Chapter 361: Shooting
"I think now Citi has reached a very dangerous point. β
Rhodes is a professor of sociology at Harvard University, and at the moment he is teaching his own students in the classroom.
"I have been to seven different ranches of desire, conducting academic visits and social surveys. People in these places generally believe in the Lord of Desire, have good moral standards, are willing to take the initiative to learn, have a positive attitude towards life, and even regard work as a pleasure.
Don't open your mouth so wide, Ritter, you heard you right!
In the ranch of desire, you can live comfortably without working, and you can even live well, but the people there like to work, and they see the opportunity to realize the value of their lives, and not everyone has this opportunity there.
To be honest, I loved Desire Ranch for the first week I was staying at Desire Ranch, and every morning I woke up thinking I was in heaven.
But, a month later, I was a little scared.
In the Ranch of Desire, you can hear someone praising the Lord of Desire all the time, but as long as you say a word against the Lord of Desire, you can immediately feel the faint hostility of the people around you, they will not come up and beat you, they just subconsciously leave you.
I did a little experiment at Dieter's Ranch of Desire:
I was talking to myself in the crowd at the height of the crowd, and notice that I did not jump to the high platform to give a speech, but said to myself in a normal volume in the crowd:
"The actions of the Lord of Desire remind me of the Holy Bishops of the Middle Ages, who also had good intentions at the beginning, hoping to make the world a better place through their own efforts, but blind faith will bring disaster, and blind followers will eventually become thugs. β
Somewhat unexpectedly, no one stopped me from going on, and the people around me who heard me even took the initiative to pull me to a clearing lot, which was a small theater where I could give speeches to my heart's content.
Then, on the second day, I saw that the content of my speech was compiled into a text and published on the information platform, which became the object of criticism and refutation by many people. β
Professor Rhodes paused and took a sip of water from his glass.
"Professor Rhodes, I think Ranch of Desire is doing a good job, and you should have the courage to accept criticism, just as the Lord of Desire is not angry with your criticism. β
Some students below countered the professor's statement that classroom discipline at Citi University is not as strict as that of Red Flag, and that students are encouraged to speak up in class at any time as long as they do not interrupt the teacher's train of thought.
"You said it very well, I also think that the Lord of Desire is a great man, well, well, if you insist, I can also call it 'Him'. β
Professor Rhodes put down his glass and continued: "I am not dissatisfied with the treatment of the Ranch of Desire, in fact, the ideological debate is very important in our sociology and philosophy. β
"What makes me shudder is that on that information platform, I am the only opponent!
I admit that many of the critics of my views make sense, and even I have a sense of being convinced.
But you know, in a free society, there should be different points of view, even if there is a neutral point of view or a point of view that agrees with me, I think this is normal, but no, all views are one-sided in favor of the Lord of desire! This is very abnormal. β
"Professor Rhodes, why don't you think it's because of my lord's great charisma that attracts these believers?"
"You say it well, believers! That's the key! People should have faith, but they can't become believers! Believers are blind obedience, replacing people's thoughts with the thoughts of the Lord, attributing their actions to the Lord, and using the Lord to explain everything -- believers have no freedom in their thinking!"
"Our Lord has come to bear the sins of mankind, and my Lord will not forsake anyone because of the sins of believers!"
"No one can bear the sins of others!"
"My lord is not a man, my lord is a god!"
"Then he should not interfere in the human world! Render to God what is God, and to Caesar what is Caesar's!"
"Our Lord is the Lord of desires! The spirit born from the dark side of the human mind! The Lord who came to promote the upward development of human civilization!"
"Blind fanaticism can only lead mankind to ignorance!"
The quarrel grew louder and louder, and the professors on the podium and the students under the podium had already stood up and loosened their ties, just so that their necks would not be tightened by their ties when they yelled loudly.
"The Lord of Desires claims to be the spirit born in the dark side of the human mind,
If He is telling the truth, and He is coming from the dark side of the human mind, is that the desire to deceive, oppress, destroy, etc.? So how do you know that He is not deceiving now?
If He is telling a lie, then He is a false god and a liar!"
"Blasphemy!"
The student suddenly pulled out a pistol from his bosom and shot the professor in the chest, knocking him to the ground.
And that's not all, he then rushed to the podium, 'Woo Woo Woo
"I'm sorry, students, I'm sorry to interrupt your class. β
Confirming that he had shot the professor, Peter straightened up, placed his pistol on the podium, and stood behind the podium and bowed to everyone.
On his face, there was no post-murder guilt.
"I just made a mistake, yes, it was a mistake for me to kill Professor Rhodes. The student said, standing on the podium like a teacher.
"βPeter, I don't see in your face that you think what just happened was a mistake. "In the classroom, there were questions raised.
Maybe it's because everyone usually has a better relationship, or maybe it's because this Peter's calm expression now makes people feel less dangerous.
"If it were my lord, it would not be blasphemous because what Professor Rhodes said, because my lord wants to see the progress of human civilization, and any thinking in a different direction is precious to my lord. β
"Peter, then you-"
"I'm sorry, I was impulsive, I don't have the same tolerance as my lord. So I sinned, I stifled a direction of thought. β
"And you're nowβ"
"There is no escaping my sins, but I must not let them misunderstand the teachings of my Lord because of my mistakes. Therefore, I would like to apologize to all of you, explain the teachings of my Lord, and take responsibility for my guilt - my Lord does not advocate escaping responsibility, and I will wait here for the police to arrive. β
ββββββββββββββ
The shooting of a professor at Harvard University in class caused an uproar at Citi β and while the shooting of a Citi campus is not unusual, it has not happened at Harvard.
