally Kim was furious...

Didn't flatten the shopkeeper, but simply robbed this grocery store!

Well, the choice of muscles in the brain, guilty of robbery was sentenced to two years in prison.

On March 3 last year, Rodney King, who had been released on parole, was drunk and speeding on a Los Angeles highway with two others.

The guy was drunk and reportedly provoked the policewoman who wanted to arrest him, and after the verbal warning was ineffective, Sheriff Conn, who led the team, ordered Powell and four other white detectives to uniformize Kim.

But because Kim resisted, the four cops failed to subdue Kim – he was too strong.

After the warning failed, Sergeant Conn used a high-voltage baton, but Kim immediately stood up after being knocked down twice in a row and lunged at Officer Powell, who used a metal baton to hit King on the head and body, and two other officers kicked King with their boots, but Kim refused to obey the order and was not subdued and begged for mercy until the police knocked down the 56th baton (23 of which were said to be empty).

Rodney King's luck was really good, he didn't know that if it was 20 years later, he would probably be beaten into a hornet's nest when he pounced on that Powell officer at the latest!

He didn't even have to attack the police, who told him to get out of the car if he slowed down and could have been shot.

Haha, the United States in the 90s seems to be much safer than it was 20 years later, otherwise there would not be such a difference in the way the American police enforce the law - shoot if you don't agree.

Here Rodney King was subdued, the police stopped the beating, handcuffed him, stuffed him in an ambulance and took him to the hospital for treatment. Unexpectedly, the whole incident was filmed by a nearby resident named George Halletti with a camera from the window of his apartment, but excluding the footage of Kim resisting arrest and Conn using a high-voltage baton to try to subdue Kim, the video is 81 seconds long.

The next day, George Halletti sent the tape to a local KTLA station in Los Angeles, where the 81-second video was edited into 68 seconds and aired, as well as the truncated video for ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN.

Now it was lively, white police violently beat black youth, and various interests drove media reports to fuel the fire, and the Los Angeles Police Department and the beating police sat on the crater, and by the way, they shoved the police into hell.

CNN's headquarters did not know until it was a period of time before it was broadcast, because the United Television Network had changed the video, and the vice president of CNN ordered that CNN must make up the deleted part of the news broadcast after that, but several other television networks and KTLA except for United Television Network and CNN still broadcast the deleted video.

Things exploded again and again, and most of the low-level blacks looked down on it, or didn't want to watch pay TV at all (that is, cable TV, etc., which had to be paid to watch. I only know that this incident was a group of white police officers beating a black youth, and the previous cause was deliberately erased by the unscrupulous media.

The four police officers became defendants, and the final verdict was handed down tomorrow morning, and Senator Gore was informed that the four police officers were most likely acquitted because the judge and jurors were shown an 81-second version of the videotape.

Congressman Gore thinks a lot, thinking that once this verdict comes out, the black community in the Los Angeles area will definitely make a big fuss - they only know that the white police beat the black youth, but they don't know that they drove drunk during his parole, arrested him, and attacked the police.

The four white policemen even knew about it, and it also aroused the president's idea, but it should be forgotten by Lao Bu. As a senator from California, Gore has to think more about this matter than the old cloth in Washington who is busy every day, but he still doesn't think about how serious the consequences will be!

What will happen tomorrow is inevitable — at least the judges and jurors who will be in this case tomorrow will not think that the four white cops are guilty, they will think that they just did what they had to do, because that's what American law says.

And Rodney King's black buddies just think that the four white cops are guilty, and they are heinous because that's what they get to say.

Knowing that trouble is coming, but it can't be avoided beforehand, this is a dead knot that cannot be solved!

So today, Mr. Congressman had a little headache and complained to Mr. Allen: although he is not the mayor of Los Angeles, he does not want problems in California.

And now hearing Zhang Nan's reminder, Mr. Senator's head has become even bigger: according to past experience, this trouble is not only an astonishing number of black buddies will take to the streets, but it is estimated that many Latinas will also join in the fun, and if it becomes a national event, it will be even more lively.

