Chapter 546: Protest and Counter-Protest
"Stop hurting the Earth!"
"We don't need to add land!"
"The ocean is still peaceful!"
"Don't work or buy a house at Staten!"
Hundreds of environmentalists gathered at the Staten reclamation site, holding signs protesting the government's land reclamation!
As long as these environmentalists do not protest by extreme means, the government will not bother to pay attention to them, and these people will disperse on their own initiative after a long time!
But with the back-up support of a group of real estate developers, not only did the protesters not disperse, but as time went on, more and more people joined the protests, and some extreme behaviors followed, some protesters ran to the gate of the city government to sit naked, some ran to Wall Street to splash fake blood on the copper bull, and some ran to the highway to lie down .......
"Are you going to watch the government destroy our oceans?"
"Stand up and join us in protecting the oceans!"
During the morning rush hour, more than a dozen protesters climbed onto the roof of the New York subway train to attract attention.
"your protest!"
"Get out of here!"
"We're all going to be late!"
"Get out of the way and protest, don't disturb our lives!"
The entire station was shut down because of the dozen or so protesters, and hundreds of people who rushed to work in the morning were stranded on the platform, and as time went on, more and more people were stranded, and many people began to be dissatisfied and clashed with the protesters.
"your M's protest, my bonus this month is in vain, I thank you!" a nameless anger rose in the heart of a man stranded on the platform when he saw that he was late.
He had a good job this month and should have received a bonus of several hundred dollars, but today the group of protesters made him late for work, and the bonus that he was about to receive flew like this! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he picked up the mineral water bottle in his hand and smashed it at the protesters on the roof of the car.
"Get out of here, you bastards!"
"Your existence is a burden to the earth!"
The whole platform was chaotic for a while, mineral water bottles, coffee cups, hot dogs, Hamburg flew towards the protesters on the roof of the car, smashing more than a dozen people howling and dancing on the roof of the car, while the people under the car were still angry after throwing the things in their hands, dozens of hot-tempered people climbed on the roof of the car and scuffled with more than a dozen protesters, the whole scene suddenly fell into greater chaos, and then more people climbed onto the roof of the car, more than a dozen protesters were finally thrown down, the entire station became an underground boxing gym, and hundreds of citizens staged a group fight.
"Hey, stop, you're going to beat them to death!"
More than 20 policemen and more than 100 special police soldiers on duty hurriedly arrived and stopped the crowd, and hundreds of people beat up more than a dozen people, and if they did not stop it quickly, they would die.
By the time the police and SWAT officers had separated the crowd, more than a dozen protesters were lying on the ground dying, covered in footprints, but fortunately all of them were still alive and there were no human lives.
And this incident, after media coverage, instantly became the object of heated discussion in the whole United States, and under the guidance of the mainstream media, these protesters were labeled as urban vandals.
"We can't afford to watch these people destroy our city!"
"We're going to stand up and fight these people!"
"Get them out of New York!"
Under the guidance of the media and the official behind the scenes, a counter-protest quickly ignited the whole of New York, and the protesters became street rats for a while, and everyone shouted and beat them.
With the continuous advancement of computer technology, John knew the importance of the online world, so he had the government set up a group of official trolls to cheer for the government on the Internet and guide public opinion. As for the mainstream media, after the last rectification, the mainstream media in China have all become the throat of the government, and all those who do not cooperate will be banned from operating, while the foreign media only have the right to interview in China, but not the right to broadcast, so the government has now firmly controlled the media.
The FBI arrested eight New York real estate developers and property speculators in a single day, and after some interrogation, they confessed to paying people to protest in order to prevent the government from developing the Stinterdon affair.
After media reports and guidance, the people of the United States were in an uproar, and environmental protection was actually hired by real estate developers and speculators to get the government to abandon the development of Staten and let Manhattan's housing prices rise.
With such behavior and bloody exploitation, these real estate developers and property speculators have successfully aroused public outrage and become public enemies in the United States, and tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets to petition the government to severely punish these black-hearted real estate developers and property speculators.
In the end, after the court verdict, eight real estate developers and property speculators were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 10 to 5 years for inciting and instigating the public to confront the government, endangering national security, and disrupting public order.
The crime of opposing the government is serious in any country.
As for the protesters, all of them were sentenced to 30 days in prison, ranging from one year to six months, and the general participants were handed over to the New York government detention center for execution, and the leader was sent to Alaska to be executed.
It is worth mentioning that two Hollywood stars participated in the protests, one is actress Jane Fonda and the other is the famous actor Sam Watson.
The court sentenced the two stars to six months in prison and handed them over to Alaska to execute. They will either make accessories in Alaska in the middle of their lives, or they will die in the wilderness of Alaska and become food for the wild beasts to spend their winters.
John has no forgiveness for these two people, and there is no need to forgive, especially Jane Fonda, who is a protest professional, and she has her share in all protests, environmental protests, feminist protests, Vietnam War protests...... If all are normal demands, John can ignore it, but let the government close all oil fields and ban oil extraction, and reach zero emissions in fifty years!
Is this a request that is unreasonable and unrealistic, and when she was taken away by the police, she was still very nervous, and she was scissorhands and tongue sticking out in front of the camera, which was simply grandstanding.
John hopes that she will arrive in Alaska with such a good attitude and be able to withstand the Alaskan winter.
The court's verdict was so gratifying that people across the United States took to the streets to celebrate when they saw that these people had received the punishment they deserved, and they almost beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers.
Since the government cracked down on crime, restored the economy, reduced unemployment, and improved infrastructure, the credibility of the government is very high in the eyes of the people, especially among the white community.