In particular, the killer Peter Jeremiah was able to bring guns into the campus because of the Stell's Presidential Act, which was evaluated and selected to allow some of the teachers and students on campus to be morally noble and willing to sacrifice themselves, to have the privilege of carrying guns on campus, and they also had the right to shoot and kill dangerous people who illegally brought guns into the campus.
However, the legal school gun carrier used the gun he was carrying to shoot his teacher in class.
Add to that his desire sectarian background and the debating process in the classroom with the nature of a clash of religious consciousness.
What's more, after the murder of Peter Jeremiah, not only happily admitted that it was his personal impulse, but also gave his classmates a lesson in the doctrine of the Desire Sect before the police arrived.
All of this has brought this case to the forefront.
Massachusetts, City Court of Physicianton.
Peter Jerry Maier, twenty-one, was admitted to Harvard Business School two years ago. He has twice risked his life to save others, and last year he was named a good citizen of Boston β which is where he is qualified to wear a gun on campus.
In addition to studying, he spends most of his time in community service, helping hundreds of people, and has recorded more than five voluntary blood donations in the past three years, and twice he was admitted to the hospital because of injuries in the line of duty. β
Yes, now he's a defendant, a murderer, but I still want to emphasize that this is a good lad!"
"I don't have anything to defend against his crimes, and he told me that he didn't need a lawyer and was willing to accept any punishment β I'll tell you the truth, I didn't even receive a penny from him for legal fees, really.
But a lot of people here know me, and I'm not a lawyer who can defend people for free, so where do my attorney fees come from?
My lawyer's fees came from those people he had helped, and these people took the initiative to raise and raise donations, and I have here a list and a record of the process of these people raising their lawyer's fees, which I will submit to the judge as supporting evidence to prove that these lawyer's fees came from a clear source. β
The average lawyer would have been interrupted a long time ago when he talked so eloquently in court, but the lawyer who defended Peter Jeremiah was a well-known Citi barrister, and his position in the legal profession alone was enough to ensure that his defense would not be interrupted.
When these people heard that this good young man had killed someone and committed a crime, many of them had the first thought that it was impossible! The second thought was that the man he killed must have deserved it! I am not saying here that these people were right, but that this proves from the side how trustworthy this young man's character is. β
"Yes, he shot his teacher, but I will say that nothing is isolated! This child used to live in Dieter, he had a poor but happy family, but his parents were killed by mistake in a street shootout, the bank took the house that had not been paid off, and he and his sister lived on the streets.
If it goes according to normal development, he may have to go to work as a drug dealer, rob and steal to support himself and his sister. β
"It was the Lord of Desire who saved them in despair, and in the Ranch of Desire, he and his sister rediscovered happiness and dignity. It was there that he regained his confidence in life and was admitted to Harvard University through the free education provided by Desire Ranch. β
"His helpful, righteous and courageous character is inseparable from that warm life on the ranch of desire. But why did he leave that warm ranch of desire and come to study at Harvard? Because he believes that Havard is the best school in the world, and studying here will enable him to make more contributions to human civilization in the future!"
"But what did he meet here? a professor, a respected professor at Harvard, who unceremoniously attacked his faith, calling the Lord of Desires a 'false god and a liar'! β
"I don't have much to say about the crime, and I don't have anything to defend it, it's on the surveillance video of the whole process, and this young man didn't forget to explain the teachings of the Lord of Desire even when he waited for the police to arrive in class. β
"This is a believer, a true believer! Then I would like to ask, what do you think will happen to a professor who calls his lord a 'false god and a liar' in front of a righteous believer? What should happen to him?"
"Finally, I would like to say that this young man has saved five lives, twice in danger of his life in order to save people, twice in the emergency ward of the hospital, and twice in the line of life and death! The reason why he was able to carry a gun into the campus of Harvard University was because the entire Harvard University people believed in his character!
In addition, hundreds of people have been helped by him, and these people who have been helped by him are now waiting outside the courthouse to wait for your verdict. β
"My defense is over. β
ββββββββββββββββ
The causes and consequences of this case are clear, the motive for committing the crime is clear, and the defendant confesses to his crime, and even cooperates, clearly expressing his thoughts and activities when committing the crime.
"The court will then be adjourned for 30 minutes, and the verdict will be announced after 30 minutes. The judge struck the gavel and adjourned the trial. The jury and judge entered the backroom and began to discuss the verdict.
"I think that this Peter Jeremiah deserves a lenient sentence. β
"Seconded. β
"I don't think it's appropriate, this opening can't be opened, if we open this opening today, someone will invoke precedents in the future and give a light sentence for killing people for their beliefs, which will cause great harm to social stability - don't forget, there is more than one religion in this world, there are also *** religions and holy bishops!"
"It makes sense, many terrorist organizations in the world have a background in education, and if we give a light verdict on this case today, we will be in big trouble in the future. β
Citi enforces the law of the sea, and the case is very important, and a precedent will lead to similar cases that will invoke the judgment scheme in the future.
"But from a moral point of view, this lad is almost a saint, and I don't think it is reasonable for us to sentence this lad for ordinary homicide. β
"Yes, I think so too, this lad deserves our attention. β
"There are many people who believe in the Desire Sect, and if we open up to him, what about the other Desire Sect members? Faith cannot be used as a reason to exonerate murderers!"
"But faith ennobles people!"
"Noble people who kill people should also be punished by the law!"
"So how do you explain to the people who are waiting outside the courtroom?"
"Professor Rhodes' daughter is also waiting outside the courtroom!"