Okay, just wait and see what tomorrow holds.

After all the phone calls, Zhang Nan suddenly thought that he had forgotten to tell Mr. Senator one thing: this was when he was wandering around the big garden of the Jia Yin family, and suddenly a sentence came out: ", forget something!"

Dixit, who was holding his hand, was startled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Nan thought for a moment and said, "It has nothing to do with us, it has to do with sticks." ”

"Sticks?"

"Koreans, I like to call them sticks..."

briefly talked about the question of why Koreans are called sticks, and then said: "Now Los Angeles is a powder keg, and the verdict will be a detonator in more than ten hours, and the most interesting thing is that the most hated black people in Los Angeles recently are not whites, but Koreans."

You've been in Hollywood for so long, you should know about the Korean shopkeeper beating a thief, right?"

Dixit lives in Beverly Hills, which is north of Los Angeles, and doesn't usually pay attention to the racial issues in Los Angeles because he lives in the safest part of Los Angeles.

But she had heard about it and remembered why the black people of Los Angeles hated Koreans.

Last year, less than two weeks after Rodney King was beaten down, on March 16, a 15-year-old, underage black girl in Los Angeles was caught stealing from a small South Korean-owned supermarket by the proprietress on camera.

After being caught by the proprietress for a moment, the 15-year-old black girl knocked the 51-year-old Korean proprietress to the ground and happily turned away.

Then the Korean proprietress took out a pistol out of nowhere and shot the black girl who stole things in front of the supermarket (shot in the back), which is very consistent with the habit of sticks.

The shooting in the back occurred at a sensitive time in the initial trial of Rodney's case, and the impact was so great that the judge eventually sentenced the South Korean proprietress to a $500 fine and 400 hours of community service without jail time, thus triggering racial hatred of blacks against Koreans.

Zhang Nan forgot to remind Gore to pay attention to the safety of Koreatown, where there is a Korean community in Los Angeles, but if he forgets, he forgets that it is none of his business whether the sticks live or die, and those sticks will solve it by themselves.

Dixit was kind-hearted and a little worried: "If there is really a large-scale riot, coupled with the lack of police force, those blacks may bloody Koreatown, really don't remind the senators?"

In the case of a large city in the United States, the police will first strengthen the security of traditionally important areas, such as Beverly Hills.

If something goes wrong in an area like Beverly Hills, it's super big - trouble!

Zhang Nan smiled: What police force is not enough, the Los Angeles police will directly abandon Koreatown, there will not be a policeman there, as for the reason, it may be that those policemen hate sticks, or they may not want to sacrifice themselves to block the muzzle, who knows.

But since the woman asked, Zhang Nan still said: "Stick is a very interesting nation, you can call him stick contemptuously, but don't despise him."

This nation is very united, just wait, they will take up guns and defend their homeland. ”

"Are they so small that they can beat the blacks?"

Zhang Nan laughed when he heard this, and suddenly looked around interestingly, and found that only Vasily was chatting with his brother-in-law, and the boss was chatting in the distance, and Brother Mark was followed seven or eight meters away, and he didn't see Tom.

Then he said: "Don't tell Tom and Zach, and Miranda, that the black people in Los Angeles are really going to rush up to the stick, it will be a massacre!"

It's not the blacks who slaughter the sticks, it's the sticks that can destroy all the black buddies who go to Koreatown. ”

Dixitt looked incredulous - how much of the annual violent crime in Los Angeles was related to black buddies?

Don't think she doesn't know.

The stick is short and small, how can it be compared to a bunch of muscular male black dudes?

"Don't believe it, don't say that the little ruffians and hooligans are the most powerful black buddies gangsters, and they are all scum in front of the united stick people!

7 out of 10 adults in South Korea Town, Los Angeles own guns, but that's not the point, and the proportion of black buddies should be so high.

The key is that the black buddies are scattered in groups, and even if they are messed up, they are still a rabble.

But the sticks are different, they will turn into an army!

In front of the army, all ruffians and gangsters are floating clouds, not to mention rabble.

Wait, if the black buddies want to rob and bloody Koreatown, the result must be that the black buddies have suffered heavy casualties, and the sticks will at most be killed and injured at the beginning because of the possibility of being caught off guard.

When they react, the blacks who want to take advantage of Koreatown are just bulls in the slaughterhouse, and no matter how strong they are, they will be slaughtered. ”

Dixit heard his man's judgment and said strangely, "Koreans are so powerful?"

Don't you think that a Korean with a face and a small height is so tough?

"Male citizens between the ages of 20 and 30 in South Korea are required to serve in the military, and I say yes, even if they have a serious illness but can live independently, they need to undergo compulsory short-term military training.

Only those with mental illness, serious illness and disabilities, as well as the best athletes, criminals deprived of political rights, are exempt from military service.

By the way, there are several situations in which military service is not required, that is, the conditions are very harsh, as if people who are too tall, too short, too fat and too thin do not need to serve in the military, because clothing and equipment cannot be used.

Anyway, almost all normal Korean men have served in the military, and the Korean immigrants in Koreatown in Los Angeles are basically the first generation, and the proportion of those adult men who have served in the military is very large.

Coupled with the unusual unity of the stick itself, and even the inherently aggressive nature, it is strange that it will not be organized when the time comes.

A hundred soldiers can slaughter 10,000 civilians with guns, this is not nonsense, you just wait and see the excitement, the sticks will impress the world.

That's why I said it's okay to be sarcastic, but don't despise them, they won't suffer a lot if they are not careful!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan asked her again: "Do you want to remind your friends?"

"I was reminded of it. ”

"I said if you have a friend who has opened a store, this riot store will be the hardest hit area, especially in South Los Angeles, where the security is relatively bad. ”

Dixit shook her head, "I don't have friends who own stores in Los Angeles. Alan, will those people go to the old Chinese city?"

Zhang Nan remembered that the old Huaxia City was a little far away from the center of the riots, and it seemed that it had not been impacted, but it was not in case.

"Thomas has sent some security personnel to stay in the hotel over there in Old Huaxia City from tonight, and if something happens tomorrow, someone will naturally hire them to protect the safety of the community..."

Security companies need to be formal, and if they accept commissions, they can fight back when the employer or the industry is in danger, or they may break the law.

Everything is arranged, and dozens or hundreds of professional security personnel are hired to guard the old Huaxia City for a symbolic fee, although fools know that such commissions are tricky, but it is legal.

Either the rioters don't come, or they are shot dead by security personnel, which is in accordance with American law.

Jia Yin's garden is very beautiful, and he walked while talking, and when he came to this Zhang Nan said, "Don't talk about this, I'll know what will happen tonight." ”

Los Angeles is like a powder keg about to explode, and the "combined forces" will not be a hero this time, but will only do defensive work.

In distant Albania, two mercenaries hired by the United Forces are preparing to raid a village.

In the middle of the night of the Indian incident, Los Angeles exploded!

The four policemen were acquitted, and a large number of blacks poured into the streets to protest and vent their grievances, which soon led to bloodshed.

The situation has deteriorated dramatically in a short period of time, and I don't know what the Los Angeles Police Department thinks, and there are hardly many police officers in the South City area of Los Angeles, which is the most noisy.

The blacks who made trouble were not only whites, but even Latinos attacked, and then it turned into a big scuffle.

Arson, looting of shops began, South Los Angeles began to be full of flames, there were no police, no troops, and even the fire brigade cars were blocked.

Zhang Nan didn't watch the news about Los Angeles on satellite TV, and he didn't have any effort: the operation in the mountains of Albania had just ended, it was successful, there was no overkill, and the mercenaries were withdrawing in the direction of Greece and Macedonia.
